Bridget Jones's Diary Reviews
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
How can you celebrate a movie in which Zellweger doesn't soar but simply avoids disaster?
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
All power to Firth the actor. He's the compleat Darcy, and he never wavers.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Oh, such fun for older teens!
Austin Chronicle
Sarah Hepola
It is gloriously and tear-wellingly funny.
Variety
Lael Loewenstein
As a film, however, item misses its mark, failing to capitalize on the staccato rhythms and sardonic wit of Bridget's inner life.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's so aggressive you don't even have to like it; the movie likes itself well enough for the both of you.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Ms. Zellweger makes the most of what she's given and manages to triumph time and again over her pratfalls and public rump displays. In a word, she's terrific.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
It's Zellweger's unselfishness that sells the movie. How many other young actresses would be willing to let a movie make fun of their fat thighs?
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Renee Zellweger is dazzling as the irrepressible star of Bridget Jones's Diary, the highly anticipated film adaptation of Helen Fielding's international bestseller.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
The film tries to position itself as a comic anthem for unshackled single-womanhood, but it's aimed at the bland middle.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It's glib when it should be witty, flat in situations demanding heels and wants us to believe that an actress celebrated for her beauty would perceive herself as unappealing.
Seattle Times
Misha Berson
The movie is often clunkily paced and edited.
Newsday
John Anderson
The thrust of the story is how miserable it is being a single young woman while still making it look like a lark.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Warm and charming and often witty, it's as good a romantic comedy as has come out for some time.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
Where the highly likable actress [Zellweger] proves most valuable is in making us adore this insecure, clumsy, contradictory creature.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Time and again, we find ourselves unsure how to respond.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Zips along at a laugh-a-minute pace and fully involves the viewer in Bridget's little slice of life.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Women here and abroad are going to laugh with her, cry with her, steam with her, frost with her and totally identify after this gloriously full, heartfelt, generous performance.
Slate
David Edelstein
Let me say in Bridget Jonesy fashion that Zellweger is an irresistible sex goddess, hurrah!!!
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
The script is teasingly, pleasingly raunchy in places.
