Domestic and Romantic Comedy series by British author Helen Fielding.Bridget Jones's Diary began as a newspaper column in The Independent in 1995, and ran on-and-off until 2006. Its earlier years were eventually collected / rewritten into two novels, one self-titled and the other subtitled The Edge of Reason. Both were eventually made into films starring Renée Zellweger in the title role. They focus primarily on Bridget's existence as a single, unwed thirty-something who is somewhat prone to exaggeration. She perceives herself as an overweight, over-aged, dependent on self-help books, alcohol and cigarettes, and generally hopeless, the type who must fight "fears of dying alone and being found three weeks later half-eaten by an Alsatian." Nonetheless, she attempts to persevere as a self-assured, satisfied "Singleton" despite being increasingly surrounded by "Smug Marrieds" who seem to have turned This Loser Is You into an artform.Naturally, this is all Played for Laughs, but the character's unexpected popularity made it clear that a lot of people could relate.Both novels are based loosely on Jane Austen works: the first on Pride and Prejudice, and the second on Persuasion. The former's influence is very direct, with Bridget as Elizabeth, publisher Daniel Cleaver as Wickham and barrister Mark Darcy as, get this, Mr. Darcy. Mark is particularly influenced by Colin Firth's portrayal of the role in the BBC's '95 film adaptation, particularly his Sexy Soaked Shirt scene which Bridget, Shazzer and Jude frequently replay on tape. This created all-new levels of fangirl-swooning when Firth agreed to reprise(?) his role as Darcy for the Bridget Jones films. (It also created all-new levels of Celebrity Paradox for the second book, in which Bridget, the character, conducts a newspaper interview with Colin Firth, the actor.) Meanwhile, an actor friend of Fielding's, Hugh Grant, was cast as Cleaver.A third novel, subtitled Mad About the Boy, was published in October 2013. A third film, Bridget Jones's Baby, was released in 2016, with Patrick Dempsey co-starring.

Daydream Surprise
 Bridget Jones / int_118a41d5
comment
Daydream Surprise: Mostly with Bridget dreaming up a scathing speech to someone who's a thorn in her side. At one point in the 1st film, Bridget is talking to Mark at the book launch party when her supervisor Perpetua demands to be introduced. Bridget introduces them to each other with thoughtful details: "Mark's a prematurely middle-aged prick with a cruel raced ex-wife. Perpetua is a fat-arse old bag who spends her time bossing me around." Then the voiceover says, "Maybe not," and we cut back to reality, where Bridget gives a much more ordinary introduction. There are a few more in the original script where Bridget dreams of mouthing off to the nosy Smug Married Woney that she'd rather be single and/or kill herself than be pregnant and married to a dull man like Cosmo like her. And another where Bridget dreams of telling Mark that marrying Natasha out of obligation and to avoid loneliness is a big mistake.

The 3rd book has Magda snark to Bridget about the state Cosmo and Woney are in: Cosmo is retiring, (not mentioned) they've let themselves go, their son went off to college, Woney is dissatisfied with Cosmo's leering at other women, and they have nothing to do except stare at one another at their designer, retro dinner table when they're not bugging Bridget about being single.

 Bridget Jones / int_126ce03c
comment
I Was Quite a Looker: Invoked for Bridget's 2012 diary entries, where Bridget had fell into this trope between the death of Mark and her current life as a Mrs. Robinson type; she also lampshades the trope when describing the appearance of Woney as letting her "lovely dark hair go gray" and being struck with a bad case of middle-age spread, she like Bridget gets her appearance back in shape further on. It was even lampshaded after Bridget got back to the weight she complained about in the last two books, with Daniel marveling at how he was afraid she wouldn't look like that again back when she was heavier.

Alone Among the Couples: The only thing worse than a smug married couple is... lots of smug married couples: Hugo and Jane, Cosmo and pregnant Woney, Alistair and Henrietta, Julia and Michael, Joanne and Paul, and Natasha Glenville dating Mark Darcy. Even when Bridget is a widow, her friends and acquaintances still act this way towards her, and ask when she's going to get married again.

