One of my all time favorite romantic comedies. Starting to watch in "three, two, one."

Mathilde

Lol I randomly talked about this movie earlier today. We were discussing how romcoms are too polished and sleek in their production today and I cited this as an example of what we used to see and love: outfits repeated, worn and wrinkled, normal makeup and hair, lived-in realistic apartments, etc. Ugh please bring this vibe back. Now on to watch the actual reaction 😁

Youtalkingtome

They did keep letting us know how "fat" Zellweger is in this, though! :)

Sisi M

This is the pinnacle of British Rom-Coms for me. I adore it. Cannot wait to watch this reaction.

Mathilde

Oh yeah the early 00's fatphobia can stay back then! So ridiculous, Renee is luminous and so gorgeous in this movie!🥰

HereBeMeghan

Love this movie loads! But also yeah, the fat shaming (and even what was considered "fat") in the early 2000s was a wild time.

nj

yes, it was also a book series. i listened to the second one on audiobook over 20 years ago - i have a vague recollection of a few major plot points, but don't remember much else. this is loosely based on pride & prejudice, and it was very fun to those of us who loved the 1995 miniseries to see colin firth cast as mark darcy here, having played the best (imo) mr. darcy in the best (again, imo) adaptation. i hope you guys watch it at some point.

Part of the reason that Colin Firth played the role so well is that he's basically reprising his character of Darcy in the BBC 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It's been forever since I read Bridget Jones but in the book, there is a moment when she is watching Pride and Prejudice on TV for the umpteenth time and waiting for THE SCENE when Colin Firth as Darcy swims in the lake in his underclothes and then walks around with wet shirt clinging to his body. Of course they couldn't put that into this movie since they'd managed to actually cast Colin Firth! While Bridget Jones can be considered an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, it's a very loose one. I know you've watched Bride and Prejudice on the channel already. I really hope someday you get to see an actual adaptation. Obviously, the 1995 miniseries is the preferred version but the 2005 movie is quite good and worth watching as well. At least it would easier for you to schedule. But if you ever have a gap between TV series, please consider the miniseries. It's 6 episodes long.

acidnova

I remember in promoting the movie, how much people talked about how she'd gained weight for the role.

acidnova

Before I make my next comment, I'd like to say that I genuinely enjoy this movie, have it on DVD, and have watched it numerous times. But I have a criticism that I just need to get off my chest about the movie itself (not the story or book). I hate this soundtrack. To be clear - I do not hate the songs themselves. There are a lot of really good songs here. But the song choices are the laziest, most obvious needle drops they could have used at nearly every moment in the movie. It really bugs me. She's sad and lonely? "All By Myself." She's gonne pick herself up and be motivated? "I'm Every Woman." She quits her job and claps back at her boss? "R.E.S.P.E.C.T." Need to race to get somewhere? Not once, but twice let's use "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." Love the movie but I just want to watch a version with more interesting song choices.

Hugh Grant and Colin Firth exchanging awkward fisticuffs in the street to the tune of "It's Raining Men"...absolute cinema!!! *insert Scorsese meme here*

Meryl Lim

Hi, new Patreon member here. I'm really enjoying your reactions. Love that you watch so many classic movies. Bridget Jones is one of my favorite romcoms. Bridget is just so adorably awkward. I think you guys almost figured out that this is a modern remake of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. (Even has Darcy in it). As I remember the second movie wasn't bad and it somewhat follows the plot of Austen's final novel, Persuasion. Guess the final two movies were forgettable because, despite having seen them, I don't remember anything about them.

Merekat

One of my favorite rom-coms of all time. I hope you guys check out the other sequels. :)

I🖤Kraken

Well to be fair, this set the tone for most rom-com soundtracks. The thematic music in this movie was refreshing to hear as an audience member because it was the first time someone had done it and everything else after was derivative of Bridget Jones.

I🖤Kraken

There's still a lot left to say about the characters, believe it or not. And the movie series all together made about a billion. They really are lovely, funny, adult romances where the characters can be flawed but not justified with mental instability. (I'm looking at you, Silver Linings!) And the final fourth movie/book really upped their game. Phenomenal writing and my favorite. I hope you guys get to see them. Is the movie list up to next Christmas, yet?

