i want you to understand that i watch a lot of movie and and i do toss the phrase bad movie ever around and but mostly in a joking way . but and in the case of little black book i be serious when i say that it be by far the bad movie i have ever have the horror of witness . let start with the screenplay itself . it really an intriguing idea and an innocent young woman descend into a lying and malicious person out of self doubt and the fear that her man be cheat . it not your typical regurgitate summer romance . it try to be a character study and a commentary about the self doubt that plague woman in our society and and a warning to woman in the same situation a stacy ( murphy ) . unfortunately and the movie be none of the above list thing . stacy narrate the movie and instead of accept herself for what she be and she end up plead with the audience and try to convince herself and and the audience that she be not a completely horrible person and which really undermine the whole story . murphy be not fit for this part and she come off a shallow and delivers most of the poorly write dialogue a a stupid school girl . really and the only bright spot in this movie be when stacy get what be come to her ( i laugh actually ) and holly hunter . hunter play stacy co worker barb and who be always the devil on her shoulder and egg her on to bad and bad deed . she be simply perfect for the role and be thoroughly evil . all in all and this be a complete waste of time and money and i would encourage all to not only avoid this movie but to run the other way .
