Is The Film Going To Be Over Shadowed By How Renee Looks?

I'm not her biggest fan but find she usually gives good performances in her films and have enjoyed the two previous Bridget Jones films. It does however seem that instead of focusing on the film all we are hearing is how Renee Zellweger looks! Yes she has had cosmetic surgery but to be honest she doesn't look that different and yes she is older, aren't we all?

It does seem a shame that even if the film is good it wont be given a chance as we are just hearing remarks about her face! I'm just glad i'm not a woman! lol.

Just got back from seeing it on a date, and I don't usually care about stuff like that, but it was distracting to me. The movie was funny, but I kept catching myself wondering "what the hell was she thinking?". Essentially the same reaction I have when I see Melanie Griffith.

I hate to say it, but it felt like I was looking at a different person playing Bridget. All her old friends look the same just older. It's okay and had its moments, but I won't be buying this one. And I missed Hugh Grant.(Daniel Cleaver)

Her new face was annoying me especially since everyone else looked the same

I haven't seen it yet, primarily due to the way she looks now. I love Renee, she is so talented, and loved the first two Bridget Jones movies. I will probably see this one, but with the anticipation of her looks, it will be kind of spoiled.

Perhaps I'm losing my mind, but I liked how she looked.

I'm older than her and look younger, but I'm starting to like women with some character lines on their face. I thought she was uniquely beautiful.

I think with her though, she suffers from people telling her to be too low fat, which makes women look old. When she was pregnant in the film it appeared she had gained some weight and looked young again.

I assume these people are surrounded by caustic gay dudes and crazy women, who then make them ruin their looks with a skinny obsession.

Always they look nothing alike, Sarah Jessica Parker is a great example of a woman who ruined her look by being too low fat. Sarah has a large facial bone structure and it makes her look like a witch because she has low body fat. When she was young she was plump and curvy and her face looked nice. If she gained some fat, she would look nice again. However, if you're surround by insane people who don't like women, you will defeat the very thing that makes most women pretty, which is juiciness.

She still has a very sweet and very likeable/lovable smile.
Sharon the director was there, I trusted Sharon.
As much as I like the first movie, it was because the movie was very well made, not because I believed the love story was realistic (Mark liked Bridget just as she was), I didn't mind, I liked it even though it was so unreal. With this 3rd movie, Sharon was still great but it would be hard to see 2 equally nice men like Patrick and Colin fight for Bridget. So I ended up liking Patrick as the new kid in the block (as he said in an interview) and sealed the story Mark & Bridget.

I've seen the film and to be honest I didn't see that much difference in her face, apart from obviously looking older she still looked the same except thinner!
