Product Description
After going out on one date, an eccentric crossword puzzle creator follows a news cameraman across the country to convince him that they belong togeth
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

 This hit close to home September 8, 2010
NOLA transplant (Chicago, IL USA)
An unmarried, eccentric woman falls head over heels in love with a cable news cameraman who has only a fleeting interest in her. She's obsessed with him but he's indifferent to her and cares only about his career and chasing the next big news story. She follows him around the country trying in vain to make him love her. In the end, she goes home alone.
This is the plot line of the movie All About Steve, but it also sums up the last eight years of my life. This movie hit a bit too close to home for me, but I liked it anyway.
Thomas Hayden Church's portrayal of a self-centered reporter provides great comic relief, and for anyone who is interested, the movie provides insight into what the minds of the news media folks and what drives them from story to story.
This movie isn't Shakespeare, but neither is it as bad as some reviews would indicate. Give it a chance.

Oh my how awful this movie was, I was cringing from start to finish, Sandra acted like she was in a 60's beach movie and it made this a total wipeout.
For those who thought Speed 2 was oscar material, all others beware.
 Mediocre movie but Ms. Bullock is brilliant August 17, 2010
HB (Fort Mill, SC)
From a strictly objective standpoint, this movie is pretty terrible. However, I found Sandra Bullock to be so funny playing a certified nut case, I really enjoyed the movie. I think she has the ability to be the next Lucille Ball. Her physical comedy in this movie is simply sensational and many of the secondary roles are also brilliantly performed. However, I did not like the ending. I thought it was way too abrupt. With a better director and much better writers, this could have been a great movie given Ms. Bullock's performance and the originality of the story. It is a real shame. I hope Ms. Bullock is given more comedic roles. She has the talent, no doubt about it.
 Buy it! Get it! August 11, 2010

Just DO IT! This movie is for anyone who has either been a nerd, or still is! Humor, and love. It has it all! This is a MUST for your "feel good" collection! :)
