I really enjoyed this one and was sorry I missed it in the theater. Brittney Murphy plays Stacy Holt, a woman who starts dating a guy who she belives is Mr. Right. Then she gets a job as a producer on a talk show. While her boyfriend is out on a bussness trip, she learns he once dated a supermodel. She is upset because he never told her this before. Then she finds his Palm Pilot and through it finds out about his other ex-girlfriends, and decides to learn all about his past life.
Even though the main character does some pretty bad things in the film, we can't help but feel sorry for her. Murphy is a very charasmatic actress and I liked her alot in this film. The rest of the cast was also good, and the film has alot of funny moments. (The best, at least in my humble opinion, is when Stacy decides to investigate Dr. Rachel Keys, whom Stacy thinks is a podiatrist, by pretending to be a patient. Let's just say Keys isn't the kind of doctor Stacy thought she was.)
Anyway, this is a great film to watch with your significant other. Enjoy!

I took me awhile to see any value in this movie. The high point of the film (which I believe is unintentional) is when the main actress becomes a victim of the studio for which she works. One of her coworkers points out that the television industry can continually victimize others in talk shows, dating games, and survivor venues but how does it feel when it is turned on its very producers? Everything turns out "happily ever after" in the end but does it really? Given our current television programming mentality, we ought to ask ourselves, "What have we been reduced to?"

I can safely say, that if you saw this movie with your boyfriend/husband/someone severely paranoid, you'd probably end up single. And happy, cos if the guy was that shallow, then he wouldn't be totally worth it.
I totally loved this movie. I only really bought it for Brittany Murphy, as she's so cool, and I loved her skirt on the cover of the DVD! I want that skirt! Where's the sun?! I loved how it started off with Carly Simon's "You're So Vain", with all her songs (that was the only one I recognised) on the soundtrack, and in one scene, Brittany sings very badly. I can't believe one early reviewer mentioning this was promo for an album! Are you serious?! The girl can't sing!!! And the second song, she was clearly lip-synching along to someone else's voice. Watch out for the cute cute dog as well - so cute it needs to be said twice. He's gorgeous!!!
Only one quibble about Brittany - she seems to be shrinking before our very eyes. She was a lot more curvier in Just Married, although not overly curvacious. Now, she's turns sideways, and she could literally disappear.
The focus was also very inconsistent, it couldn't decide whether it wanted to focus on the relationship, the girl, the job, Stacey & Barb, or Ira. It also can't decide what kind of movie it is. It's a very realistic view of (American) television, and all the backstabbing etc, that goes on behind the scenes.
The finale of the movie ties up a couple of loose ends, but I was left feeling cheated by it at the end. Why wasn't there a nice happy ending? Why do they have to bring back an ex, who could become the boyfriend again, only to find out he's married to someone heavily pregnant.
Warning: this movie must not be watched by shallow guys. You'll be instantly single, or you'll never be trusted again.

I can honestly think of hundreds(if not thousands) of better ways to spend my time than watch this drivel. I fell asleep watching it and did not regret it in the least(falling asleep that is). The whole Carly Simon thing is overblown and not in the least bit funny or endearing. Didn't laugh once. Pure torture.

As much as I like Brittany Murphy, I was disappointed & thought this movie would have been better. Brittany got to sing in 2 scenes which is probably a promo for her new album that she will be releasing. Do yourself a favor a skip this one.
