How Bridget Jones’s Diary Turned Weight into a Punchline
Bridget Jones’s Diary, released in 2001, follows a single woman navigating work, dating, and self-improvement. From the opening scenes, the film repeatedly flags Bridget’s body, measuring and commenting on her weight in ways that go beyond incidental detail. Her size becomes part of how the character is defined.
