Before reading the book, I had never seen the movie! So I was really excited to finally see it! Especially because my name is Bridget and when I meet someone the common response is always "ohhh Bridget Jones?" Yeah that gets old!
But anyway, I think the movie did a good job of representing the events that occured in the book. Obviously, certain things were more exaggerating in the movie to add for comical relief and dramatic effects. I think the book did a better job of showing how crazy Bridget is with her weight. In the movie, Bridget looks like a normal adult size, but in the book she is described as someone thinner. Also, I think the book does a better job of showing how bad of a "boyfriend" Daniel is. Creating a movie from a book is hard to do;however, I think it was well executed in this case.

I had seen the movie previously but i still enjoyed both. I felt they could have played up the relationship with Daniel a little more, they made it look more like a fling where in all actuality it was a relationship. But I felt that they did do a pretty good job of trying to stay book oriented!
