20 years after her big-screen debut, Renée Zellweger’s heroine in Bridget Jones’s Diary remains one of our most relatable rom-com heroines, and yet it’s hard not to wonder whether this movie would even get made today. Bridget Jones is allowed to be a rom-com protagonist who feels shame and exhibits unhealthy behaviors or thoughts -- without being villainized, pathologized, or cured. By celebrating what’s so wrong about Bridget and allowing us to laugh at her, her story encourages us to laugh at ourselves, instead of trying so hard to be right all the time. Here’s our Take on Bridget Jones’s refreshingly clumsy approach to life, and how we can harness the power of failure in our own lives.
