Bridget has to be the most relatable character ever created, especially for women.

@val-schaeffer1117

and for men

@laminage

I know right. I wonder what Celine Dion thought of this scene as well as Eric Carmen who wrote the Song. Also another person who was good at imitating Celine Dion was UK Soap Actress Emma Atkins who sang like Celine. She has a terrific sense of Humour when she bought the lady who "imitated" her on Saturday Night Life to one of her shows.

I remember watching this as a kid thinking this wasn't possible..like it had to get better, now the only unrealistic part of this movie is Bridget being able to afford her flat in Central London on a secretary's wage ๐Ÿคฃ

@jessicabhatnagar9405

She wasnโ€™t a secretary though? She was working in publishing but could be well paid as itโ€™s London and she has a university degree.

@itsmagdalenaaa

This was 2001, mind you. Even things were more affordable for the average person back then. Plus she was working in publishing

@tariqlear5172

It would have to be very well paid!@@jessicabhatnagar9405
