All About Steve

I know there are people who thought this was a dumb story line but the movie is great with wonderful clean humor. There are just not many funny comedies that are funny without the crude humor these days but this one got a lot of laughs from me because you do find these people in the real world. They are the annoying ones that we wonder why?? It's funny to have this whole array of people in the comedy that can make you laugh and cry. I saw this movie once and thought yeah it's okay. It's when you watch it a second time when you realize OMG that is hilarious. It's one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time with a feel good ending. I like the blu-ray verison with the so many extra features like deleted and alternate scenes. I know there are some scenes I wish they included in the original movie. The gag reels were great. The Hollywood Dish interview I could have lived without. The host woman was annoying and crude. I did not care for her interview style. But everything else is great on blu-ray. The red boots really shine in HD. So give the movie a try and just sit back and forget all the negative reviews. Just enjoy the movie as a movie. It's not a school project, movies are just suppose to be enjoyed and not over analyzed.

This was an unexpected joy of a movie. I thought all the actors, especially Sandra B, did a fantastic job. Mary, SB's character appears to be maybe on the spectrum of Asperger syndrome with an encyclopedia intelligence, funny/ quirky mannerisms, obsession, etc; and a knowing of self determination of who she is. Literally LOL funny. It's over the top and yet one of the most heartwarming movies I've seen. Forshadowed Spoiler: My only complaint is that when she meets the deaf girl, Mary doesn't know ASL; to the next scene, all of a sudden, she knows what the girl is signing, and then Mary signs back the word: again. When did she learn ASL, lol? But, this is really a great hearted spirited movie with the overall theme being: Stay true to You, Sparkle on & find your tribe. May we all be as true to ourselves as Mary Horowitz.

This is a movie that will, at several times, make you cringe. It has the quintessential cheesy vibes of the 2000s. The characters are not particularly likable and for the first chunk of the movie the main character, Mary, was annoying to the point of being unredeemable. I was surprised when, after awhile, I started to notice her quirks - though aggravating, had an edge that was admirable. She's the perfect example of someone very naive, maintaining an intense optimism and lack of social awareness. Repeatedly it is highlighted how she is not normal - and for awhile she wavers about continuing to be herself. But in the end, as awkward and weird and socially disruptive as she is, she decides to be herself despite all her challenges and sometimes cruel consequences of her personality. Throughout the movie you start to see her overwhelming knowledge of seemingly inconsequential facts help in the face of problems. The movie closes with the sentiment that you shouldn't change to be "normal," and accepted by the majority. You just have to find people in life that align with your level or version of "normal." I think the message of this movie is a good one - there will always be people out there that you can connect with, no matter how alone you might feel. We all have our own types of weird and too often in society we pretend and mask our quirks in favor of acceptance. That prevents us from making real, meaningful connections. You'll likely find most characters annoying and parts cringe worthy, but the movie is entertaining enough. Especially when you've been watching too many crime shows with violence or anything with heavier themes like I have. I wouldn't say there is that much "content" - there's a make out scene that indicates leading to more, but doesn't actually happen. There are some moments with sexual content, but they are brief.

I'm not going to mince words. I loved this movie!!! I get a smile across my face when I think of Sandra Bullock's character's name, Mary Magdalene Horowitz. Instead of being a bad performance this is a daring one for Bullock. Eschewing all movie star vanity she works without a net here and creates an endearingly loopy comic performance that reverberates in your subconscious. She is abetted by a terrific supporting cast notably Thomas Haden Church as a vain TV reporter and Bradley Cooper as the cameraman who is the object of her affections(obsessions?). This is classic screwball stuff that once the notoriety of the Razzie Bullock won wears off will develope a deserved cult following. This is offbeat material that neither the studios knew how to market or the reviewers knew what to make of so they slagged it off. If I would draw a parallel this flick is reminiscent of the work of the Farrelly Brothers or the makers of "Napoleon Dynamite". Regardless, see this movie and ignore the naysayers.

