Oh goody, a convert! (if you're serious...Do you want me to shut 
up?!)  

Have you read BJD - the book?  If you have, you will probably not 
enjoy the film as much.  It is funny in places, and Colin Firth is in 
it, but in my opinion the plot changes it made are for the worse, and 
it also kind of missed the point.  I didn't like the way that 
Bridget's friends were sidelined, for instance.  The book made me 
laugh out loud in numerous places.  The film made me laugh, but I 
can't remember any particular scene which really grapped me.  And it 
was only a week ago...
