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

Synopsis: Sandra Bullock plays eccentric crossword puzzle constructor Mary Horowitz who, after one short blind date, falls for handsome cable news cameraman Steve (Cooper). Convinced they are soul mates,... Sandra Bullock plays eccentric crossword puzzle constructor Mary Horowitz who, after one short blind date, falls for handsome cable news cameraman Steve (Cooper). Convinced they are soul mates, Mary follows Steve across the country, encouraged by the self-serving actions of news reporter Hartman Hughes (Church). Along the way, Mary befriends an endearing group of oddballs who embrace her idiosyncrasies. --© Fox [More]

I suspect that this is a film that speaks to those who believe Every Breath You Take is a love song.

[An] unwatchable, unbearably unfunny farce in which Sandra Bullock hits the lowest point of her career...

A romantic comedy so lunkheaded and ill-conceived that it makes your average, idiotic Kate Hudson-Matthew McConaughey outing look like the reincarnation of Hepburn and Grant.

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.

Amounts to one compelling character surrounded by a bunch of stuff that's not so great.

The movie is trying to show the power of words and that there is no such thing as a "normal" person. It should garner a boatload of nominations for Razzie Awards that are given to the worst movies of the year.

My biggest surprise is scanning the credits and not seeing the name Wayans or Prinze Jr. anywhere.

Bullock sells her part of the film, and Church throws in some good, hearty laughs, but ultimately, this is just an "eh."

This is easily the single worst film that Sandra Bullock has been involved with and bear in mind, I have seen "Speed 2."

With a protagonist that nobody could like, admire, or sympathize with, this is one of the worst movies I've ever had to sit through.

Which of these characters is even recognizable enough in the sphere of human existence that we might be able to think, yes, I get him/her[?]

There's not much to All About Steve but it's a part Bullock does well: the tomboy, the goofball, the cute but weird ugly duckling...

A total misfire from the first scene to the last.

Misfiring on every conceivable front, it's that rarest of comedies -- one whose stabs at humor fall painfully flat, while eliciting unintentional giggles every time the film seeks to be serious or deliver a message...

Not just dumb, it's dopey, moronic, doltish, obtuse and thick.

Since Bullock coproduced this masochistic venture, it seems she buys into the idea that fluffer-nut ditziness is what she does best. Except it isn't.

If you ever wanted to know what kind of movie plays deaf children falling into a sinkhole for laughs, look no further.

While Bullock is often cast as the kook you want to hug, here she is a nut you want to run away from.
