thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 20 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more s d @RT73619889 01/08/2023 It's not for everyone but I really like this movie. It's an unconventional rom com and Brittany Murphy is great as always. See more steve d @RT35616104 12/25/2022 Brittany Murphy was a great talent. She is trying way too hard here because she seems to know how bad the script is. See more 04/18/2021 This is one of the more subversive entires into the romcom genre. Although the plot could be a bit convoluted at times, I really enjoyed the unexpected way everything came together. Among the stellar cast, there are strong performances from Holly Hunter and Kathy Bates, and an especially memorable performance from the great Brittany Murphy. If you're looking for a rom com that transcends the cookie cutter formula, Little Black Book is highly recommended! See more 12/30/2020 I kept wait for the good part of the movie but it just never happened See more 01/04/2020 This movie needs a sequel where it's a court case and everyone involved is sued into Oblivion.
