Subject: Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

The adaptation of the sequel to the novel by Helen Fielding is funny and entertaining. It isn't completely neccessary to have seen the first installment of this series, but it would certainly be beneficial in understanding the relationships between the title character and the 2 main men in her life. There are a lot of amusing moments and a few laugh-out-loud gutbusters to keep the attention of even the most put-upon male.

Renee Zellweger packs on the pounds again to fill the role of Bridget Jones and does a good job. One thing I couldn't stand was her hair. Stringy and greasy-looking almost the entire film, it churned my stomach just to see it. Colin Firth as stodgy Mark Darcy is likeable and frustrating at the same time. I actually think Firth should receive some consideration as the next James Bond, even though I haven't seen a James Bond movie since Roger Moore was oogling Tanya Roberts. Hugh Grant steals the show as sex-obsessed Daniel Cleaver.

Warning I saw this movie in a packed theater of mostly women and they absolutely ROARED through the entire picture. Things that I thought were amusing or garnered a chuckle, these women were rolling in the aisles and horse-laughing. It got to the point that I was wondering if we all were watching the same movie. I thought I might have been transferred to a Detroit-area theater circa 1987 for an advanced screening of Eddie Murphy's "Raw".
