A triumph for all involved.
-
90Delivers frisky fun for bruised romantics regardless of age, sex or nationality.
-
90Ms. Zellweger accomplishes the small miracle of making Bridget both entirely endearing and utterly real.
-
88Made against all odds into a funny and charming movie that understands the charm of the original, and preserves it.
-
88The Zellweger-Firth-Grant triangle works as irresistibly as Hepburn-Grant-Stewart in "The Philadelphia Story."
-
88A delightful and endearing romantic comedy with the shape and resonance of a Jane Austen novel.
-
83An endearing comedy that could well end up being one of the year's big hits.
-
80The script is teasingly, pleasingly raunchy in places.
-
80Bessed with a gleamingly polished, very funny script.
-
80Cheerful, cheeky entertainment, a clever confection.
-
80She's (Zellweger) so disarming and so deeply Bridget -- gliding between mortifying slapstick and pathos -- that she's entirely won you over by the time the credits have rolled. The opening credits.
-
80Grant is casually fabulous and very amusing, but all power to Firth the actor. He's the compleat Darcy, and he never wavers.
-
78As much romantic fantasy as it is social satire, but more to the point -- it is gloriously and tear-wellingly funny.
-
75Warm and charming and often witty, it's as good a romantic comedy as has come out for some time, with an endearing, perfectly pitched central performance that's a four-square triumph for Zellweger.
-
75As adorable and predictable a film as the Helen Fielding best-seller that inspired it.
-
75Where the highly likable actress (Zellweger) proves most valuable is in making us adore this insecure, clumsy, contradictory creature.
-
75The film not only works better than expected but gets the important things right, starting, of course, with Zellweger's Bridget and Bridget's mind-set.
-
75Zellweger has a ticklish furriness reminiscent of Jean Arthur in her screwball comic prime.
-
75Bridget's most attractive asset is that she's played by Renée Zellweger.
-
70Quite likable -- even sometimes, with the squeezable Zellweger its principal object, lovable.
-
63It's Zellweger's movie to win or lose, of course, and she succeeds without the slightest touch of Hollywood glamour.
-
6395 breezy minutes that typify cotton-candy filmmaking.
-
60What's right as rain with Diary is the casting.
-
60The movie gives us episodes from her life, and although some of them are charming and all of them well-played, I occasionally found myself wondering why I should want to be interested in this person.
-
60Misses its mark, failing to capitalize on the staccato rhythms and sardonic wit of Bridget's inner life.
-
50Fans of the genre will enjoy it if they're not distracted by trite plot twists.
-
50The plot soon dwindles down to little more than a flimsy, Austen-esque comedy of circumstance.
-
50The filmmakers spend so much time milking gags they should have called it Bridget Jones's Dairy.
-
50I could have done without all the pushy tactics of this romantic comedy.
-
40The three-act structure is too predictable, and at 90 minutes, feels both draggy and hacked to the bone.
-
40How can you celebrate a movie in which Zellweger doesn't soar but simply avoids disaster?
-
30The worst part of Ms. Zellweger's plight is that she, along with others in the cast, has fallen victim to a first-time feature director whose vocabulary doesn't seem to include the word "simplicity."
-
30The urge to laugh is superceded by the urge to slap everybody and command them to stop embarrassing all of humanity.
