Today we discuss Lucy's pick: Bridget Jones's Diary

Sassy singleton Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) makes a New Year’s resolution: get a diary, get her life together, and finally (!!!) get a proper boyfriend. The trouble is, her two main candidates are a study in bad judgement.

Bridget’s Boss/Sexy Bad Boy Daniel (Hugh Grant) makes her feel like a “wanton sex goddess.” But why does brooding, strait-laced Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) keep showing up? Will Bridget finally find the love she’s been waiting for?

2001 — written by Richard Curtis, Andrew Davies, and Helen Fielding. Based on the novel by Helen Fielding. Directed by Sharon Maguire.
