Storyline Stacy Holt, an associate producer for a daytime talk show, is confounded by her boyfriend Derek's unwillingness to talk about his previous relationships. Egged on by her co-worker Barb, Stacy sneaks a look at his personal digital organizer, 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.

User Review
Are the people voting really watching this movie?
Rating: 7/10
All romantic comedies follow a standard formula: Boy meets girl. Boy
gets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets girl back. As the audience, we're
supposed to enjoy the How of the formula. And often times that formula
is very entertaining. Along comes this refreshing, unpredictable
"Little Black Book" that does not follow the familiar formula, yet is a
romantic comedy -- and a very well made one, I think -- the cumulative
vote so far is less than 5. Makes no sense to me. Here's what you get
with "Little Black Book." An intelligent script well directed. Brittany
Murphy is impressive in a very seamless performance. Julianne Nicholson
practically steals the show. Plus Josie Maran steams the whole thing
up. What else do you want? 7 out of 10
