Bridget 2 seemed to have no substance to me at all, so much so that I can't even remember it properly now even though I saw it at the movies. From memory it just seemed another part of the hollywood money making machine rather than an attempt at a good film.

From memory it just seemed another part of the hollywood money making machine rather than an attempt at a good film. It does feel more of a commercial effort than a faithful adaptation. But seeing as it doesn't really adapt the 2nd book at all, that's a fair assumption to make.

In the book it's 129 lbs. I think that in the movie Renee Zellweger looked heavier than 136 lbs. That's under my weight by a little and I'm not that size.

I remember reading that they fit her into clothes that were too small to make her look more fat. Also, she has such a small frame that it makes sense she would look really fat at 136 lbs!

I guess that's true. She is petite, so she could look larger at that weight.

The second one is even better if you've read Jane Austen's Persuasion before