Defeat Means Friendship

Defeat Means Friendship: A third book occurrence. Woney note  one of the annoying Smug Marrieds that bothered Bridget in previous books gets her own mid-life makeover due to Bridget's own speech about how middle-age is not the end of the world for women anymore and at Bridget's younger boyfriend, along with Talitha's advice about fashion and botox. Daniel, prior to Mark's death and the birth of Billy and Mabels' births, reconciled with Mark and Bridget and became a good friend and Godfather to the kids. Nicolette, after a breakdown after being called out for her Education Mama tendencies, is offered some companionship by Bridget and seems to be less prickly. Bridget's "perfect" babysitter, Chloe, after being dumped by a boyfriend for being "too perfect" receives a lot of counseling from Bridget and Daniel where they remind her she's too good for that guy.

The third book has a subplot where Bridget has put on a substantial amount of weight (through a combination of "middle-aged spread" and having had two children in the last few years) and is treated at an obesity clinic but even then, if she is average height, her weight would put her as slightly short of the medical benchmark for obesity. This was even lampshaded when the nurse that recommended the clinic to her told her that it had nothing to do with Bridget being obese, but it's an effective way for her to meet her healthy weight of nine stone six to ten stones. note 130-140 pounds for Americans.

Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date: Two couples at the same time in the first movie. Mark and Natasha are dignified and discuss their case as they are both lawyers. Bridget and Daniel have more fun. She recites John Keats' poem "To the Autumn" (Daniel specifically forbade Keats and it's a misquote), and he tries to outshout her with a dirty limerick. He then parodies the iconic "I-am-King-of-the-World" scene from Titanic (1997), and unsurprisingly falls into water. He doesn't want to be the only one wet and tries to swing the boat with Bridget as well. Prim and proper Natasha is horrified ("How childish!"), but Mark looks as if he envied them.

She Is All Grown Up: Bridget grew up from a little girl who played in her underwear in Mark's paddling pool at his birthday party into an adorable, shapely woman chasing after him in a sweater, blouse, and her panties. Mark once used to be that little boy who was bemused/annoyed at that little girl and became...Colin Firth.

Geek Physiques: Lampshaded. Daniel, in the novel, states to Bridget that Mark was a really skinny awkward teen nerd with terrible fashion sense; In the 2nd book, Bridget recalls herself as being very thin at 15 (her dieting started a year later) yet with glasses and braces, which scare off a mugger at the time. Between the both of them, they don't resemble their teen selves.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Bridget and Miranda, in the third film, sabotage a live interview to get information on a potential baby father. Not only is it All for Nothing when the interview is rescheduled at the last minute, she ends up fired for it (though not immediately, as it initially seems as if everyone forgot... until a new CEO is installed shortly afterwards.) She promptly chews out her boss then and there... and the camera focuses on her, as she only realizes she essentially napalmed any chance of working there again when she reached her home fridge and realized it was completely empty.

Leg Focus: Two film examples. Rebecca Gillies in the second film is noted for having "legs up to here" *armpit area*, not that she shows them off a lot but it's fairly obvious with her tall and thin frame. Bridget wears miniskirts and dresses that show off her "climber's legs", with the 1st film having a close up on her slim ankles and calves on her shapely frame after stepping off the scale.

Honor Before Reason: Mark and Bridget. This can perhaps be a trait they have in common with one another. Bridget Reasonable: Being able to say "No" to some of her Mother's outrageous requests and telling people that she doesn't like it when they bother her about her marital status. Honorable: Just going along with her Mother's demands and grinning and bearing it when people needle her about her love life to avoid hurting their feelings. Mark Reasonable: Telling your girlfriend that you aren't cheating on her with your assistant/colleague and that said colleague isn't into you. Honorable: This conversation.

And Now You Must Marry Me: An odd example for a romantic and situation comedy. At the Ruby Wedding, Natasha implies she begged her Mark's father not to mention the possible engagement and move to New York (Mark looked surprised that he was "engaged" to her), something Mark would feel bound by obligation to stick by. Thankfully Bridget voices her opinion.

Sexy Soaked Shirt: The first movie had a scene where Daniel was fooling around while he and Bridget were rowing their individual boats in a pond, he ends up falling into the water and the camera soon focuses on Daniel and the soaked shirt clinging to his body. The second movie has a variant with a dress, where Bridget arrives at Mark's workplace to get back together with him and two passing buses splash water on her, which end up highlighting her very round and ample assets.

