sad

after much anticipation, i was only left with disappointment. all i can say is this: hellen why did you let them rewrite the edge of reason? i read both books shortly after the first bridget jones came out, and to say that this movie is suppose to be The Edge of Reason is selling the book short. the movie has nothing to do with the book other than having the same characters. i just find it sad, that no one will get the chance to truly love this story as much as me due to this movie. if anyone wants to really get to know what bridget is about, they should read both of the books. maybe someday we will be able to get someone who likes her for the way she truly is, instead of what they believe she should be.
