I love this movie starring the late Brittany Murphy. Little Black Book was a romantic and true movie to watch. I bought the DVD of this movie and I watched it with my family and friends. We all loved it! Some of the movie clips were hilarious to watch. I loved the part in the film where she got nervous and broke the fax machine with her baseball bat. That part was hilarious to watch! This is one of my top favorite movies. The acting was good and this movie had a comedic and funny approach to it. It shows us that life can sometimes be a bit strange but we just go with the flow. I would recommend this movie to anybody who appreciates a bit of reality and a bit of comedy in between.

This is for sure a chick flick movie. And it might not even appeal to the demographic.In short, the movie is about a girl from New Jersey that starts dating this guy that she thinks is perfect, and starts to find out pieces of his dating background and starts to become obsessed with finding the answers, fueled by her new co-worker and friend that is a little mentally unbalanced (in my opinion).I personally love this movie. It teaches a good relationship lesson and most of the characters are relatable. It's one of those movies that has a lot of good, deep quotes. However, there is also a lot to say against this movie. A lot of people will hate Brittany Murphey's character simply because she overreacts to situations and takes things a little too far. I hated her best friends' character because of her weirdness and personal space boundaries.Girls (or even guys)- if you're going through some relationship issues, this is a good movie to watch to help put things in perspective. And some of the quotes are great ones to live by. Just keep in mind that it really isn't for everyone and to keep an open mind.

A trashy idea that had little appeal and a title that gave it less appeal. That is how I regarded this movie. However, years after it's release, I saw it on cable. As I watched it, I was surprised at where the plot wound up. Stacy (Britanny Murphy) makes a lot of mistakes, throughout the movie, and her character does many questionable things. But in the end, she displays "gut wrenching" honesty that ties the movie together. This took the plot to somewhere that romantic comedies seldom go.After Stacy's powerful gut wrenching honesty, we get an unrealistic fairy tale ending that I choose to ignore. (I pretend the movie ends after her backstage confrontation with Barb, played by Holly Hunter, or after her circumstantial meeting with a former boyfriend, Bean.) The movie did not make me laugh. But as a drama, it was good.

Saw this on FX, and as one of the posters put it, this was painful. Not just painful, but squirm-in-your-seat painful! The "payoff" is the kind of cruelty usually reserved for snuff films!The whole Carly Simon/Diane Sawyer bit was more painful. What's with this weird obsession with Working Girl, which should never be confused with Broadcast News. Holly Hunter must be wondering how she got from that to this!As far as the "plot": who keeps pictures of his exes on his Palm (and shares "joint custody" of his dog with one of them), and what does that say about his commitment to his current squeeze?By the way, what qualifies Derek as an NHL scout? Because he has a hockey stick in his apartment? Well, I happen to own the first stick Wayne Gretzky used as a pro, which - according to this stinker - qualifies me to be Commissioner! Shouldn't he actually have played hockey? And be a Canadian, eh? But, I digress.