In the middle of the third film, Bridget goes from having two suitors to zero, gets fired, has her card eaten by a cashpoint machine, loses her bags, and gets locked out of her apartment in the rain. Fortunately both Mark and Jack are there to get her to the hospital when her water breaks.

Happy Ending Override: Though Mark and Bridget are happily together at the end of the second film, the third film opens not only with Bridget wallowing in singledom, but Mark married to another woman, with their breakup off-screen and in the past due to what Bridget describes as emotional deficiencies on Mark's part. Presumably this is so the paternity question can occur without Bridget cheating on Mark, and the narrative quickly shoos out Mark's wife regardless.

Two-Timing with the Bestie: Daniel Cleaver tells Bridget that his friend Mark Darcy slept with his fiancé, causing the present distance between them. It turns out to be the opposite: Daniel was the one who cheated, with Darcy's wife. Bridget's perspective on Darcy completely changes once she discovers this.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Bridget Jones / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: The third film is the only one not adapted from a book (wisely stepping around Mark Darcy's death in the final novel), instead adapted from a series of columns, but does so easily, though not without some pragmatism (Notably, in the end Bridget's baby is indeed Mark's, whereas it was another man's in the columns, with Mark offering to take care of it regardless, though she turns him down and instead moves in with Daniel as more of a single mother. Presumably this would not be received well with all viewers, and the filmmakers decided on a neater ending.)

She also holds Bridget in high regard.

Casting Gag: Mark Darcy is of course meant to be Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, who was memorably played in the BBC adaptation by Colin Firth. There's also a bit in the book where Bridget has a crush on Colin Firth, and an extra scene for the second film had Bridget interviewing him for work, as per a memorable part of the second book that couldn't be used in the film because of the obvious Celebrity Paradox implications. What's more, the third film reveals that Mark's middle name is Fitzwilliam.

Adaptation Personality Change: A huge example with Rebecca Gillies. The books portrayed her as a jealous thirty-something Rich Bitch that went out of her way to press Bridget's buttons and she genuinely tried to seduce Mark. Come the film adaptations and she is merely the good-natured and brainy daughter of a wealthy man who has a close professional relationship with Mark with no carnal interest in him.

Pam expresses a sense of loneliness in her marriage and even when it comes to her relationship to her daughter and husband; her boyfriend is adapted from a con artist to merely a jerk with a spray tan that make Snooki gasp. Rebecca Gillies became a nice secretary to Mark, she is also a closeted lesbian nursing a crush on the romantically attached and heterosexual Bridget.

My Biological Clock Is Ticking: Downplayed with Bridget in the third film, who frequently comments on her own spinsterhood, looks longingly at children, and notes that all of her friends were married with children before her.

Cunning Daniel, Top Notch Barrister and Type A Mark, and Witty Tom (all played by the dark-haired Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, and James Callis) are male versions of this trope.

Lipstick-and-Load Montage: In the montage where Bridget prepares to impress her boss Daniel at the upcoming book launch, she does the following: brushes up on conversational skills, studies up on current events, shave and wax, uses a body brush, rolls up her hair, picks out a sleek black dress and weighs the options between a control-top panty and a thong before deciding on the former. The second film has a montage that includes more Fashion Hurts and the inclusions of such tropes as Of Corset Hurts in addition of a haircut that has to be ravaged by the damage done by a deluded hairdresser.

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: The plot of the third film, based on a series of columns by Fielding, revolves around this: Bridget sleeps with two men, one of them Mark Darcy (the other being Daniel in the column and Jack in the film) in a short span of time, becomes pregnant, and is unsure who the father of her baby is. In the column, the baby turns out to be Daniel's, but Mark offers to take care of the baby anyway. In the film, the child is Mark's.

Mean Boss: A few examples. The 1st film and book have Perpetua, who is said to be some arrogant woman that is in a more "slightly senior" position than Bridget and is said to be a thorn in her side; she did tell Daniel off for his treatment of Bridget. Richard Finch is a straight example, sometimes behaving lewdly around Bridget when he isn't belittling her. The third film has Alice Peabody, a young woman in charge of reinvigorating the studio, and who is rumored to fire anyone older than her. Bridget wonders who isn't older than her. She belittles Bridget and is overly aggressive in her pursuit of more interesting news, though she's shown in the end to be not so rough around the edges.

