First-time director Sharon Maguire brings to Hollywood Helen Fielding’s popular novel Bridget Jones’s Diary. Supposedly, fans of the novel questioned the casting of Texan Renée Zellweger as too thin and glamorous for Bridget Jones. Though I refuse to participate in the coverage of star weight fluctuations, suffice it to say that Zellweger as Jones successfully avoids being "too posh," appearing consistently with unkempt hair, spodgy complexion, and often a ciggie dangling out of her mouth.
