People slagging this film off is really doing my head in!

I've seen it three times, and still say (which i never say?!?!?) that it is better than the first one!

people keep saying that Mark Darcy isn't as sweet in the 2nd 1...but wasn't he an arrogant arse at the beginning of the 1st film?????

And there is no such thing as a happy ending in romance, and those people who think that life is a bed of roses after the rainbow need to wake up...this is reflected very well in this movie.

And people complaining that the characters haven't changed! take a reality check! how much have you and your friends changed in the last year? you want a film about a normal woman making it in the world and then moan when you get it! of course they're the same....its only been a year and they're the same people!

In the 1st film, everyone knows that Bridget is insecure...the dilemma with choosing the knickers for example, so why don't they want to see that now? do they think that as soon as you get a boyfriend you all of a sudden become more confident? she worked so hard to get a decent boyfriend, and had little confidence after the Cleaver incident, so of course shes going to be jealous and nervous!

Yes the chances of a normal London singleton becoming famous are slim...but what you've got to remember that this is a movie based on novel...and ITS NOT REAL!!!!!! shes the same Bridget...she looks the same, acts the same and has the same share of bad luck! and if i remember, she actually started to become famous in the 1st film...so before anyone criticizes from that angle, maybe they should watch the first film again.

score 10/10