Canon Discontinuity
 Bridget Jones / int_a32334b4
comment
Canon Discontinuity: In the interim between the second and third books, Helen Fielding wrote a new version of the newspaper column; in which Bridget sleeps with both Daniel and Mark at the same time, gets pregnant, and gives birth to a son who turns out to be Daniel's. Mark offers to marry her and adopt the baby, but by the end of the story it appears she's content to be a single mother with support from Daniel. This is at odds with the third book, where Bridget married Mark and they had two children before he was killed in a landmine accident abroad. Her first-born is a son named Billy so technically, the events of the column could still have happened, but everything in the book suggests Billy was Mark's legitimate child. The third film ignores the third book and instead follows the Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe storyline from the columns, with newcomer Jack replacing Daniel as the other possible father (as Hugh Grant turned down a role in the film) and keeps both Mark and Bridget's father alive instead of keeping both of their deaths from the books. Bridget also marries Mark in the film and confirms his paternity to her child instead of choosing to be a single mother and moving in with Daniel (her child's father) as in the columns. In the third book, the movie canon seems to be woven into the book universe, with references to the the kissing scene between Bridget and Mark at the end of the 1st film and Bridget's old show being referred to as Sit Up Britain instead of the book canon Good Afternoon!.

Adaptation Dye-Job: In the movies, Bridget's portrayed by blonde Renee Zellweger, although in the first book she commented about men preferring blondes in a way that indicates she is not blonde in book canon. Pamela Jones, Bridget's mom. The first book mentions Pam being identified with red hair and the third book mentions that Woney had dark hair when she was younger; the films have them played by blonde actresses Gemma Jones and Dolly Wells. There was even some illustrated editions of the 1st two books (after the movies) where there was a brunette Bridget and Shazzer (compare to blonde film portrayals) and light haired Magda and Jude (redhead and brunette in film respectively)

My Beloved Smother: Pam Jones, can get very critical of her daughter (who guiltily tries to avoid telling her things), to the point that her husband onetime asked her leave Bridget alone when it comes to the colors she wears, the guys she dates, and her life in general. The 3rd book has Nicollette, who is a poised yet cold Foil to Bridget, is very demanding of her young (and insecure) sons putting 200% into their school and sports; she thankfully loosens up but not before a digital breakdown sometime after being called out for her parental skills.

Shadow Archetype: Perpetua and Bridget. Bridget loathes Perpetua, resenting her for being bossy because she is slightly senior to Bridget at work and is also envious of Perpetua's own self-assurance that she is desirable and competent. One example is the launch party where Bridget tries to glam up and appear to be poised, but doesn't feel like she belongs and lacks the confidence to ease into conversations with the literati, while Perpetua strides in, back straight, demanding that someone introduce her to someone in a conversation. Perpetua is also naturally more assertive than Bridget and has a special disdain for Daniel Cleaver and she is liked more by posh snobs like Mark and Natasha.

Demoted to Extra: Bridget's friends play a large role in both the books and the films. In the third film, they only appear in a couple of scenes and are more or less replaced by Miranda, Briget's younger thirtysomething coworker.

Valley Girl: Patchouli, the assistant in the first two books. She is in her early twenties and behaves in a ditzy and frivolous manner. The trope is subverted because she is more competent and nicer than her and Bridget's boss, Richard Finch.

Previously Overlooked Paramour: Bridget meets Mark Darcy, and they initially don't get along. When Bridget's romance with her boss, Daniel Cleaver sours, Bridget discovers that Mark really is her type, a considerate, romantic individual. For his part, Mark eventually realizes that he fancies Bridget as well.

Wanting Is Better Than Having: Bridget. When she reaches her goal weight in the 1st book, she's elated until she realizes her bust is smaller and her friends openly ask if she's sick, she then muses on how she's spent about 15 years getting down to said weight along with wearing clothes that disguise the size of her backside and walking backwards after sex so her partner doesn't see her backside and it's all for naught. This doesn't cure her Weight Woe.

