Why couldn't they get a British actress???


I couldn't stand Zellweger and her AWFUL impression of a British Accent!!! There are plenty of talented British actresses who could have played a better Bridget Jones. The whole cast was British save for her. Fielding should have had more say in the development of this film, just as Rowling did for the Harry Potter films.

Why can't all the actors in the walking dead be American? Get over it.

Only those with no valid argument pick holes in people's spelling and grammar. 

Apparently her accent was so good, the Brits thought she was British. Get over yourself. And the other commenter is spot on about "The Walking Dead."

Zellweger was excellent. Her accent was so good that Hugh Grant didn't realize she was American. You are a fool.
