All About Steve

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!

Reading some critics' reviews, and the online IMDb votes, I was expecting a really bad movie. I was shocked to find not only a NOT bad movie. and not only an "OK" movie, but what, for me, was a really great movie! Of course I am a solid Sandra Bullock fan. I thought this movie took some interesting elements (Thomas Hayden Church's characters, for example, are usually so smarmy and sleazy they are unpleasant to see, especially given that he is such a good actor, he pulls the worst out of his characters), and played them together very well.

Fortunately, we don't all admire or like the same things in the opposite sex. What many often cluck over in celebrity ladies often leaves me cold, feeling as if I had brushed up against a self-absorbed block of ice. Bullock's on-screen persona is always a warm, earthy, personable sort. Matey. Chummy. It's the films, of course, so her traits are artificially heightened, but I LIKE those kinds of women in the real world. From all that I hear and have seen over the years, Bullock seems to be the real deal--- her on-screen persona is not terribly far from her real life personality. Whatever... but the point is that she brings a loveliness and kindness to her roles that I enjoy.

The critics have been unfairly beating up on this movie, I think. Granted, it's a rom-com, and a bit silly, but if I wanted hard-core reality, or gritty tragedy, I'd watch the news, or "Schindler's List" or something. I'd stay home and stare at my friends, or in the mirror, for free. I want to be delighted and uplifted at the cinema, and this film did exactly that. Hurray for Sandra Bullock and the "All About Steve" production team!

'All about Steve' may not be a favourite for many but I found it to be laugh out loud hilarious. There are inconsistencies concerning the story, sometimes the film loses focus and the ending is a little choppy but for me it was the very funny dialogues and performances by the actors that made this film laughable. I also liked the characters. Sandra Bullock is easily one of the best actresses today even though she remains underrated. As annoying as her character Mary might be, there is something likable about her, an innocence and intelligence that made it impossible for me to dislike her. What Bullock excellently demonstrates is that Mary is a very brainy person but she is socially handicapped and consequently people don't give themselves the opportunity to see a lovable, kind and caring side of her personality. Bullock is further brilliantly supported by Bradley Cooper, Ken Jeong, Katey Mixon and Thomas Haden Church (this guy should be in more movies). 'All About Steve' is all about laughing. There were so many moments that had me laughing hysterically that I would suggest that one ought to just enjoy the film without expecting too much of anything else.

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.
