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.

Some may think this is a sweet romantic comedy with difference; others would think this is a miscalculated farce or a screwball comedy gone wrong. Whatever it is, "All About Steve" is in a nutshell about Sandra Bullock's love-struck heroine going, "I love him" (repeat three times) and "where he goes I'll follow" (three times again). Sandra Bullock`s over-the-top comic performance, which brought her a Razzie award for the "worst actress," has given another meaning to the lyrics of "I Will Follow You," a good oldie song by Little Peggy March. I didn't know this famous pop song was about stalking.
Sandra Bullock plays a forty-something crossword puzzle constructor Mary Horowitz, who meets a TV cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper) on a blind date set up by her parents. Within ten minutes of meeting Steve, Mary believes he is her true love and attempts to make love with him in a car. After making an "inspired" crossword puzzle no one can solve, she travels around the country to follow Steve, who goes on the road following a story with a reporter Hartman Hughes (Thomas Haden Church) and Angus (Ken Jeong).
"All About Steve," presumably a pun on "All About Eve," is a typical example of a messy filmmaking that would make you think, "What are they thinking?" We simply don't know what the film is all about. The story is weak. Jokes are not very funny. Its satire doesn't bite. Characters are quirky, maybe a bit too quirky. Sandra Bullock's character, always wearing red knee-high boots, appears as a charming eccentric, and soon gets downright irritating with her endless chattering. Maybe not as irritating as Roberto Benigni in his "Pinocchio," I admit, but still very close.
Perhaps the biggest problem about "All About Steve" is the heroine herself. For a comedy of this kind to succeed, the central character(s) need to be more likable. They can be eccentric as much as they like, but they have to be someone you want to spend some time with, and Mary is not among them. After all, we need someone to laugh with, not at, but despite its sweet and neat conclusion, it seems the film is tempting us to do the latter.
