Bridget Jones Diary: Never again!

Two multiplexes nearby and both showing Bridget Jones Diary 24-7. I hate to go against public opinion but this movie is a stinker.

Don't get me wrong, I know it's a 'chick flick', and I love both Notting Hill and One Fine Day, but Bridget Jones Diary is pure rubbish.

It's not the fact that Hugh Grant is more smarmy than usual or the fact that they used an American (Renee Zellweger) to play an English character. It's the predictability.

Colin Firth who was excellent in both Fever Pitch and Shakespeare in Love is wasted in this drivel, and you know who Bridget Jones will end up with less than five minutes in.

This movie is pure film making by numbers and just because Bridget swears like a trooper and smokes does not make it good comedy. Admittedly I stand alone in thinking this.