Ashley Thomas

this is a fun one. the second one is also good and worth watching. i didnt see the others. i still am mad they are saying shes fat. if shes fat excuse me while i go put on a mumu. as others have said this is based on pride and prejudice. which is pretty clear if youve read or seen that. and yeah colin firth played darcy in the mini series. i honestly prefer the movie. its obviously a little more fast paced because its not a series but also the cinematography is just gorgeous. i love the way they shot it. and the cast is great. sadly no colin firth in that one but still highly recommend. hugh grant has a certain smarmyness to him. i dunno, maybe it seeps through from teh real him? i dunno a lot about him other than when he cheated on elizabeth hurley with a hooker and then had to do a walk of shame tour to every talk show to promote a movie. but he makes a good scoundral or bad guy (like in the d&d movie and heretic which you should totally watch ive never been so uncomfortable in my life) while colin firth seems incapable of not coming across as likeable. i dont think ive ever watched him and not thought he was probably kind even if hes quiet or awkward. anways glad you watched this, sorry for the babbling.

Pirin Tablets

The fourth one is my favourite too, such a lovely film!

Chemical Em

yeah the sequels are pretty lame, this story is complete it really felt like cash grab

GDF

I did think it was funny that Pride and Prejudice 2005 wasn't on the poll but this was. Not that I'm complaining, I love this film. Just think it's funny that this is now two modern adaptations of the story you've seen but not an actual adaptation of the source material lol. (1995 mini-series is very good)

Jumari

My recommendation: Don't bother with the sequels. It's unfortunately exactly the Jurassic Park thing you described. Zellweger stays terrific but the stories/scripts become wash, rinse, repeat. If I remember correctly, the author of the book series, Helen Fielding, got her inspiration for the "Mark Darcy" character from watching Colin Firth play "Mr Darcy" in the BBC's beloved Pride & Prejudice Miniseries from 1995. If true, it must have been pretty wild for her to have the same actor play "her" Darcy in the movie only a couple of years later :-)

Suzanne Whyte

I remember all the talk about how Renee had to gain a load of weight for the role and then stories about how quickly she lost the weight again afterwards to get back to a ‘normal’ weight or back to a size zero. There was so much talk about being size zero as some kind of ideal. It was wild.

Jamie Morgan

I think the problem we Brits have with Americans taking on a British role - especially a comedic one - is that Americans don't tend to 'get' our style and they run the risk of making the character too brash. But Zellweger was the perfect choice for this, it was the first thing I ever saw her in and I had NO idea she was American! It's clever that all the *really* embarrassing stuff that happens to her is always actually the fault of a man, and yet she suffers the consequences: - No one turned the mic on for her or even gestured to her to turn it on, even though Mr Fitzherbert clearly knew that was the issue - Her work environment becomes uncomfortable because Daniel pursued and used her - She turned up to the party as a bunny because George didn't tell her the theme had changed - Her first broadcast went wrong because of a miscommunication between the producer and the director, and the cameraman's misplacement of his camera The only times she's actually at fault are when she slips up verbally, and who DOESN'T slip up verbally from time to time? It's a very real depiction of the pressure women are under to be perfect. Also, if you get a moment, go back to the credits, there are some great jokes there that you unfortunately missed!

Jamie Morgan

This is such a time capsule of the early 2000s!

Jamie Morgan

I mean, that's the point. Bridget is an everywoman, honestly she's kind of a basic bitch. If this were made 15 years later she'd be a PSL girly, y'know?

rese

I was 8 when this movie came out and I still remember reading articles in like celebrity teen magazines that made it seem like Renee Zellweger was the fattest woman on earth. The early 2000s were hell.

that girl

Richard Curtis wrote this, Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, About Time, and Love Actually (he also directed the last two) and created Blackadder

vala p

I have never wanted anything as much as I want Mark's Christmas jumper. I love a good holiday themed sweater.

vala p

in the second book, there's a whole scene where Bridget, intrepid journalist that she is, interviews Colin Firth, who she is obsessed with in the books,. There's a DVD extra (remember those) where the two actors act out that scene.

vala p

I believe there was an argument that if a Brit could play Scarlett O'Hara, that this was just payback for that.

Terry Cooper

The one "who swears a lot" was in Veep.

Vicky N

Too bad you didn’t watch the credits to the end.

Mathilde

As I remember, pretty much any criticism about casting Zellweger died as soon as the movie came out. They could see she put a lot of effort in her performance and now I often see it used as an example of "I can't believe she's not British!"

PJ

I’ve read a couple of comments with people saying the following movies aren’t worth watching, so just here to post the opposite opinion too 🙌🏼 the sequels are a nice fun watch too.

