Bridget Jones's Diary

Meet Mark Darcy, who describes Bridget: "smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish and dresses like her mother". Opening titles, singing drunk, listening to 'sad FM, easy listening for the over thirties'. In attempt to 'shape up' first stage is to lose weight, secondly bin underwear, and thirdly don't fall for workaholics, alcoholics or fuckwits. Fancies her boss who is smarmy, arrogant and handsome to some (although debateable), and begins her diary (interesting representations of a diary anyway). Bridget immediately thinks of marriage, and her friends teach her how to 'win her man', by 'looking gorgeous, totally ignore Daniel and circulate'. Ditzy and makes a fool of herself in the presentation, and Daniel takes her on a mini break which means "true love". Has found out so far that Darcy: dull, boring, and cheated with Daniel's finance.Less elegant under pressure Bridget finds Daniel cheating with American woman, and is engaged to her one day later., by which time Bridget had toughened up and leaves work declaring that she's "rather have a job wiping sadam Huessein's arse". Darcy then says that he likes her "just the way you are", and helps her prepare dinner for her birthday. Daniel turns up, unexpected and declares that he needs her, working his charm, at which point a fight kicks off with darcy and Daniel, both fighting for her. When Darcy takes it too far she sides with Daniel, who later says that if he can't get her he can't get anyone- not really a compliment. Later she finds out Daniel actually chated with Darcy's finace and then they get together, only after he finds her diary calling him dull etc, but goes to buy her a new one, while she runs to find him in her 'sexy pants'.
