This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I can't really understand why this film only rates 5.2. I can only assume people look at the cast list and assume that so many big names should produce something magical.OK it is a mostly predictable chick-flick, and the technology has dated a bit but the premise is as tidy as you can expect. The twist at the end probably bites just a little bit too hard and maybe that is why people vote it lower than it really deserves?But take a step back and look at it without those little niggles and look at what the rest of the film is built up from:Brittany Murphy is just the right mixture of hot and crazy, the voice-over track of the inside of her head is great, and the use of the Carly Simon music to match her moods as both soundtrack and incidental music is inspired.Holly Hunter (how is she 46 when she films this, she looks about 30?!) as the friend with a twist and Kathy Bates as the Springer-style TV host are both perfection in their roles. And the unknown Kevin Sussman is fantastically lost as a caring but overwhelmed geek nearly a decade before getting his Big Bang role as Stewart the comic book store owner. The boyfriend is just enough of a cheat that we can let him go without feeling bad about it. The ex-girlfriends are believable. And it all runs back round to the Carly Simon soundtrack, and … well… you don't get Diane Sawyer as the cameo at the end!

Holly Hunter is always worth watching. But this was my first Brittany Murphy movie and I'll go out of my way not to see her again.Her bug-eyed expression, which she must think is appropriate for every scene, plus her open-mouthed pout and twitchy jerking from expression to expression make this movie almost unwatchable. She seems to think she's the next Meg Ryan -- she's not even close. I tried to enjoy the flick in spite of her; it can't be done. She awkwardly jerks through every scene.Holly Hunter is great as a more cynical version of her character in Broadcast News. Ron Livingston demonstrates the art of subtle acting, something Murphy badly needs lessons on.

For those expecting a complete chick flick, you may be disappointed.The movie started out looking very soft and light, but as it progressed, you were immersed into the lives of strong, funny and independent women. You were drawn into complex female characters, a rarity in the industry, who were neither good nor evil.I loved the movie, as it was not just about the girl getting the guy, but it examined many of the lies that we surround ourselves with. The story had many twists, with witty, and insightful looks into the lives of the women.And I loved the ending.

Determined to learn the truth about her secretive boyfriend, Derek (Ron Livingston), Stacy (Brittany Murphy) becomes a bona fide snoop in this comedy. Associate producer of Kippie Kann's (Kathy Bates) popular talk show, Stacy's dying to find out about Derek's past relationships. Helped by Barb (Holly Hunter), she gets the names of his ex-lovers and interviews them, supposedly for an upcoming show. But what she learns only adds to her confusion.This is actually my first attempt at writing a review for any film. I'm not sure why they request a minimum of ten lines of text, or if I can come up with that much to say. All I can say is that it is very difficult to understand how this movie could have such a low overall rating. The acting was, indeed excellent. It held my interest all the way through. Although I don't believe it qualifies as a "suspense", I certainly was kept wondering what would happen next! I Highly recommend viewing!