I read in a news link to some piece of tabloid trash that said Sandra Bullock received a Razzie for this film. I decided to watch it because she was quoted as saying what I considered to be a convincing defense for the film and her performance. A lot of people have been really hard on this movie, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. It's quirky, goofy and lighthearted, so if you watch it expecting a typical romantic comedy where "boy meets girl and they fall head over heels in love against all odds" or you are looking for some kind of life-changing message ... then I'm predicting that you'll be disappointed. All About Steve is a spoof with over the top characters who demonstrate particular personality traits to an extreme. Sandra Bullock was portrayed as a satirical version of a person with an IQ that's off the charts but appears to have very little common sense, can be annoying as hell because their brain is in overdrive most of the time, and they have no clue as to when they should simply keep their mouths shut. It's like their head is so full that they can hardly contain all of the information they have. Her character is so much like some of the total brainiacs I've known: a plethora of information (often seemingly useless until you need it), a tendency to talk incessantly, and they often don't pay much attention to what other people think of them. But those same people can are oftten very compassionate and don't intend to distance, offend or hurt others with their words or actions ... sometimes it seems like they can't help but say exactly what's on their mind regardless of the subject matter, circumstances or the company they're in. Without being too serious or losing the tongue-in-cheek aspect of the plot, the movie touches on the other side of that type of personality and the trouble those individuals might have relating to others - and vise versa. Maybe you need to have known a similar person to appreciate the humor in this movie ... or at the very least be in the mood to watch an off the wall comedy with an underlying theme that might subtly inspire you to at least consider people for who they really are or take a closer look before you casually write them off. It's a COMEDY! It's not intended to be a deep, philosophical drama. My review probably sounds defensive and overly serious for a movie that is intended to be funny and entertaining. Well, I certainly found it to be both. I can only imagine how much it sucks to have people annihilate you while you should be reveling in the victory of winning an Oscar. It just goes to show you that the price you pay for fame is living under a microscope 24/7. Give this movie a chance and hopefully you'll have a few laughs. If it's not your thing, don't write this movie off and make it sound like a failure on the part of those involved simply based on your personal taste in movies or what you typically expect from the actors that were involved.

This movie has so much going on. Yes, it's a definite comedy. Yes, it's a bit unbelievable (OK, a lot). Yes, it lampoons the way news gets "packaged." Yes, it gives hope to everyone who feels different or not normal. Above all? The actors did a fantastic job. Crazy stuff, but so well done. Bravo!

My future sister-in-law suggested this movie to me and my fiancé and though it is filled with actors we love, we found it nearly unwatchable. I say nearly because we actually watched the entire movie hoping that at some point we would understand why she said it was, “laugh-out-loud funny.” I think she either doesn’t understand humor or must be playing some kind of trick on us because the only time either of us laughed was when I told my fiancé (just now) that I was writing a bad review of it. All the characters in this movie are very odd, make completely illogical decisions, are completely selfish or desperate and the few I could care for had such small parts they were barely in the movie. While there are some sweet moments, none of them are based on anything plausible - the characters change so quickly I feel like this was written by someone with the emotional intelligence of a 12-year-old boy. While Sandra Bullock is always sweet and fun to watch on screen, her character in this film is a sad, desperate woman who for some reason hides it be being impossibly cheery. She is smart enough to ramble off endless factoids that no one wants to hear, yet is constantly being fooled by people taking advantage of her naïveté. Most of the music backing up the scenes is either overplayed, poorly chosen or just wrong. It actually made the movie harder to understand. The “humor” in the movie is uncomfortable, immature and, at times, vulgar. I’d say it would be a good movie for kids under10, but there are some very adult themes and jokes which makes it inappropriate. I’m sorry, Sandra. We really like your movies… I’m not trying to be mean, I just don’t understand what happened here. After we watched it we looked up the movie on other platforms and it has a dismal rating everywhere but Amazon. We also found out that this movie was nominated for 5 Golden Raspberries which, if anyone else reading this don’t know, are for the worst movies of the year - basically the opposite of the Oscars. I like watching simple, sweet films about different kinds of people facing challenges. I don’t mind if they’re filled with silly humor or “Dad jokes” or crazy characters. This just didn’t make sense and for most of it wasn’t funny. It’s hard to root for any of these mostly unlikeable people. So, in the end when you’re supposed to cheer for someone, anyone, you’re just relieved it’s over. If you like bad movies though, definitely check this one out.`

I love how the star of the movie is a quirky girl who doesn't at all conform to social norms. She does things her own way. She does things that genuinely makes her happy. She's constantly criticized and made fun of for her quirkiness. It isn't until the end that her quirkiness is respected and valued. Happy to see the story is about an "unusual" girl finally being rallied around and cherished. Moral of the story is: it's okay to be yourself. Be you because you matter. Don't lose yourself for others. Find others who see your star. Find others who let you shine. I love this movie. Sandra is really cute as this character. Loved it.
