Review of All About Steve (2009) by Theresa J — 27 Jul 2010

I wanted to see how bad this movie was on my own terms. Because sometimes I like some terribly reviewed movies (Stealing Harvard being one of them). Unfortunately the critics were right this time. This film is a mess.

I can't believe Sandra Bullock can put in a tremendous performance like Blind Side and be in a film like All About Steve. Of course it's not all her fault. It seems like the whole film is miscast.

Sandra has portrayed different quirky comic characters before in films. But this seems forced to me. I mean the cast is amazing with all actors you've seen who've all done better somewhere else.

D.J Qualls got another role! Even Ken Jeong can't save this film. You've got Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Wedding Crashers), Thomas Haden Church (Sideways, Wings) even Howard Hesseman as Sandra's dad.

Nothing worked in this movie. A total failure.
