Pamela, it appears, is a member of the ever-growing Bridget Jones Brigade, a character invented to represent a condition of modern womanhood, rather than an interesting woman herself. Australian first-time writer-director Pip Karmel alludes to the kick-in-the-pants vagaries of fate -- two roads diverging and all that. But her most compelling point seems to be that what single girls lack in stability, they make up for with much better sex, careers, and occasions to cook gourmet meals. That Griffiths sells the cliché is a tribute to her smart sparkle.
