The movie, aspires to be a dewy-eyed self-help fable for ambitious young women folded into a mean-spirited satire of Jerry Springer-style reality television.

Those in search of a love story may be put off by the movie's flippant tone and lack of resolution, and those who want a comedy won't appreciate the serious detour taken by the screenplay two-thirds of the way through. It's likely that Little Black Book will briefly bob to the multiplex surface before foundering and going under. And, if that is the film's ultimate fate, I can't argue with it.

If you're moved by Murphy's boo-hooing, you should swear to see a shrink and get a life. If you think it's worth it to sit there for 97 minutes for three or possibly four laughs, then you are beyond help.

Labored, deeply unfunny, and featuring a cast that is lost under clueless direction, “Book” is an easy pass for this early August weekend. D

This is really too bad because underneath all its strangeness just for the sake of strangeness there is a core to ‘Little Black Book’ that could have made for a sharp and witty satire on the sorry state of relationships in this day and age.

In the end, Little Black Book is a cheap, uninteresting romantic comedy that is generally neither funny nor romantic.

Imagine my surprise when this Spearmint Gummy, high-concept driven, Brittany Murphy vehicle, kicked my ass.

I really wanted to be able to enjoy Little Black Book as an unconventional comedy, but I failed miserably. When there are only two or three amusing scenes in a movie, something is very wrong. Something is very, very wrong.

LITTLE BLACK BOOK succeeds as a summer popcorn flick. It’s fun without being sloppy. Yet it’s also sly in the subtle way it deals with such unpopcorny things as the price of selling out. Take it any way you like.

I hesitate to call it a "good" movie, because much of it is useless. But overall, it feels just quirky and interesting enough to recommend it, albeit lukewarmly. B- --Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com) If there is a reason to see Little Black Book, it is for the effortlessly enchanting Brittany Murphy, but that isn't quite reason enough. The majority of the picture is too misguided and dreary—and yes, needlessly impertinent—to wade through to get to the good stuff. This is one Little Black Book that should have remained closed.  --Dustin Putman (The Movie Insider) Decent comedy, enlivened by some strong performances and a commendable desire to buck a few romcom trends.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
