(2001) Directed by Sharon Maguire. Bridget (Renee Zellweger), is a post-feminist, thirty-something British woman who has a penchant for alcoholic binges, smoking, and an inability to control her weight. Bridget visits her parents for a Christmas party and they try to set her up with Mark (Colin Firth), the visiting son of one of their neighbours. Snubbed by Mark, she instead falls for her boss Daniel (Hugh Grant), a dashing lothario who begins to send her suggestive e-mails that soon lead to a dinner date proposition. Daniel reveals that he and Mark attended college together, during which time Mark had an affair with his fiancée. When Bridget finds Daniel cavorting with an American colleague, she decides to change her life with a new job as a TV presenter. At a dinner party, she bumps into Mark again, who expresses his affection for her; when Daniel claims he wants Bridget back, the two fight over who deserves her affection the most. [Romance | Comedy]
