Synopsis
"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity"
— Stacy Holt (Brittany Murphy)
From Revolution Studios comes a dark comedy about new boyfriends, ex-girlfriends and little black books.
In LITTLE BLACK BOOK, Stacy Holt (Brittany Murphy), an associate producer for daytime talk show hostess Kippie Kann (Kathy Bates), is frustrated when her boyfriend Derek (Ron Livingston) refuses to discuss his past relationships. With the encouragement of her co-worker Barb (Holly Hunter), she delves into his Palm to learn about his ex-girlfriends. Using the show as a ruse and Barb as her guide, Stacy interviews and befriends them, only to discover that the past, in a few instances, is rather present.
A modern day immorality tale of snooping in the electronic age, LITTLE BLACK BOOK asks the question: Have you ever been tempted to go where you shouldn't? Further, it delves into the consequences of what can happen to you when you succumb to temptation. LITTLE BLACK BOOK is directed by Nick Hurran. The screenplay is by Melissa Carter and Elisa Bell from a story by Melissa Carter.
