A modern day adaptation Of Jane Austen’s Classic, Pride & Prejudice, Bridget Jones’s Diary looks at a 30 something Spinster Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) who, like all 30 something spisnters, wants a man in her life. Although her mom tries to fix her up with a hotshot lawyer, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), she is in love with her Boss, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). On a weekend trip they end up landing at Mark Darcy’s engagement party and Bridget ends up making a fool out of herself. In between Daniel rushes back home on pretext of some work and Bridget finds out that he is actually having an affair with an office colleague. The remaining story revolves around both Daniel and Colin fighting over Bridget. Nothing that you haven’t seen, heard or read before. Renee Zellweger is just about ok in the lead role. The star cast (Most of them english) have supported well. Lacks solid punchline and suffers from weak characterisations. Disappointing stuff. Worth a miss.
