Reviews for All About Steve
Despite the cringe early on there is a validation about finding your emotional and intellectual match, not just the fantasy dreamboat.
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.
Disaster is an eight letter word that aptly describes this grossly misjudged, overplayed, unfunny comedy about a hyper crossword constructor who stalks her blind date. Filled with low points worth of eye-rolling...
All About Steve is constructed as a romantic comedy, but Mary's tireless, stalker-like behavior suggests that this ought to be a horror film.
It’s baffling that some of our favourite actors would sign up for this slightly creepy, desperately unfunny twaddle. Don’t encourage them by watching it.
Mary is a memorable comic creation for all the wrong reasons: glibly written, offensively characterised and bizarrely dressed, she’s the classic screwball ditz taken to grotesque and at times unwatchable extremes.
A film that looks as if it's been through 1,001 test screenings, script drafts and reshoots, each unfunnier and more muddled than the last.
Whatever disturbed and previously untapped audience this is meant to find, it’s certainly novel.
Director Phil Traill and screenwriter Kim Barker should take some credit for attempting something original, but ultimately what they come up with is an ensemble cast of non-entities and the overriding feeling that they're exploiting the lead character.
A handful of wry TV news graphics provide welcome amusement, but Bullock has never been worse and the rest of the cast are left to solve the puzzle of their own presence.
Romcom? Send-up? Romcom send-up? No one seems to know, least of all director Phil Traill, whose failure to deliver a consistent tone – or, y’know, any laughs – leaves his capable cast hung out to dry.
The film is such a misjudged farrago that it makes Miss Congeniality seem like a masterpiece.
Sandra Bullock turns in an excruciatingly kooky performance in this ill-conceived stalker romance.
This weirdly unfunny comedy is like Clint Eastwood's Play Misty For Me seen through the eyes of the stalker, and played unsuccessfully for laughs.
A witty satire on TV news? No. An inspiring lesson about following your heart? Nope. The worst comedy you'll see all year? Oh yes.
