SYNOPSIS

Boxset featuring the Bridget Jones saga (original film and sequel) together with another British comedy, ABOUT A BOY.
BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY – Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a pretty and neurotic thirty-something singleton who vows to take control of her life after being humiliated by handsome, barrister, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at her parents’ New Year’s party. Determined to lose weight and cut back on vices like wine, cigarettes, and workaholic-alcoholic-misogynistic men, Bridget begins a diary to chart her progress. Unfortunately, the P.R. executive hits a snag when her boss, gorgeous cad Daniel, (Hugh Grant) instigates a sexy e-mail flirtation. Based on Helen Fielding’s international best seller.
BRIDGET JONES EDGE OF REASON – Bridget remains torn between two lovers: Daniel Cleaver, the charming womaniser, and Mark Darcy, the handsome but somewhat stern lawyer. When Bridget sets off to Thailand for a working holiday, she is unaware of the repercussions that the trip will have on her life.
ABOUT A BOY – Will Freeman, a shallow thirty-something bachelor, lives a carefree life courtesy of his deceased father’s fortune. Will is terrified of commitment and hence decides that single mothers will make the easiest romantic targets. His world is turned around when he meets Marcus, a twelve year old boy. Based on the best selling novel by Nick Hornby.
