(Surround Sound 9) Bridget Jones Diary One & Two

Actors:Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth & Hugh Grant.

Synopsis:
Bridget Jones Diary - Can a single woman over 30, who smokes too much, drinks too much, and has a tendency to say whatever comes into her mind, find her place in the world... and a man? Bridget Jones is an assistant at a London book publisher, feeling time pass her by. When Daniel Cleaver, her boss, starts flirting with her in a vulgar way, she plunges straight in. An affair ensues and she's head over heels. She also keeps running into Mark Darcy, a reserved even stiff barrister who has known her since she was a child young enough to frolic naked in his wading pool, seems to look down his nose at her, and hates Cleaver (truth is, Daniel may be a bit of a bounder). What are Bridget's choices?

Bridget Jones Diary, The Edge of Reason - You thought the last movie was happily ever after? You thought wrong! Bridget and Mark are now together but for how long? A jellyfish by the name of Rebecca, Bridget's relationship paranoia, unusual horsemanship, magic mushrooms and a stint in prison are just some of the things Bridget has to face in The Edge of Reason. Add to that the return of Daniel Cleaver and you have the makings of one of the funniest films this year. Will they live happily ever after?

My Comments (4.5/5): It shows that love comes at the most unexpected times; sometimes when we were dressed our worst and sometimes when we are already in love. Love is about listening to your heart follow it, trust and communication. Well-plotted to inform us the different situations of love in a light-hearted way. 0.5 rating was given away because it seems too scary to be the perfect story of Love, and I hope that given to be in her shoes, I wished to be not as fat, not as fashion victim and with lots of luck to help me through, haa.
