Bridget Jones's Diary

Ok, so I just finished watching Bridget Jones's Diary for the millionth time.  I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!  I am a singleton, as Bridget calls us, and recently went through a breakup.  So, I've been watching this movie non-stop!  It is actually somewhat cathartic for me.  One of my Favorite parts is in the beginning when she says (after a night of drinking at her house, I think on New Year's) "I have to make sure that I don't end up s&*%faced, listening to sad FM for the over thirties."  HAHAHAH! I played that scene over and over.  I love the Bridget character, because she is completely relatable for normal women.  She loves to drink, eat, smoke (I don't love smoking) - basically lives life.  I also love that she says she feels like an idiot most of the time.  I feel, not like an idiot, but weird or different than most people, most of the time.

I also love the scene where she's drunk on those canoes with Daniel Cleaver.  They are having so much fun and her future beau is looking on with jealously!

But I also think this is such a well-made movie.  The characters are well-developed, the story moves along at a nice pace and a sense of tension is created.  I know this movie is based on a book, but it translated seamlessly to the silver screen (although I won't totally know that, as I haven't read the book).  The movie takes you on a journey with Bridget through her life, her drinking, her interactions with her parents, friends and of course her boyfriends.  I love this movie and until I recover from my breakup will be watching it incessantly. 

So, now Bridget Jones the book is on my list to read and as soon as I do, I will let you all know what I think. I know you'll be waiting;)
