Bullock, easing into her mid-40s with box-office mojo intact, remains the star attraction as the annoyingly endearing Mary. You simply can't imagine another actor of her stature pulling it off.

Consensus: All About Steve is an oddly creepy, sour film, featuring a heroine so desperate and peculiar that audiences may be more likely to pity than root for her.
Genre: Comedies

Reviews for All About Steve
[A] refreshingly quirky comedy.

If it didn't come from a major studio, I would think the film is a satire of romantic comedies, or at least some kind of avant-garde experiment in testing the limits of audience identification

Despite her downward-tilted head and her nattering ways, Mary really does want to connect. Watching her realize this isn't deep but it is sweet.
09/04/09
It's a sort of anti-romance romantic comedy, and though uneven, it's a lot smarter than most films in the genre.
09/04/09
Not without its good bits. Even if you have to watch some supposedly nice guys be mean to get to them.
09/04/09
A sad excuse for a film which meshes too many ideas without sticking to one, leaving Sandra Bullock once again flailing in a ridiculous role.

It’s dreadful.
09/08/09
Frantic, inane, moronic and obnoxious, All About Steve ranks among the very worst movies of the year. The decade, even.
09/03/09
There's no footing in reality. Nothing about it feels authentic: not the blathering Mary, not the lifeless secondary characters, not the bromide-happy dialogue or the plot that twists less often than it spasms.

There's no footing in reality. Nothing about it feels authentic.
09/04/09
Not just dumb, it's dopey, moronic, doltish, obtuse and thick.
09/03/09
If Bullock in her comfort zone is a thing of real, if modest pleasure, watching as she contorts herself into a role that's all wrong for her is singularly excruciating.
09/03/09
This kind of premise is touchy, cause it's that kind of humor that comes from awkwardness. It's kind of sad and a little dark. It needs to be handled just the right way, and quite frankly director Phil Traill falls flat on his face.
09/05/09
A painfully bland, vapid, irritating and consistently preposterous comedy that's low on laughs and satirical bite.
09/05/09
Although I laughed at a couple of slapstick gags, the rest of this comedy didn't seem very funny to me.
09/05/09
This surreal creation is built around one of the most maddening and borderline unbearable characters ever conceived.
09/03/09
Breath-takingly awful in every way.
09/04/09
A special sort of trainwreck that unfolds like some fever-dream mash-up of Anchorman, Mad Love, Heather Graham's Committed and a tossed-off improv sketch. A terrible movie, meriting debate only insofar as whether personal preference r
