Bridget Jones's Diary

Finally we get the superb romantic comedy BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY on blu ray. It has been a long time coming for all of its fans and the first question will of course be whether it is worth double dipping. How much better is the blu ray presentation than the dvd. I can happily say it far surpasses it. I want to start by saying this splendid film has in no way aged and the story rings true as fresh as ever. And this film is in no way just a chick flick. Yes, it is a romantic comedy but it has a depth and realism that makes it something both women and men will like. Renee Zellweger reigns supreme here as Bridget and provides slapstick comedy at its best while making you love and care for her underdog character. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant are superbly cast as the male leads and the romantic foils for Bridget. This is indeed a truly heartwarming tale. Now for the blu ray. I was very excited to see how pristine the video presentation is. Colors pop brightly and skin tones are fresh and natural. Black/white ratio is excellent. The clarity and crispness is certainly what brings this film to new life. The audio is 5.1 DTS-HD Master and works superbly. Dialogue is always strong and present and the surround speakers get good use when need be. But the music is a big part of this film and represents each milestone in Bridget's journey from Chaka Khan to Diana Ross and in those moments all the speakers come to life in a glorious style that raises the emotional level of this film to an even higher caliber. BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY is a superb film that gains new life with its blu ray release. I highly recommend it.

I wish they had a six star rating... I love this movie. It is one of a select few that I can watch over and over and not get bored. (If you really want a treat- read the sequel! SOOOOOO funny.) It helps too if you know the storyline for Pride and Prejudice- makes it even more delightful. My friends and I choose this one time and time again- so if you're in need of a good romantic comedy... reach for Bridget. With that in mind definitely not for the younger crowd- there is some pretty crass language and content in there at times (there is a reason it's rated R). (On a side note... I actually preferred the movie to the book. It's rare that I side with the movie... as they usually always butcher the plotline... but in this case their changes/additions really added some flavor that was lacking in the book version.)

Terrific

This first one in the Bridget Jones trilogy is a wonderful little film that warms the heart of anyone who has felt insecure about their physical attractiveness and concern over a loving and meaningful, intimate relationship passing them by because they do not live up to the cultural expectations of beauty. While this is not the most progressive female point of view, the film (and the whole trilogy for that matter) takes the viewer on a funny and enlightening roller coaster ride as Bridget Jones actually grows into a confident and personally fulfilled woman. Renee Zellweger does an expert turn as the insecure, yet plucky, slightly overweight woman who longs for love and acceptance. Colin Firth (as the very proper and successful barrister, jokingly named Mark Darcy - after the very romantic character, Mr. Darcy, a role Firth played in the PBS classic version of "Pride and Prejudice") and Hugh Grant (as the proverbial bad boy) both do an excellent job as Bridget's potential love interests. All in all, the film is great fun!

This movie is the best when it comes to a comedy romance.Bridget(Renee' Zellwegger)is a busy career woman,decides to turn over a new page in her life by channeling her thoughts,opinions and insecurities into a journal that becomes a hilarious chronicle of her adventures.Soon she becomes the center of attention between a who's too good to be true(Hugh Grant)and another who's so wrong for her,he could be just right(Colin Firth)..I have watched this movie quite a few times and it's a movie you can watch over and over again..

Renee Zellweger does a fabulous job of portraying Bridget Jones. You would never guess that this great accent came from a Texan. At the age of 32, she is unhappy with her unmarried status, and everyone constantly throws it in her face. She is interested in her boss Daniel Cleaver, but knows he is not the type of man that she should see. When she meets Mark Darcy (a set up by her mother), they dislike each other immediately, and the fact he hates Daniel is just a bonus. The comedy that follows is just hilarious. This is a very entertaining movie. Hugh Grant sheds his normal good guy persona to be the guy you love to hate. He is very effective in the role switch. Colin Firth is just plain loveable. This is a movie to pull out and watch again and again.

I know these films have had some poor reviews, but I have found them funny and entertaining. It really doesn't matter to me that the plots to both films are similar. Anyone who has been seduced by the wrong man and who has turned down the good one and lived to regret it, will enjoy being able to laugh about it. Good endings too (I cannot stand a miserable ending) A heartfelt young womans love story, and there are very few good ones around in my opinion.

Ya no encuentro las pelis en ningún lado así que decidí comprarla y es de muy buena calidad. La imagen es muy buena!

Let me begin by saying that I do NOT like chick flicks. This is the ONLY girly movie I have ever liked in my life! I am a huge fan of British movies and British actors in general, so that's why I decided to see this movie in the first place. I remember watching it when it was first released but I hadn't seen it since then (until last night). On a whim, I borrowed the DVD from my local library a couple days ago and I am SO glad I did because I laughed just as hard the second time around. The characters are real and relatable and the storyline is classic (Pride & Prejudice). Perhaps the best fight scene I've ever seen in a movie takes place in this one when Mark and Daniel scrap outside (and inside) the Greek restaurant, across the street from Jones's house. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! Hugh Grant is at his caddish best and Colin Firth plays Darcy to a tee (as he did so well in the TV production of Pride & Prejudice in 1995). A casual viewer would never guess that Renee is NOT a Brit - she pulls the role off really well and should be congratulated for doing so. If you're in the mood for a good laugh and some naughty behaviour, you've GOT to see Bridget Jones's Diary!

Excellent movie.

Sin duda no puede faltar este dvd en mi colección, puedo ver mil veces esta película y jamás me canso lo divertida y fresca que es! La calidad de la película está super y la traducción igual
