Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/sexual harassment/groping/references to homosexual slurs

We begin at the age of 32 years old: in a nutshell Bridget Jones [Renée Zellweger:] at some point she begins her new job on the TV program Sit Up Britain as a news journalist/reporter as things went south at her previous job as you will find out.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 96 minutes film is a nostalgic look back on how romantic comedies used to be set out as for a good section of the start of this film there isn't much really happening; I mean there is something's happening but in a slow trickle, but after some time it does move out of first gear and it has some momentum to move along at a good pace.

The outlay and comedy also has at its disposal a inner monologue of Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones [she is putting this situation in her diary including at one point using a certain phrase that I could not put here; as she is getting well and truly stuck in this conversation which she is desperately trying to pull off, but as you will discover it is a complete lie or/and the underwear discussion on what kind of situation she is hoping for/planning for or the highly remembale sequence/skit and later on action; where Jones is dressed as a fire-fighter and as she is reporting live from this fire station; it is planned out that she is meant to come down this poll and do this interview, but things didn't happen this way; in reality broadly speaking they had so much go, stop and reset or reset as best as she could that by the end of it all they had was her curvy posterior coming down this poll with the camera shot of a full picture of her posterior and later on we have this one-on-one between Jones' two rivals; this is all good fun.

Character developments and performances; these character developments are foundation levels of character developments as they are all characters that can be built on if they return for a future instalment. But however these performances from everyone in this cast; put in the kind of performances that they become their characters; so in essence it would make them incredibly difficult or especially in either the lead or major supporting roles in possible to recast [just to cover my back for in the future just in case it happens; this version of this franchise anyway.]

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I mean if you haven't seen this film or you want to watch a romantic comedy that possibly doesn't acquire too much brain power possibly whilst eating a takeaway? Then this title will fulfil their purpose, there are some extra bits and pieces in the closing credits either photographs or extra scenes. This film also has some awards accredited its name; such as 8 Winners that include but not limited to London Critics Circle Film Awards 2002 ALFS Award British Screenwriter of the Year Helen Fielding Andrew Davies Richard Curtis and 32 Nominees which include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 2002 Oscar Best Actress in a Leading Role Renée Zellweger
