"Bridget Jones's Diary" DVD Review

"Bridget Jones's Diary"
on DVD
Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Great date movie both sexes will enjoy
•  Shelby Lynne's "Killin' Kind" Music Video
•  Very funny list of things the featurette will/will not do
Cons  •  None I think are important enough to mention!
The Bottom Line - This is truly a wonderful "date" movie. Men and women will both find things they can relate to in the film, and the cast does a great job of bringing Helen Fielding's novel to life.

 
Product Description
•  Commentary from the director Sharon Maguire
•  Seven deleted scenes
•  Music videos by Shelby Lynne and Gabrielle
•  Behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of "Bridget Jones's Diary"
 
 
"Bridget Jones's Diary" DVD Review/Recommendation
Renee Zellweger successfully tackles a British accent and weight gain, and transforms herself into Bridget Jones. This is one of Renee's best roles to date - the mix of romance and comedy showcases her talent and allows her to stretch her acting wings, making Bridget into an endearingly real person.

First-time director Sharon Maguire cast Renee despite worries from some naysayers that Texas-born Renee couldn't pull off the very British Bridget. Her worries proved unfounded as Renee turned in a grade A performance, as did the supporting cast of highly talented actors including Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.

"Bridget Jones's Diary" is the perfect choice for a date night spent at home. Definitely not just a "chick flick," Bridget's sure to provide laughs to men and women alike.
