All we want is what women have wanted for eons: to find a reasonably nice guy and have a reasonably happy life. What ... what was your great line about dying alone and being found three weeks later half-eaten by an Alsatian? I really, really loved it when you said that! I have that same fear all the time, and judging from our mutual fan clubs, I'd bet that a lot of other single women feel exactly the same way.
Michiko Kakutani on The New York Times People will be passing around copies of 'Bridget Jones's Diary' for a reason: it captures neatly the way modern women teeter between 'I am woman' independence and a pathetic girlie desire to be all things to all men.
Elizabeth Gleick on The New York Times O.K., James Joyce it may not be, but show me the woman to whom this sort of stream-of-consciousness, self-assessing mental clutter is unfamiliar and I'll show you the person who will not think 'Bridget Jones's Diary' is both completely hilarious and spot on.