Cristy

I haven't watched the sequels and I have no desire to do so but each to their own. I think this was nice and complete on its own. I love all of the nods to Pride and Prejudice and the 1995 series with Colin Firth as Darcy is just delightful and my fave adaption. This was so much fun, thanks, guys!

vala p

The "I thought you said she was thin" is one of the most awful lines in a movie

acidnova

Kind of like how everyone criticized Heath Ledger as the Joker, especially when they published the images of what he looked like with the messy makeup. Then the movie came out and everyone immediately realized how great his performance was.

Tina

Oooooh dear. And on Bridget Jones of all movies. Okay. Dear Joe and Kevin, actresses hardly ever stop working to stay with their children, it's just that most of them don't get any roles. You do mention it for a hot second at the end, but have you looked at well written female roles for women aged 35 to 55 recently?! No? It's because there barely are any. Watch the early Katee Sackhoff podcast interviews with other actresses her age - the other Battlestar actresses, but also people like Jewel Staite. There are almost no jobs for actresses in certain age brackets, unless they either have showrunners / writers / producers who favour them, and write specifically for them, or do a lot of cosmetic surgery and fuckig starve themselves- and are lucky. Look at male characters 35 to 55, look at their love interests, and tell me how many female actors you see who have the same approximate age and level of hotness as their co-stars. And then count their respective lines. Just saying. Thanks for the reaction! I'm glad you liked it!

Lola Lirola

Re: the sequels The second one is absolute trash and should be skipped at any cost. The third one is the very definition of meh. But! The fourth one, the most recent one is surprisingly lovely and heartfelt, and they manage to finally have a mature Bridget Jones that makes sense, and touches on themes that are deep and adult. I really recommend it. As for Zellwegger, she really pulled a Heath Ledger on this. People grumbled because the Bridget Jones character truly is iconic for an entire generation, and it felt like heresy to give it to an American. But then she did such a great job, especially with the accent, that they love her in the UK now.

Lola Lirola

Yeah! I remember with even more horror that she went on a super strict restrictive diet immediately after and got super skinny, and everyone went "oh, phew! thank god!! don't worry everyone, she's back to Hollywood normal!!!". It was so disgusting. In the book, she keeps mentioning her weight, and we're supposed to understand it as an absurd obsession of hers, a bit like "and the moment I lose the last 5 pounds, suddenly my entire life will be fixed and nothing will go wrong ever again!". It supposed to be satirical... BUT. But. It's also there. As a reminder. Just in case women get too comfortable with ourselves, you know? I always sigh when movies do that kind of plausible deniability.

Lola Lirola

Truly one of the best movie fights of all time.

Lola Lirola

Absolutely this!! And they do a subversion of expectations here when they're all in the lake and the one who ends up all soaked is... Hugh Grant. That's a wink at us.

Lola Lirola

I found the fourth one surprisingly deep and sweet, really worth it. (I would skip the other two, imo) Oh, and I think the list is already into the new year!! 😯

Lola Lirola

I love the "All By Myself" moment, but, to be fair, you're so right about the entire thing!

Lola Lirola

They never do and it's annoying!! Just mute it and let it play! 😩

Lola Lirola

(Lol, I just made this exact same comment twenty minutes ago before clicking "all comments" and seeing yours)

Lola Lirola

The Geena Davis Institute issues annual reports on this, and they are *dire*. Even in woman-led movies, men still had the most talking time! 😩

Tina

I remember disliking the sequel severely, so I never watched the third and fourth. I suppose I should at least watch the last one, everybody seems to like it quite a bit!

Lola Lirola

Do it! I watched it grumpily and it surprised me! It's quite good.

Youtalkingtome

I agree completely. I think this worked fantastically as a single, self-contained story.

Clare Manion

Y’know, one of these days you guys are going to have to watch Pride and Prejudice proper, lol. After seeing so many variants, it’d be super interesting to hear your thoughts on the source material. So, I haven’t seen this movie in ages and, oh man, quite a bit different seeing it now at 38 vs 13 when it came out. The Hugh Grant character is *insufferable* from the jump now (though perfectly played). And all the comments on her weight - as others have mentioned, that was rife in the early 2000s… a lot of that took a long time to unlearn (which makes the new Ozempic nonsense particularly troubling). Also - “Is that Salman Rushdie?” OMG, that’s totally Salman Rushdie! I almost did a spit take during that scene 😆

Anjali Agarwal

I absolutely adore this movie. Fun fact: Hugh Grant didn't know Renee was American till he heard her speak in her regular accent at the wrap party. She kept the British accent throughout filming on set.

Cotubug

It was Hugh Grant’s idea to not have stunt doubles do the fight scene and let it look like a real scrap. Such a fun choice

Suzanne Whyte

I think one of the other issues with it is the accents. British actors often play American and their accents are usually quite good because they grew up on American media and work hard on them if they know they want to try and go to Hollywood. American actors are less likely to go the other way so unless they have a natural talent or particular interest in accents their accents might not be great.

