If you could wear out a DVD, this one would be dead. I love this movie and it never fails to make me laugh even when I'm watching it for the 57th time. Branded, a "chick flick" I think the characters and story can and should appeal to anyone with a good sense of humor. The story is a modern-day take (tongue-in-cheek) of "Pride and Prejudice." Renee is great at Bridget and I think she pulls off the accent quite well. And I'm an "expert" since I spent a couple of years in London for grad school. I love the scene where she sings "I'm Every Woman" as she drinks, and drinks and drinks! Haven't we all been there? Poor Bridget can't do anything right, but she just keeps on going and she has a small "urban family" of friends to help get her through life since her real parents aren't much help. I have to admit I had a "thing" wth a boss once, so her relationship with her boss (Hugh Grant) feels a bit familiar, but this film takes everything over the top. It was pure genius to cast Colin Firth as Darcy, a reprise of Mr. Darcy, his role in one of the better TV productions of "Pride and Prejudice." Other favorite scenes: Hugh discovering she's wearing granny panties, the blue soup dinner party, "It's Raining Men" fight in the Greek restaurant, Bridget's a*$ in the TV show, and more!

A good "sunday afternoon on a rainy day" movie.

Having never read the book, I had no expectations going into the movie. In fact, having been dragged there, I was quite unhappy. But, I was quite surprised at how much I was able to relate to the movie. It was sharp, witty and well acted!

I was really unsure when I heard Renee was playing Bridget, but she pulls of the hapless Brit to a tee. Colin Firth is as spunky as ever and Hugh Grant pulls off a respectably underhanded rival for Bridget's affections. The dummy spit at Daniel in...

I was really unsure when I heard Renee was playing Bridget, but she pulls of the hapless Brit to a tee. Colin Firth is as spunky as ever and Hugh Grant pulls off a respectably underhanded rival for Bridget's affections. The dummy spit at Daniel in front of the Printing Office is a classic moment of film.
