Nell Minow Common Sense Media A romance-free, comedy-free romantic comedy. Rated: 1/5 Dec 25, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Neil Smith BBC.com It's virtually impossible to root for a protagonist so shamelessly duplicitous. Rated: 2/5 Nov 2, 2004 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed I just have managed to develop a hatred for all things involving Murphy, and this almost made me develop a hatred for Carly Simon. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review Rated: 2/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena 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.

s d It's not for everyone but I really like this movie. It's an unconventional rom com and Brittany Murphy is great as always. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Brittany Murphy was a great talent. She is trying way too hard here because she seems to know how bad the script is. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Stacy F I LOVE this movie! It totally showcases the wonderful acting, creative and comedic abilities of Brittany Murphy- and features her beautiful singing voice. The entire cast is fantastic. A fun romantic comedy with unexpected twists and turns. It's an underrated gem! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/22 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I kept wait for the good part of the movie but it just never happened Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie needs a sequel where it's a court case and everyone involved is sued into Oblivion. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
