Rental Movie Review - Little Black Book ***1/2
Little Black Book (2004)
Directed: Nick Hurran
Written: Melissa Carter
Genre: Comedy / Romance
Main Cast:
Brittany Murphy .... Stacy
Holly Hunter .... Barb
Kathy Bates .... Kippie Kann
Ron Livingston .... Derek
Julianne Nicholson .... Joyce
I just watched Little Black Book and I must say I really enjoyed seeing it. I like Brittany Murphy, yes I'll admit to that. She just seems to have the fun free spirit that reflects on camera. I had seen the trailers but figured it to be just another romance comedy chick flick, so I waited for it to come out on DVD. This wasn't the case, I think men would really enjoy seeing this movie as well. It has a nice twist and pace that can be appreciated by both sexes. What guy hasn't had a snooping girl friend look through his stuff?
Oops, I really don't want to give away any details this time for this movie. Don't read anything about it! Don't even read the little paragraph behind the rental box, just watch it. If you really must just read the plot line below. The movie is light but entertaining. Like many films, most of what you see can't really happen in real life. Don't expect a factual story to tie up the loose ends. For instance, I'm not sold on Ron Livingston for the Derek character. He performs well, but a better casting call would have fit for someone who dated very beautiful professional women. The point is I had fun watching this movie, and I hope you will too. Tell me if you agree after watching it.
Plot Summary - courtesy of the Internet Movie Database
Stacy Holt (Murphy), an associate producer for a daytime talk show, is confounded by her boyfriend Derek's (Livingston) unwillingness to talk about his previous relationships. Egged on by her co-worker Barb (Hunter), Stacy sneaks a look at his Palm Pilot, scores the names and numbers of his exes, and sets up interviews with them -- all in an effort to get closer to her man. Her plan starts to unravel, however, when she becomes friends with one of the women.
