I’m thinking to see it. I’m involved in brainy stuff quite a lot so relaxing for me means watching absolute rubbish.

I went to see this with my granddaughter and her Mum on Sunday. I didn't expect it to be a masterpiece - just a bit of fun. I enjoyed Bridget Jones's Diary but can't recall if I saw any of the sequels.

Mad about the Boy had received some good reviews and there was a great deal of hype about it so perhaps I should have been forewarned.

In my opinion, it was absolute rubbish. Renee Zellweger might have thought she was being sweet and charming but she was just really irritating - everything she did - from the way she walked to the silly little girl's voice drove me mad. The plot was ridiculous, and most of the characters over-acted. I was so glad when the film finished. My granddaughter and her Mum were bored too.

Has anyone else seen it?
