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?

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

fresh:
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.

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

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