Aerith and Bob: Lampshaded in the third book when Bridget wonders why her children, Mabel and Billy, go to school with classmates who are all called Cosmata, Thelonius, Atticus, etc. The Sloane Rangers Bridget and her friend Magda run into fall under this trope, the men have normal names like "Jeremy" and "Michael" whereas the women sometimes have silly, babyish names like "Pufti", "Mufti", and "Woney" (for Fiona).

Happily Married: The 3rd book reveals that Bridget and Mark were this trope before he died. Later she gets together with Wallacker and raises their kids together under one roof in the epilogue and she speaks very contentedly of it. There is also Aghani and Heaney from the 1st film, she's a British aid worker who is fighting (with Mark's help) to keep her Kurdish Freedom Fighter hubby from being sent back to his homeland to face execution, they are the only major married couple in the film who are totally happy and aren't Smug Marrieds, straying from one another, nagging others to get married, and leering at attractive singletons. Double-Subverted with Bridget's parents and her friends Magda and Jeremy (book canon), of course their marriages end up repaired when the offending spouse (Pam and Jeremy) figure they really love their spouse and make amends.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: In the first novel, Bridget has an older brother, Jamie, who she speaks to on the phone occasionally and who usually attends family gatherings. He is never mentioned in the subsequent novels or either of the movies, though her mother does mention something about having raised "children" in the scene where she tells Bridget that she's left her father so it's possible that Bridget isn't her only child.

Aesop Amnesia: Invoked in the second film, Edge of Reason, where Bridget lets herself be charmed by Daniel Cleaver again, only to finally learn her lesson when she finds out he ordered a hooker on the same evening they spend together. Something for Bridget and Mark who have 1. Personality clashes, mostly caused by his closed off nature. 2. Break up over said clashes. 3. Have to push themselves to reveal their feelings for one another. 4. Get back together and be romantic.

True Love Is Boring: Bridget gets together with One True Love Mark Darcy at the end of the first installment of the series, only to spend the sequel trying to keep their relationship working as conflict after conflict appears and her own friends are encouraging them to break up. The third film deals with an Downtime Downgrade Offscreen Breakup leaving Bridget single and alone while Mark marries another woman in the interim, though they do divorce as Bridget rekindles her relationship with Mark — only for it to be her turn to have a third party thrown in the mix. Which is still a better fate than Mark faces in the third book, where he was killed off before the events of the novel and Bridget alternates between reliving her grief over his death and learning to date again.

Racist Grandma: The first books (and film) have Pam with the racist part pat down with her views of the Japanese as a "cruel race" at least when regarding Mark's first wife, considers homosexuality to be laziness, and she nicknames an African Tribal man "Wellington" since she can't pronounce his real name. The 3rd book already has her as a Grandmother. Subverted in the third movie, where Pam runs for a position in the local council on a racist and homophobic "family values" platform. When threatened with losing Bridget over this (since Pam was also demonising single mothers), Pam changes her campaign to become much more inclusive and open-minded and wins.

Only Sane Woman: Bridget. She may get scatter-brained and frustrated, but one can chalk it up to all the behavior of Smug Marrieds, her co-worker's behavior, Daniel, her Mom, Una and Geoffrey, her pals (sometimes they get a turn), Richard Finch, the School Run Moms, sometimes other pals of her parents, fuckwit guys, Rebecca (in the book), and the countless dramas caused by them. Mark Darcy can may well figure into this trope. These two are match made in heaven.

Whole-Plot Reference: To Pride and Prejudice in the first book and the movie. Most characters do not correspond one-on-one; there is no Bingley and Bridget has no sisters, only an older brother who is already settled. The main thrust is the Love Triangle and the different appeals that Bridget's two suitors have on her. Persuasion is a little closer to The Edge Of Reason, with Bridget as Anne, Mark as Captain Wentworth, Rebecca as Louisa, Giles Benwick as Captain Benwick, and the Mr. Elliot subplot essentially done away with.

Cigarette of Anxiety: While Bridget smokes cigarettes recreationally, she does have them when she's stressed out and her father comments in the 2nd film that he finds a good cig to be relieving.

Composite Character: Bridget Jones' Mother takes on not only the role of Mrs. Bennet, but also... Elizabeth's sister Lydia. Meanwhile, this is inverted by dividing Wickham into two characters, one who romances Bridget and the other who absconds with Pam.

