From the makers of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill comes the screen adaptation of Helen Fielding`s international best seller starring Golden Globe winner Renee Zellweger (from Nurse Betty and Jerry Maguire) in the title role as the dynamic, irrepressible and outrageously original Bridget Jones.32-year-old Bridget smokes too much, drinks too much and has a tendency to say whatever`s on her mind. As a New Year`s resolution she decides it`s time to take control of her life - and starts keeping a diary.
Now, the most provocative, erotic and hysterical book on her bedside table is the one she`s writing. With a taste for adventure and an opinion on every subject - from exercise to men to food to sex and everything in between - she`s turning the page on a whole new life.The fireworks begin when her charming though disreputable boss played by Hugh Grant (from Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill) takes an interest in the quirky Miss Jones and the ups and downs of their ill-fated relationship prove hilarious. Thrown into the mix are Bridget`s band of slightly eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance (Colin Firth from Shakespeare in Love) that Bridget cannot seem to stop running into or help finding quietly attractive.
