I just got home from seeing this movie and IT WAS HYSTERICAL. Seriously, my friend and I were laughing our butts off throughout the whole thing!

And Hugh Grant, so YUMMY!

Yeah, Hugh Jackman, Hugh Grant, I am likin those Hughs lately! LOL

Anyway, I recommend Bridget Jones--it was much fun!

I've been wanting to see this movie ever since they started showing the previews! I didnt get a chance to go see it yesterday- for some reason i thought it came out next friday

anyway- i am glad you liked it- it looks like a cute, funny movie!

ill have to go check it out soon!

Hi guys! I looked at my MSN CitySearch--for some reason, they don't list it as movies that are currently out! Is it already out, or is it coming out?

And Renee Zellweger is SOOO cute--gosh that is just so insane if that Bazaar rumor is true. How tall is she anyway? She would be UNDERWEIGHT if she is 130 and above maybe, say, 5'4...anyway, I think she looks good, and HEALTHY. Plus she is so cute, and that would be ruined if she became a stick. *ahem*--Calista Flockhart, Lara Flynn (from "The Practice")

Gosh, they don't even know that they look BAD as sticks...

I have heard of models that are 5'9 and weigh 120. Now that is just SICK. I understand if that's just their metabolism...but most likely, it is not. I'm only 5'3, and I'm skinny (but on the Health scale, I'm still healthy and in the range of the right weight), but it's b/c of my metabolism...and also, I try to GAIN pounds by eating ice cream and stuff! But it just doesn't work for me.

I, too, am looking forward to this movie. I think Renee Zellweger is cute, even with a few "extra pounds."

I really hope its just a nasty rumor that Harper's Baazar knocked her from the cover because of the weight she gained for the movie. What did she get up to? 125 or 130? PLEASE, what kind of example does that set...

Anyway, off my soapbox, I must say that Hugh Grant is yummy

ahhh, if Renee Zellwegger has a few "extra pounds" then i must have like an extra dump truck or something

anyway - i can't wait to see this movie - and now with a credible source (thank you amy) saying its hysterical i'm going to see it asap!

Hey guys! It comes out on Friday

. and Renee Zellweger looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Shame on others who think otherwise, just b/c of her "weight."

My sisters and I have already planned this as a GIRLS ONLY!! night out. It would just be wrong to bring a date to this movie. Not only that, Mr. 33 wouldn't appreciate me sitting and drooling over Hugh Grant.

It comes out Firday the 13th. I live in LA and it was playing here this weekend, so I snuck in to see it!

renee looks good--NORMAL in the movie--it makes me ill to think that anyone would think that was overweight.

Like Newbie, I couldn't find Bridget Jones listed anywhere as being currently out either, which confuses me because I really want to see that movie! If it is anything like the book it has to be great!!!! Plus it has Colin Firth and Hugh Grant in it(I am such a huge Colin Firth fan because of the 6 hour BBC version of Pride and Prejudice)And if they had gotten anyone but Colin Firth to play Mark Darcy it would have been just wrong.

You're right though, I was looking at the pictures of Renee Zellweger from that movie and she looks so adorable and looks very healthy...maybe even realistically so.

I read the book, and the sequel and LOVED the movie. Its a very close interpretation of the source material.

gphi2k · #11 04-09-2001, 01:37 PM

I have the same issue. Reading the book and then being disappointed by the movie. I'm halfway through the second book (read the first months ago) and I woke people in my house because I was laughing so hard. I've never had a book do that to me before. I'm taking my mom to see the movie on sunday. I can't wait!!!

veruca76 · #12 04-10-2001, 12:23 AM

Have any of you read the book? I read it last year and loved it. I'm actually afraid to see the movie because when you like the book - the movie is usually horrible by comparison. Also, the character in the book was a little neurotic and silly - which added to her charm and the reason readers related to her. From what I've seen of publicity for the movie they are trying to portray her as the ultimate single woman and more powerfull. That might ruin the original vision of the character. Then again, I won't know til I see it.

I loved the movie, we had a sneak preview on campus and it was so funny. I think Renee looks great, and that society places far to much emphase on body weight

Just saw BJD over the weekend...so funny! I dragged Mr. QTPie along, and he just loved it! Not just a chick flick, I tell you..Men will enjoy, too!
