Added DiffLines:
''Dear Diary'' is a 1996 short film starring Creator/BebeNeuwirth, directed by David Frankel (''Film/TheDevilWearsPrada'').
Annie (Neuwirth) works as a graphic designer at a fashion magazine. She's married to Tom, a lawyer, and they have two kids. Annie's life is getting stale, as she's hitting a mid-life crisis right after her 40th birthday, frustrated with a marriage that seems to be hitting the doldrums and life expectations unfulfilled. One day at work a disagreement with her boss blows up rather suddenly into an argument that gets Annie fired. Left rather stunned on the streets of New York after she leaves the building, she sees a place advertising golf lessons over lunch and enters on a whim. There she meets Fritz, a genial mall security head. She goes to Fritz's work and has an unexpected run-in with Christie, her old college roommate, who has an odd hobby.

!!Tropes:
* BigBustPride: According to Annie, Music/{{Madonna}} has this.
--> "She's very proud of her chest."
* BookEnds: There's Annie scribbing in her diary at the beginning and the end, as well as having bad sex with Tom at the start (they give up) and good sex at the end after he sees her in the LittleBlackDress.
* BuxomIsBetter: Annie's editor Griffin accuses her of this, saying "What is it with you and breasts?" when seeing the proposed Madonna cover.
* CelebrityParadox: Annie gets fired over an argument about the Music/{{Madonna}} cover on that month's magazine. Havilland Morris, who plays Christie in this short, starred as Wendy in 1987 Madonna film ''Film/WhosThatGirl''.
* ContrivedCoincidence: In a city of eight million people or so Annie runs into her old college roommate, Christie, in a store. And Christie, as it happens, knows Annie's boss Griffin.
* {{Diary}}: The hook has Annie deciding to start keeping a diary now that she's turned 40. Presumably if the show had been picked up Annie's narration would have been in every episode.
* DutchAngle: Used a lot, throughout the short, maybe to signal Annie's rather stressed life.
* HollywoodMidlifeCrisis: Annie is having one, bored with her domestic life, imagining the career she could have had as a photographer.
* ImagineSpot: Many, like when Annie imagines being hit by a truck and killed, or when Tom imagines his dream career as the owner of a trendy restaurant.
* LittleBlackDress: Annie uses these exact words when spotting said dress in the fashion store. She's surprised when Christie steals it.
* RomComJob: Lawyer? Graphic designer at a fashion magazine?
* SportsWidow: Fritz's wife is sick unto death of his obsession with golf, calling it "a disease".
* StockFootage: Used several times to illustrate Annie's stories, like when she imagines being a photographer in Africa.
* WardrobeMalfunction: Annie takes a good hard swing at a golf ball, causing her buttons to pop off her shirt and expose her bra, which all the men at the golf shop enjoy.
