Zellweger brought the accent off, [Hugh] Grant now says, but 'there was a phase at the beginning when she was a little bit like Princess Margaret... But even the most brutal British journalists, who are kind of snooty, have seen screenings in London and have had to eat humble pie. She's impeccable.' Bridget Jones's Diary is a 2001 romantic comedy film directed by Sharon Maguire and written by Richard Curtis, Andrew Davies, and Helen Fielding. A co-production of the United Kingdom, United States and France, it is based on Fielding's 1996 novel of the same name, which is a reinterpretation of Jane Austen's 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice. The adaptation stars Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones, a 32-year-old British single woman, who writes a diary which focuses on the things she wishes to happen in her life. However, her life changes when two men vie for her affection, portrayed by Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. Jim Broadbent and Gemma Jones appear in supporting roles. Production began in August 2000 and ended in November 2000, and took place largely on location in London and the home counties.

Just as they are about to kiss for the first time, Bridget flies to her bedroom to change into sexier underwear. Meanwhile, Mark peeks at her diary reads her earlier unflattering opinions of him, and leaves. Bridget, realizing what he has read and fearing she has lost him again, runs outside after him in the snow in her tigerskin-print underwear, a thin cardigan and trainers, but cannot find him. Disheartened, she is about to return home when he reappears. She apologises and he presents her with a new diary, "to make a fresh start". They kiss in the snow-covered street.

When Bridget finally settles for her man, the stoic human rights lawyer Mark “wanker” Darcy (Colin Firth, on his second Darcy in a decade) – and it’s worth noting that she does settle for him, rather than him for her – it’s the rom part of the com, the swoonworthy-ness, I suppose, that brings it all together. She hated him, and then she loved him, reindeer jumper and all, and in return, he loves her, no matter how many public appearances she flubs, no matter how blue she makes her soup.
