Synopsis

At the start of the new year, 32-year-old Bridget decides it's time to take control of her life-and start keeping a diary. Now, the most provocative, erotic and hysterical book on her bedside table is the one she's writing. With a taste for adventure, and an opinion on every subject-from exercise to men to food to sex and everything in between-she's turning the page on a whole new life.

Bill's Comments

Karen and I both enjoyed this "British" comedy. Renee Zellweger was very good in her role as Bridget. She even developed a viable English accent for the part. I'm not a huge Hugh Grant fan, but even that couldn't keep me from chuckling my way through the movie. I think that you will like it.
