Directed by Nick Hurran, Little Black Book follows Stacy (Brittany Murphy), an associate producer of a popular daytime talk show starring Kippie Kann (Kathy Bates), as she tries to figure out the root of her boyfriend's (Ron Livingston) commitment-phobic nature. Rather than continue to fruitlessly question Derek (Livingston) regarding his slew of failed relationships, Stacy sneaks into his Palm Pilot and begins interviewing his ex-girlfriends under the pretense of gathering information for a

[O]ne of the worst romantic comedies of this or probably any other year.
It's no fun to side with Murphy's mean-spirited paranoiac, so we're soon rooting for the gynecologist to uncover a venereal disease, or for the chef to whip up some salmonella, or even for that Palm cradle to fall into the bathtub.
It's not well scripted enough or well acted enough to do much of anything, save make anyone watching really hate Brittany Murphy for being so annoying and so incredibly unlikely as a cute twenty-something Diane Sawyer wannabe.
If you think it's worth it to sit there for 97 minutes for three or possibly four laughs, then you are beyond help.
If it's hard to like the message and the characters in this movie, it's even harder to like the acting, though the casting is strong.
An awkward and aggressively unfunny film.
A romance-free, comedy-free romantic comedy.
Takes major jabs at deceptions of all kinds, from privacy issues between lovers to the ugliness of public exposure for profit that is the currency of reality TV.
Um filme pouco apreciado que, acredito, ganhará popularidade com o passar do tempo, já que é infinitamente mais inteligente e ambicioso do que sugere sua superfície.
It's virtually impossible to root for a protagonist so shamelessly duplicitous.
With digital do-it-yourself precision prying now, it may be not be how far you can go, but how much do you really want to know?
We are drilled again and again in how much we should hate all of these characters.
Sloppy, unpleasant...one book best left on the shelf.
The film is very funny and has many twists and turns as Stacy interacts with 3 ex-girlfriends.
The cinematic equivalent of chic lit -- mildly amusing, but completely forgettable once you're done with it.
I don't know why so many people on this site have said this movie was rubbish, it led me to wonder if i had watched the same film as everyone! Little black Book is one of those rare movies that really touches you. The ending is simply superb and I did not see it coming. The concluding scene was really tense but the

Watched this a few times now. I guess technically not what you would call a great movie, but so likable and I really liked how the ending showed a happy ending without a man to fix everything. Brittany singing is a little cringable at times, but that's the worst I could say about this.
