Critics Consensus

An obnoxious, awkward mix of romantic comedy and reality show satire.

A romance-free, comedy-free romantic comedy.

It's virtually impossible to root for a protagonist so shamelessly duplicitous.

I just have managed to develop a hatred for all things involving Murphy, and this almost made me develop a hatred for Carly Simon.

Um filme pouco apreciado que, acredito, ganhar popularidade com o passar do tempo, j que infinitamente mais inteligente e ambicioso do que sugere sua superfcie.

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

Brittany Murphy was a great talent. She is trying way too hard here because she seems to know how bad the script is.

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!

This movie needs a sequel where it's a court case and everyone involved is sued into Oblivion.
