Often discussed as one of the early 2000s best rom-coms, Bridget Jones's Diary explores the lonely life of a woman in her early 30s. Floundering to maintain a proper relationship, Bridget Jones (Reneé Zellweger) traverses a disastrous love triangle between her egotistical boss Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), and stoic ex-neighbor Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). While the debacle causes some quirky hijinks, the comedy throughout the film never fully grasped me. The story is fun, but the characters are slightly more interesting than your everyday co-workers. Though I never felt bored, I am unsure if this will be memorable among similar, more entertaining films. As far as rom-com's go, Bridget Jones's Diary fails to break any boundaries and is little more than a cute time filler.