Mariska Costeris

I was about 28 when it came out and remember actually thinking she looked fat, that is the insane thing. She looks beautiful.

Youtalkingtome

I'm glad that she was well received! I really enjoyed her in this

Youtalkingtome

That makes a lot of sense. It's a hard accent to do well

BrummaGen

Same with the sequel. Glad to hear the last one is good.

BrummaGen

The novel Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding was based on her 1990s regular column, published anonymously in a couple of British newspapers, satirising the attitudes of and about 'typical' 30 something single career women at the time. As an ongoing feature there was no plot to the columns, but they did feature Bridget obsessing rather over Pride and Prejudice, and Mr Darcy in particular - the BBC TV adaptation with Colin Firth was being broadcast at the time. When the author decided to turn them into a novel, the P&P plot helped shape the content into a coherent story. The diary entries all begin with a brief summary (which we get a few examples of in the film) of the day's consumption, to show how Bridget is managing with her resolutions to lose weight and smoke and drink less - usually with added self-commentary - (vg-very good) or (poor) etc - "9st 1 (g); alcohol units 4 (g); cigarettes 19 (poor); calories 4,288 (vg)." "9st, alcohol units 7, cigarettes 23, calories (cannot bear to think about it: pizza, chocolate bombe. Oh No.)"

Alex

Did you recognise Honor Blackman that Jim Broadbent's character was flirting with at the party? Also, if you liked this, Please do 'Love Actually' at Christmas!

Allison O

People had different faces . . . and no barrel curls . . .

Allison O

What’s random is iirc both this and Legally Blonde came out within a year of each other and both featured the heroine turning up at a party in the same sexy bunny costume because she was misled about the party.

Allison O

I haven’t watched this in ages and man he really is just doing his Mr. Darcy 🤣 PS I do realize it’s a 213 year old novel but please no one explain the exact story parallels, lest we spoil the miniseries (and the book) for the guys!

As the person who suggested “Bride and Prejudice,” it gets tedious to keep reading people pretending it’s not an “actual” adaptation. Adaptation doesn’t mean copying the source exactly. It means it’s based on it. So it’s a modern adaptation. And an extremely clever one. The same person who made it made “Bend it Like Beckham.” Please note that while the 1995 P&P is beautiful, of course, a lot of people would struggle with the pace. It’s ok to like another one better. And the 2005 one is great. So is the 1940 one. And yes, I know the changes that are in it. It’s still wonderful.

Kate L.

First thing I ever saw Shirley Henderson in. And Sally Phillips, well known for the show “Miranda.” She also co-wrote “Decoy Bride” with David Tennant and Kelly McDonald if I remember right? She plays Shazzer. Also Gemma Jones- best known as Madam Pomfrey in HP/Mrs. Dashwood in the 1995 Sense and Sensibility. Hugh’s in that too of course. Embeth Davidtz, the other lawyer, was also in the 1998 “Mansfield Park.” More Austen connections. I’m surprised you didn’t know Miramax did rom coms. I can vividly remember the 1996 “Emma” which introduced 12 year old me to Ewan McGregor, being a Miramax project.

acidnova

I apologize for how I worded my original comment. Is there another word to use to distinguish from direct adaptations of source materials (keeping the same names, same locations/time periods, same plotlines, etc) versus adaptations that alter things in order to highlight different elements or to transpose it to a different location or time period? I wasn't trying to suggest that Bride and Prejudice and other movies/series that do similar things with their source materials aren't also adaptations but was trying to differentiate it from the versions that were more directly adapting the original book. I also love the 2005 version and think that the cinematography in that one is gorgeous.

Kate L.

Well observed on Hugh Grant. This was the movie that really solidified he could play the bad boy. I think he was tired of the nice guy parts. Sometimes I think he’s much edgier in real life too. He tends to come off awfully grumpy in interviews.

Kate L.

Yep, it’s like how they treated a size 6 as an XXL in “the Devil Wear’s Prada.” And when Andie hits a size 4 she’s praised as a better employee.

Kate L.

Keep remembering great actors- Celia Imrie too!

Kate L.

To this day I still yell at myself with “Come the F on Bridget!”

Jennifer Tremblay

I was 13 when it came out, and I thought she was larger back then. Looking back, she's still really thin in this movie! The media really messed with our perception.

Jennifer Tremblay

I love this film, and I refuse to watch the sequels. I prefer to think this story ended with the first movie.
