BRIDGET JONES DIARY EDGE OF REASON REBECCA MOVIE

With his eyebrows raised in tentative apology, and his lower lip petulantly grazing his front teeth, he was born to play the cad.ДЇirth gives as good as he gets where the tiny gestures are concerned heвЂ™s quietly hilarious as the hypersensitive stuffed shirt whose eyes get wider and upper lip gets stiffer with every act of outrageousness committed by Bridget. Why heвЂ™s ever played a love-struck puppy dog in the past is anybodyвЂ™s guess letвЂ™s just hope he never does it again. This is a shame, because the script, written by Andrew Davies, Helen Fielding and Richard Curtis, is wickedly smart and unabashedly silly at the same time (sort of the way you want Bridget to be), and Grant gives what must be his funniest and most sexy performance ever.

BRIDGET JONES DIARY EDGE OF REASON REBECCA MOVIE

(They canвЂ™t quite believe it either, though for entirely different reasons.) The movie might be British, but its attitude toward girls is still pure Hollywood. You get the sense she doesnвЂ™t believe her character could ever get the likes of Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) to fight over her. (WasnвЂ™t the point of the character, as she was written by Helen Fielding, that she thought she was fat - and that when she finally got down to her вЂњidealвЂќ weight her friends thought she was sick?) In вЂњBridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,вЂќ thereвЂ™s something shamed and apologetic about ZellwegerвЂ™s performance that undercuts what is otherwise a gleefully indulgent satire of chickdom. Zellweger plays Bridget like being Bridget is a flaw. IsnвЂ™t it just her luck? First they pick an American to play her, albeit one with a decent accent, then they make her weight a character issue. Bridget-in-the-movie speaks in a feathery whisper, keeps her eyes downcast, never brushes her hair and has a sense of style that would best be described as punitive.

Bridget-in-the-book is a tart-tongued loudmouth with roller-coaster moods and an insecure streak as Homeric as her outlandish self-confidence. SheвЂ™s also brave, uninhibited, spontaneous and outgoing - though IвЂ™m not sure Renee Zellweger or director Beeban Kidron, who inherited the character fully formed from вЂњBridget JonesвЂ™s DiaryвЂќ director Sharon Maguire, got that memo.

(Plus an extra 20 pounds.) SheвЂ™s the dumbest thing you ever said, the most blinkered, self-involved thought you ever had and the time you woke up swearing never, ever to drink again in your life, ever.
