Bridget Jones's Diary DVD

Pity poor Bridget Jones Renee Zellweger. She's the 1990s British everywoman single, weight-obsessed, and very probably drunk on mid-price white wine. Her life goes from middling to worse when she embarks on a doomed affair with silver-tongued boss Daniel Cleaver Hugh Grant. In the background lurks a literal Mr Darcy Colin Firth, a seemingly cold lawyer who keeps crossing Bridget's path but whose precise intentions seem hard for her to divine. All the while Bridget records her lurches across life's highway in the eponymous diary, as an attempt to take control of her tragi-comic life.
