Movie: Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)

“Bridget Jones is an average woman struggling against her age, her weight, her job, her lack of a man, and her many imperfections. As a New Year’s Resolution, Bridget decides to take control of her life, starting by keeping a diary in which she will always tell the complete truth. The fireworks begin when her charming though disreputable boss takes an interest in the quirky Miss Jones. Thrown into the mix are Bridget’s band of slightly eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance who Bridget cannot seem to stop running into or help finding quietly attractive. Written by Anuja Varghese {anujav@excite.com}”

  • Release Date: 13 April 2001 (USA)
  • Run Time: 97 min
  • Country: UK , France

Tagline: It’s Monday morning, Bridget has woken up with a headache, a hangover and her boss.

Trivia: Both leading actors’ names, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant, are mentioned in the book. The first on “Tuesday 24 October” and the second on “Wednesday 16 August”. Colin Firth is himself a featured character in the book’s sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004). While audiences were eager to see Hugh Grant play a character opposite to his usual type-cast, it is ironic that original author Helen Fielding describes him, in real life, as being like Daniel Cleaver than any of his “normal” roles.

Goofs: Continuity: After the fight, Mark swings his jacket over his shoulder and the sleeves are inside out. Seconds later they are through the right way.
