BJD Book and Movie!

I watched the movie of Bridget Jones's Diary a while ago so I had a good handle on how the book was going to be. With that being said I would have to say that the movie did an excellent job of how the book was written. In class, we talked numerous times about how it is hard to get the concept of a diary to come off in the movie. I believe that they did an excellent job on portraying the diary and cutting out some things in the book. I think that the movie had the same tone that the book was trying to give off as well. The biggest difference that I noticed was that Bridget's weight was severely higher in the movie than in the book. Since I saw the movie first I was expecting the weight fluctuations to not be as drastic and for Bridget to weigh more. The other thing I noticed was Bridget's mom was toned down in the movie compared to in the book. Overall, I believe that the movie was excellent and did a fantastic job of recreating how the book was intended to be.
