Bridget Jones is an average woman struggling against expectations.

Her charming boss takes an interest in her, and she cannot stop running into a rather disagreeable acquaintance whom Bridget cannot help finding quietly attractive.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
As a film, however, item misses its mark, failing to capitalize on the staccato rhythms and sardonic wit of Bridget's inner life.

It's so aggressive you don't even have to like it; the movie likes itself well enough for the both of you.

Ms. Zellweger makes the most of what she's given and manages to triumph time and again over her pratfalls and public rump displays. In a word, she's terrific.

This ultra-hyped adaptation of the ultra-successful Helen Fielding novel sends you out with a smile on your face.

It's Zellweger's unselfishness that sells the movie. How many other young actresses would be willing to let a movie make fun of their fat thighs?
