Convinced that a CCN cameraman is her true love, an eccentric crossword puzzler trails him as he travels all over the country, hoping to convince him that they belong together. All About Steve stars a bunch of talented actors such as Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper and even they can't save this film from sudden death, The jokes were childish and stupid, the acting from Sandra was just as bad as it was in Speed II and as for the liners that the actors have to deliver? Horrible absolutely horrible and the story was even worse. This is a film that won razzies and makes absolute sense of why it won. Fans of both actors should skip it. (0/10)

I'm not sure of the templates of repeated form each person is comparing this film to give such poor commentary, but in my opinion if ya sit back and allow the film to just be what it is and tell it's odd story, you might enjoy it. The film shows characters we might have all met and dismissed as little odd, and if there's a slight intensity to stereotype, this is seen almost all male and female counterparts, in fact ken in this film is perhaps the only character that comes from a stable viewpoint, he even feels a little odd by contrast in the end. To me this film shows an intelligent look at different people, on the anxious to avoidant scale of what ideas of love and attraction mean to them, with almost all the main characters acting obsessive in other parts of their lives, as reflective of modern times, with a little comedic timing thrown in. No one character is completely mental, each just bumping into the other creates the story, rather than the main character's lunacy, which to my mind was just her trying to take a leap of faith, in belief in love in a cynical world, to which she is pushed as much pulled herself. If you can't see a little of yourself in this film to laugh at, I'd be surprised.. It's not a traditional rom com.

The film starts with a crossword puzzler who reads a lot and, also, talks a lot. Appearing maniac, she's always upbeat, decent and loves sharing information which is, to most people, irrelevant, nonsense, and useless.I think annoyance is the feeling everyone will have when watching the movie. This girl is paranoid, she can't shut her mouth up! But you gotta admit that she's very pure and smart. Because of what the cameraman tells her, she believes that he's sincere and keeps following him around.The story goes to an extreme when because of him, and one of his colleagues, the girl suffers from an accident. But from this moment, we've come to an awareness of how great this girl is. She deserves respect, not antipathy.This is a beautiful story, though I gotta admit the chance for her to find a boyfriend is very slim.Sandra Bullock is very clever, her action is always smooth as ever. Bradley Cooper is very handsome, ha ha.

This movie is one of the MORE INTELLIGENT ROMANTIC COMEDIES THAT DOES NOT TAKE ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY. That conscious approach of the film is both risky and refreshing in my opinion. A lot of reviewers who gave this film a bad review point to the supposed lack of plot and the great annoyance they felt for the main character Mary. Mary's overbearing attitude plays a crucial role in effectively conveying the film's message which it narrates in the end, in a form of self reflection by the protagonist. The message is this.... Will Shortz, the creator of the New York Times crossword puzzles said that "we all have an inherent need to fill empty spaces" Mary realizes towards the end of the movie that the whole obsession with Steve is driven by this need to fill a void in her life, that she like many of us, refused to recognize. We fill those holes in our otherwise happy lives with different things like work, exercising, eating, and even a passionate albeit baseless belief of a strong romantic connection with someone. Eventually, Mary realized that this internal void need not be filled with the thought of one great love, like many of the rom com movies try to feed us, but rather by the many people we meet, the old and new friendships we make, and the many stumbles we'll have as we journey through life.
