Product Description
THIS OFF-THE-WALL COMEDY ABOUT A BLIND DATE GONE HILARIOUSLY WRONG. WHEN ECCENTRIC, BUT LOVABLE, MARY GETS SET UP WITH STEVE, A NEWS CHANNEL CAMERAMAN, SHE FALLS HARD. HE DOES NOT. MARY DECIDES TO FOLLOW STEVE ON A CROSS-COUNTRY HUNT FOR BREAKING NEWS AND SOON FINDS HERSELF ENTANGLED IN THE STORY.
Amazon.com
A hunky TV news cameraman named Steve (Bradley Cooper, hot off of surprise hit The Hangover) gets stalked by a lonely crossword puzzle creator named Mary (Sandra Bullock, in a career resurgence after The Proposal) in the comedy All About Steve. Although only one screenwriter is credited, All About Steve feels like it's been clumsily patched together from a dozen different versions of itself. The story makes no sense and there's very little that resembles recognizable human behavior...and yet, for that very reason, the movie exerts a perverse fascination. Some parts are actually funny--Thomas Haden Church (Sideways), as a reporter hungry for an anchor position, unleashes arias of manipulative babble--but most of the movie is just baffling. The filmmakers seem to think they're sending a heartwarming message about embracing yourself, no matter how out of the mainstream you may be. Unfortunately, all of the "quirky" people come across as brain-damaged because they're not really people, they're emblems of "uniqueness." Mary is meant to be endearingly eccentric, yet her social ineptness verges on schizophrenia or severe autism. At every turn, All About Steve unintentionally reminds the viewer that someone wrote this, that someone thought this bit of behavior or this turn of phrase would somehow make us like this character or find them charming. Unfortunately, that someone was very, very off the mark. The result--seeing the bald intentions under the failed result--is a jarring yet oddly compelling experience. Also featuring DJ Qualls (Hustle & Flow) and Katy Mixon (Eastbound & Down). --Bret Fetzer

 Dunno why all the hate February 7, 2010
Patrick (Wisconsin, USA)
I heard all the negative reviews. Critics absolutely hated this movie. So I went in expecting the worse and was actually really surprised. I thought it was really funny and, at times, hilarious.
Great story about being different February 5, 2010
B. King
This movie is a lot of fun! The story really gets to the heart of what it feels like to be yourself and to be different from what society expects. The main character, Mary, played wonderfully by Sandra Bullock, dresses to make herself feel good, has a lisp and is very awkward in "normal" social situations. She is always seemingly happy with herself, while at the same time it's apparent that she wants to 'fit in' although having no idea how to do that. She only knows how to be herself.
As Mary misreads what Steve (played by Bradley Cooper) wants with her and sets forth on her venture to be with him, she encounters many other people along the way that help her to see that perhaps she is not so different after all. This movie starts out a little slowly as Mary's character is developed but the further you get into the story the more invested you become in wanting something good to come for Mary!! Sandra Bullock's portrayal of Mary in All About Steve is so complete that you'll forget it's the same actress from The Blind Side and The Proposal ... all three of which were released one right after the other in 2009. The Blind Side will hopefully win her an Oscar but All About Steve's Mary is actually the more memorable and relatable character.
 Funny, light hearted movie!! January 31, 2010

C. Elliott (London, Ontario, CA)
All About Steve, starts off a bit slow and silly, but it takes on a more serious side and just keeps getting better.
Loved it! January 30, 2010
Elizabeth J. Corson (Plumtree, NC)
We just watched this movie and loved it. It was really funny. I enjoyed seeing Sandra Bullock in a quirky role. She really can pull anything off.
