...which is literally written in the style of diary, down to the last minute—is molded into a hilarious, albeit predictable love triangle. However, in collaboration with Fielding, the writers’ increased prominence of Daniel and Darcy (even giving them a clumsy, yet satisfying fist-fight) is given at the expense of the Bridget’s quirky friends and family. First time director Sharon Maguire (Fielding’s inspiration for Shazzer) keeps the film moving at an easy pace, skillfully blending slapstick and an upbeat soundtrack into the story...