Flanderization
 Bridget Jones / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: In the first movie, Cleaver's a womaniser who shows some remorse for his ways and seems to genuinely love Bridget in spite of his promiscuous nature. In the sequel he just comes across as a narcissistic Jerkass who only wants to get into Bridget's pants and literally could not care less about anyone but himself.

Daddy DNA Test: A lot of the third movie hinges on the outcome of a DNA test that will determine whether Jack Qwant or Mark is the father of Bridget's baby. It's Mark. In the newspaper columns, a similar scenario happened involving Mark and Daniel. The baby was Daniel's but adopted by Mark.

New Year's Resolution: Bridget Jones's Diary starts with Bridget listing her resolutions. At the end, she makes an assessment of her year, and notes that she kept one of her resolutions (which she rates as a very good result).

Weight Woe
 Bridget Jones / int_e7ecdeb0
comment
Weight Woe: Bridget constantly worries about her weight. And unless she's well below average height for a white Brit, the weights she writes down are within or only slightly over the 'healthy' range. In the second novel, she strives to go down to her ideal weight, and does so... only for her friends to observe with worry that she looks unhealthy and not like herself. The third book has a subplot where Bridget has put on a substantial amount of weight (through a combination of "middle-aged spread" and having had two children in the last few years) and is treated at an obesity clinic but even then, if she is average height, her weight would put her as slightly short of the medical benchmark for obesity. This was even lampshaded when the nurse that recommended the clinic to her told her that it had nothing to do with Bridget being obese, but it's an effective way for her to meet her healthy weight of nine stone six to ten stones. note 130-140 pounds for Americans. By the third film, it was unlikely to expect Renee Zellweger to gain weight again for the role, so she keeps her Hollywood slenderness with the Hand Wave that she is finally at her ideal weight.

comment
Jerkass: Both Richards, Jude's boyfriend later ex-husband and Bridget's boss; Daniel's temporary fiancee Lara and Mark's partner Natasha. In a slightly mild (yet very annoying) example are the Smug Marrieds Cosmo and Woney who ask Bridget a lot of personal questions and make comments about her love life that she's too polite to shut down.

One-Steve Limit: Averted with anyone named Peter (Bridget's ex boyfriend, Mark's brother in Hong Kong, or a doctor Bridget dates it a few columns) and again with two Rebeccas in the books (Bridget's bitchy acquaintance and her Bourgeois Bohemian neighbor), it's even lampshaded with the latter Rebecca being called "Rebecca the Neighbor."

Then when she lost weight and got pregnant, Una remarks that she thought Bridget "got fat again".

Snow Means Love: At the end of the first film, half-dressed Bridget runs after Mark who seemingly left her when it's freezing. They're reunited, he hugs her and they kiss, it starts snowing and he covers her with his coat. In the second movie, there's a brief Call-Back when Bridget mentions the above when she wants to get together again. She says that a moment they share might be romantic even without snowing.

Romantic False Lead: Julio, Bridget's mum's lover. In the second book, Rebecca. Daniel counts as this (except in the columns) in the tradition of Pride and Prejudice, Natasha merely sets herself up as the lead in the film/novel she appears in, alas for her she fails. Jack in the third film, as a Romantic Runner-Up, as few seriously believed that Bridget would end up with him instead of Mark.

Fun with Foreign Languages: In the second movie, where Bridget's in a drugstore and tries to explain through a combination of mime and faltering German that she needs a pregnancy test. She's unable to understand the reactions of those around her, who at first think she's saying she is pregnant, and then (as her "explanation" gets stranger) that there's something psychologically wrong with her.

 Bridget Jones / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: Bridget is a very kind and amusing woman, yet as her diary and inner thoughts can attest to, she is capable of making scathing comebacks to people that offend her and a Deadpan Snarker. The movies show her not hesitating to tell Daniel off. The 3rd book has Magda snark to Bridget about the state Cosmo and Woney are in: Cosmo is retiring, (not mentioned) they've let themselves go, their son went off to college, Woney is dissatisfied with Cosmo's leering at other women, and they have nothing to do except stare at one another at their designer, retro dinner table when they're not bugging Bridget about being single.
