Bridget Jones's Diary Blu-ray

Bridget Jones. She's the 1990s British everywoman: single, weight-obsessed, and very probably drunk on mid-price white wine. Her life goes from middling to worse when she embarks on a doomed affair with silver-tongued boss Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). In the background lurks a literal Mr Darcy (Colin Firth), a seemingly cold lawyer who keeps crossing Bridget's path but whose precise intentions seem hard for her to divine. All the while Bridget records her lurches across life's highway in the eponymous diary, as an attempt to take control of her tragi-comic life.

The book that struck a chord with millions of single women became one of the highest grossing UK films of all time. Its engaging heroine (Renee Zellweger, who received a surprise Oscar nomination for the role), Richard Curtis's reassuringly predictable script and a clutch of slushy romantic scenes made this the date movie of its year.
