Stacy's boyfriend doesn't really talk about his past relationships, so Stacy goes through her phone to search for the women he used to day and find out more about them with catastrophic results.
I started watching this film at midnight because I couldn't sleep, but I couldn't finish it until now. I chose this one because I had seen pieces of it on TV, but never truly saw the film.
First of all Little Black Book does not follow the typical pattern in romantic movies. It's more interesting to follow the film since the structure isn't the typical: a man and a woman are a couple bc of weird circumstances, and then they lose each other briefly, yet they end up together after all. Little Black Book has its own way and own pace, and that's lovely.
And this movie is so adorable and uplifting until the point it isn't. And even after that point it doesn't just wither, it actually becomes emotionally very tough, so heart-wrenching, but it's done extremely well. Brittany Murphy is excellent in this film, she is adorable, but when her character is sad, it seems plausible, you truly believe it.
Best part is how the situation the character gets herself into is something so many people in real life would accidentally get themselves into. Of course in films everything is more dramatic, but still the idea of snooping around in your boyfriend's phone when you get too curious is something several would do, even though we know it's not right.
Little Black Book is entertaining and just makes you feel good and bad. The plot is excellent. I'd recommend this movie absolutely.
