Colin Firth or Hugh Grant (one of them) said that everyone sort of raised an eyebrow when they announced that Renee Zellweger was going to play the part of Bridget Jones, but that she blew everyone away. Well, that was exactly how I reacted. She was perfect for the part, in my opinion. As for the film, it was sweet, romantic, and DAMN FUNNY! I always laugh when I watch it, and I've seen it about 10 times. Hugh Grant is a good snake, and Colin Firth is very charming, even though he's pretty stiff in this. The end--or maybe what happens in the credits--makes it impossible for you to leave the movie not smiling. The end also makes me happy. There are two awards it was nominated for that it should have won: Best Kiss in the MTV movie awards, and the Oscar for Zellweger. She was hilarious! I'm looking forward to the sequel, but it won't be very good if she doesn't end up with the guy she did from this movie.-------9/10
