Feel-Good Comedy Thru Mishap, 2008-10-13
Actually, as my title suggest, a feel good movie, yet, thru mishaps. Cute personalities, great acting, beautiful women, interesting enough story line, make this movie a hit. Take modern day talk-show TV (Think Jerry Springer); mix it up with young love, stir, bake, and you get the stuff life provides. A bit silly. A bit unrealistic. Still, a satisfying watch. Along life's journey, Brittany's character travels with the perfect plan in mind, hoping to make her life-long dreams come to fruition. Through a tremendous amount of self-made troubles, tears, betrayal, secrets, love and hate, comes panic-stricken ordeals and, still, without giving up hope, her life pans out, and delivers. I found this movie to be effective, and emotional. I loved the ending. Well worth the time to watch. Good date flick.

Waste of Time!, 2008-09-10
Brittany Murphy is cute and a decent actress. Unfortunately, this movie stinks! It was marketed as a romantic comedy, and it sure wasn't. If it was anything, it was a drama. Once more, Holly Hunter played her true self -- rude, crude, and cynical. To 'top' it all off, not once did Holly wear a blouse or a tank that didn't bear her belly. Finally, to add insult to injury, the last 10 minutes of the film treats us to a sermon on how life can't be scripted. Anyone over 20 already knows this. Anyone under 20 shouldn't watch this clap-trap.

light hearted comedy with a twist, 2007-09-23
br /little Black Book br / br /This is a Romantic Comedy with a dramatic surprise twist at the end. As the title suggests, this is where curiosity to find out what is in "his" little black book (electronic palm device) leads to jealousy, disappointment, a broken heart and then the truth which sets Brittany free to achieve her life goal. What more can I say. Buy it and have some fun. It's a light hearted comedy with a twist and a theme that should make you stop and think. Possibly you will examine your own life too. br /

You'll never get this time back, so take my advice and don't do it, 2007-01-28
Brittany Murphy and Holly Hunter star in this way below mediocre "romantic comedy" about two producers at the Jerry Springer-esque Kippie Kann show. Kippie Kann (Kathy Bates) is supposedly losing viewers and they want to give the show a new twist. Accordingly, they take all sorts of new ideas for shows to make Kippie a bit less trashy. One of them: Little Black Books, or electronic ones like Palms and Blackberries. After her boyfriend lets it slip that he used to date a well-known model, Brittany Murphy's character, Stacy, takes her work home with her when he goes out of town and she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the Palm he left at home. Before you know it she's contacting all of his exes under the guise of getting them to be guests on the show, but in reality just because she can't trust her man. br / br /This movie was tedious in a way that I can't even put into words, but I think it's enough to say that the hour and a half of my life that I will never get back will be sorely missed. The plot hinges on the idea that if you're dating someone who doesn't tell you every single minute detail of his dating life before you got together, that it's okay to snoop through his belongings and use duplicity and manipulation to find out the things you want to know. It paints a dreary picture for the state of true love, and it doesn't even do so with good acting or a strong plot. In fact, the only reason I gave this movie two stars instead of one is because Gavin Rossdale has a cameo and I just don't see enough of him these days. Take my advice and stay far far away from this stinker. If you want to be depressed about the state of relationships in today's world rent Closer, at least then you'll have some good acting to enjoy with the movie's pessimistic view of love.
