Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
smokingsides
Overall a terrible waste. Henderson and Phillips hold a cigarette in virtually all their scenes, but essentially no inhales or exhales. Zellweger actually has a few decent-looking drags, but she still doesn't really look IRL, and her exhales are all invisible except one scene where she's talking on the phone and actually has something of a talk-exhale.
Bridget Jones's Diary
smokingsides
[Zellweger] A real disappointment. Her character 'smokes' in almost every scene, but despite all the press about her learning to smoke herbals for the role, she still doesn't come off as an IRL smoker at all. Countless instances of tiny drags and nonexistent exhales. In many scenes she even seems uncomfortable holding. A really good performance overall, but a very poor smoking performance; she fakes being British much better than she fakes being a smoker.

[Zellweger] Two pretty good drags on a cigarette near the beginning
Down with Love
smokingsides
In Down With Love there are a few note worthy scenes. 1) In one scene, at the conclusion of an innuendo phone sex (filmed split screen) between Ewan McGregor (Catcher Block) and Renee Zellweger (Barbara Novak), they both take a drag on a cigarette and exhale. Renee looked awfully cute taking that drag off of a cork-tip cigarette, and it looked like a real drag, but her exhale was a CGI effect (the smoke she exhaled was used as an editing transition to the next shot). 2) Renee Zellweger's (Barbara Novak) editor and best friend in the film, Sarah Paulson (Vikki Hiller), is a chain smoker and has many great scenes. What is great about this character is that it's a comment/throwback to the smoking and glamor that we used to get in films in the 50's/60's. Vikki Hiller is the glamorous, sucsessful independent women that these films all had, and her elevator scene early on the film is a classic. Sarah Paulson is extremely attractive and she looks IRL. She smokes cork-tips in DWL. 3) In a scene where a beat-neck party is thrown, there are many 'beat neck' actresses in the background who are smoking. A great pause and slow-mo scene for the future DVD. Makes you wonder if when casting, they asked for attractive 'smoking' extras, or if the extras were asked to smoke in the scene, regardless if they are IRL smokers or not?

Sure looks wonderful holding here, but that's all she does. Hold, hold and hold some more. A cigarette never comes close to her mouth, lit or unlit. But then again Renee is an avid non-smoker IRL. Three holding scenes total, all in the first 30 minutes.

looks very sexy with the cigrette - two holds, but no drag
The Low Life

Sedgwick performs one very good snap inhale and exhale... Most every actress in the cast smokes, especially [Melson and Smith]
