"A romantic comedy without much romance and even less comedy."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
"And then, the gimmick: Stacy stumbles on Derek's Palm while he's out on the road, and don't you know, she can't help but peek."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"If there is a reason to see it, it's the effortlessly enchanting Murphy, but that isn't quite reason enough. This is one
Book
that should have remained closed."

"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."

"Instead of actually channelling Meg Ryan, Murphy's overt attempts at cuteness make her seem vaguely inebriated."
Film Blather

"This movie is definitely one you should scratch from your own little list."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
.5/5
"Little Black Book is a dismal comedy about one betrayal after another."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2/4
"The problem is that director Nick Hurran and writers Melissa Carter and Elisa Bell see this as more of a sit-com. And, in a vain attempt to get laughs, they de-humanize their characters."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2/5
"A big, funny finale can't redeem the rest of this slight, silly and hollow romantic comedy."
Netflix
James Rocchi
2.5/5
"[T]he film itself isn’t really a romantic comedy because there’s no romance in it. Rather it’s the antithesis of a romantic comedy."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr

"If she keeps this up, the number listed for Brittany Murphy in your PDA will soon need to be changed from Moviefone to a neighborhood video store."
FilmStew.com
Larry Carroll
"[A] distasteful, obnoxious, voyeuristic cesspool of human pettiness and cruelty that... thinks it’s a Deep and Meaningful exploration of the contemporary battle of the sexes."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson

"Romance-free, comedy-free, charm-free, and apparently carb-free as well, with leading ladies Murphy and Hunter looking toned but stringy and underfed."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
.5/4
"
Little Black Book
is a pointless sermon about the disastrous consequences of acting like a complete and utter moron."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
C+
"... perversely fascinating, if ultimately disappointing."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
5/10
"A shallow, futile, banal romantic comedy that even a fluffy, feel-good ending cannot retrieve."
