After seeing the first preview for this film, I wasn't sure I wanted to see it, but every preview improved, and I began anticipating it. I went to the first showing I could on the day it released because I was so hyped.
I am not a rom-com movie person at all, so I was hoping I didn't end up completely hating it. BUT, it was the right combination of rom and com. All of the actors/actresses were fantastic, Constance Wu was hilarious, and now I want to see Awkwafina in as many films as possible. Gemma Chan was also really fantastic in this. Henry Golding is nice to look at, and for it being his first acting role, he did great.
The story was quickly-paced, and it didn't feel like a two hour movie. The visuals were beautiful, and I'd definitely go see it again. It may be one of my favorite movies to come out this summer.

Lovable & heartwarming rom-com
Out of all the rom-coms out there, Bridget Jones Diary is one of my favourites. For a start Bridget herself isn’t your usual perfect rom-com lead - she’s not stick thin and drinks and smokes far too much - for me that makes Bridget all the more endearing. I think most women can relate to Bridget in some way. She’s funny, loud mouthed and not very coherent at public speaking, and can’t help but make an idiot out of herself, and this is what makes this film all the more lovable.
It’s a heartwarming story of love, not only for Bridget but for her parents too. And it’s also funny and a little on the adult side with a great soundtrack, and yes the plot is predictable but this is one of those films where it doesn’t matter. Yes we can predict what the ending will be, but it’s the getting there that matters.
It has a great cast. I’ve never been a fan of Renee Zellweger but I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing Bridget. And to have both Colin Firth and Hugh Grant as the male leads was always going to be a winner - the fight the two have us hilarious. It’s an altogether lovely, funny rom-com that despite being 17 years old (which i find so hard to believe) is still so relatable today.
I’ll be honest, I’m virtually the same age as Bridget and I actually feel like so much like Bridget right now it’s scary, some of the scenes in this are exactly how I’ve been behaving these past few months! Albeit sadly without the Mark Darcy, or even a charming, sex-pest boss....

Good Comedy / Action film
A great over the top action comedy. So much action is packed into such a short film, it never lets up. There is a good chemistry between the leads and some witty dialogue, lots of exotic locations and great stunt scenes. There is enough to keep everyone happy. A mix of True Lies, Bond, and a Rom-com. A fun lighthearted enjoyable film that has something for everyone.

Well this doesn't seem to be too popular. I can see why, I found it ok but far from great or laugh out loud funny. One that plays on the male/female relationship during an usual setting and events. Seems a popular choice of idea with The Killers, Knight and Day also out this year. However for a Rom-com The ugly truth was way better and for more action go for Knight and day.

Great lead performance by Carey Mulligan (1 more)
Great cast
Thought provoking Thriller
Just started to hear some hype about this Sky Original film, mainly due to Carey Mulligan's fine performance. A real mix of film genres from dark Rom-Com, Thriller and thought provoking drama. It will be going in one direction and quickly change course. It's entertaining and definitely carries a message a lot of people need to hear. Definitely check it out.

Funny
The first few scenes convinced me that this movie was going to be absolutely horrible. Fortunately that wasn't the case. It as actually pretty funny, but also cheesy. I liked the direction the story takes, and how it made fun of all the classic rom com moments. At times you couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous it all was. I might not be rushing to see this a second time, but I will suggest it to friends.
