Negative Positive
Title: Simply awful.
Review: I understand standing up for Sandra Bullock. She's a great actress who has starred in several great movies. All About Steve is not one of them. It's simply awful from beginning to end. Bullock's portrayal of a neurotic crossword puzzle author is painfully obnoxious. There's really nothing redeeming about the character she plays. We're avid movie watchers, and we rarely encounter a movie that loses our attention to the point of either stopping the movie or engaging in other activities while watching. All About Steve happens to be one of those movies. We reluctantly watched it in its entirety, but it's fair to write that Bullock squandered the goodwill from audiences she regained with her performance in The Proposal.
