rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LauraRN - Bridget Jones’ Diary is the British version of Sex in the City. Of course, I’ve never seen Sex in the City, but I’m sure it would be a lot like this movie. It’s a cute romantic comedy that proves that British people do have fun once in awhile.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LauraRN - Another noteworthy movie of the Christmas rush is “What Women Want,” starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. This is a typical romantic comedy with a twist. It’s quite funny, and makes a great date movie.
