All About Steve

I watch a lot of movies, though not when first run at theaters -- generally I'll wait until the DVD price falls. This is why I only now getting around to viewing this film that "won" Sandra Bullock her Razzie.

And I believe that the Razzie voters were mistaken. I feel that Bullock did a nice job of playing a quirky, annoying person. Surely there were plenty of performances far more deserving of this award.

Although the character could be annoying, she still seemed like someone that would also be good to have as a friend, particularly as she evolved by the end of the movie. I think that it would not be a stretch to compare Mary to PeeWee Herman in "PeeWee's Big Adventure."

It was a nice cast and I felt that all of the actors really did fine work in this fun little comedy and will be viewing it again.

I really don't know what everybody was expecting when they went to see this movie. I expected a good date movie and a fun watch. Instead I got a light hearted movie about a woman who is like the rest of us, normal in our own world but crazy to everybody else.

I really enjoyed this movie, I thought the acting was good and the plot was decent. It is a very enjoyable watch and if it is one I would advise you to see it. It has a very good core value to it. That one person kinda different or not can make a change in one persons life. I have a friend who is like this and it makes me only appreciate her personality even more, I like her the way she is..

Don't listen to everybody else, see this movie yourself, and give it a chance. You might like it.

My wife and I enjoy Sandra Bullock, and I left the movie, "All About Steve" impressed with the growth of her as an artist. I understood the character that she played, Mary Horowitz, who is socially inept, yet brilliant with words and information. In one sense her character reminded me of Temperance "Bones" Brennan of the TV show, "Bones," who is clueless about how people think of her.

So for the character, Mary, to jump Steve (Bradley Cooper) on their first date, and to stalk him with the misguided idea that he wants her to follow her, was believable to me since I have met people like that. Sandra Bullock took on a character that was innocent in her social stupidity, yet made her almost believable in her irritating behavior. I say, "almost," because she is still quite beautiful and likable. But she is no Johnny Depp yet when it comes to character acting.

We found the movie funny and quirky. I felt that they had a good ensemble cast, even though, Sandra Bullock was the center of the story. I don't believe it will ever be hugely popular though. It had the same unusual character as Will Ferrall and Emma Thompson in "Stranger Than Fiction," although no where as sophisticated as that little masterpiece.

If you like quirky comedy, this is a good movie to watch.

Is she supposed to be autistic? Are we supposed to laugh at her? That's the big problem with this movie. She's unbearable, and sad. Most of it is humiliating.

Mary Horowitz (Sandra Bullock) creates crossword puzzles for the Sacramento Herald. She's an eccentric mess unable to connect with other people. She's set up with TV news cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper) by her parents. While she falls head over heels for her, he can't run away fast enough as he's call to the next news story. She chases him all across the country.

The last section does have a little bit of fun. She finally does a few things right. But it's way too late to save this movie. It's really sad to see Sandra Bullock flail away for so few laughs.

This film is about a very knowledgeable and talkative crossword constructor, and her new found romance with a hot blind date.

"All About Steve" really does not deserve all the scathing reviews. In fact, I laughed so hard throughout the movie. There is a constant stream of funny jokes, and I particularly like the series of jokes involving the speculation of Mary's well being and intentions regarding the incident of an abandoned mine. It's just crazily funny! "All About Steve" is an unconventional romantic comedy, as it does not follow the usual formula in any aspect! It is such a refreshingly funny film, and I do not hesitate recommending it to my friends!
