Everything seems to be falling into place for Stacy (Brittany Murphy). She's just landed a job as associate producer on Kippie Kann Do!, a local syndicated talk show, and she's now one step closer to realizing her dream of working with Diane Sawyer. Also, she's pretty sure that her beau Derek (Ron Livingston) is "the one," but she can't understand why he's commitment-phobic. Then a staffer on her show pitches an idea about how electronic "little black books" can be used to see if your mate is keeping secrets from you. Stacy's discovery that Derek failed to divulge a past relationship makes her wonder what else he might be hiding. With the help of an older, more experienced associate producer, Barb (Holly Hunter), Stacy begins to use Derek's Palm Pilot to investigate his exes. But when she develops a friendship with one of the women, Stacy begins to question not only what she has done, but also what she really wants. In the long run, Stacy gets much more than she bargained for as this slightly dark comedy takes some unexpected turns. Directed by Nick Hurran, the film features a soundtrack of classic Carly Simon tunes. Kathy Bates plays Kippie Kann. [More]

Reviews for Little Black Book
It's virtually impossible to root for a protagonist so shamelessly duplicitous.
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.
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.
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.
Focus on the excellent performances by Holly Hunter and Julianne Nicholson, the primary reasons this mean-spirited comedy can be tolerated at all.
[O]ne of the worst romantic comedies of this or probably any other year.
Promoted and apparently conceived as a romantic comedy, the film is neither very comedic, nor even slightly romantic.
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.
Little Black Book has more in common with Sweet Smell of Success than When Harry Met Sally.
The first and last quarters show real ambition. It’s the middle hour that’s a drag.
