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.

Reviews for All About Steve
It’s dreadful.
09/08/09
Top CriticFrantic, inane, moronic and obnoxious, All About Steve ranks among the very worst movies of the year. The decade, even.
09/03/09
There's no footing in reality. Nothing about it feels authentic: not the blathering Mary, not the lifeless secondary characters, not the bromide-happy dialogue or the plot that twists less often than it spasms.

There's no footing in reality. Nothing about it feels authentic.
09/04/09
Not just dumb, it's dopey, moronic, doltish, obtuse and thick.
09/03/09
If Bullock in her comfort zone is a thing of real, if modest pleasure, watching as she contorts herself into a role that's all wrong for her is singularly excruciating.
09/03/09
This kind of premise is touchy, cause it's that kind of humor that comes from awkwardness. It's kind of sad and a little dark. It needs to be handled just the right way, and quite frankly director Phil Traill falls flat on his face.
09/05/09
A painfully bland, vapid, irritating and consistently preposterous comedy that's low on laughs and satirical bite.
09/05/09
Although I laughed at a couple of slapstick gags, the rest of this comedy didn't seem very funny to me.
09/05/09
This surreal creation is built around one of the most maddening and borderline unbearable characters ever conceived.
09/03/09
Breath-takingly awful in every way.
09/04/09
A special sort of trainwreck that unfolds like some fever-dream mash-up of Anchorman, Mad Love, Heather Graham's Committed and a tossed-off improv sketch. A terrible movie, meriting debate only insofar as whether personal preference r

Movies don't get much worse.
09/10/09
Four stages of Acceptance Of 2-Star Movie: 1) Embarrassed for lead character. 2) Embarrassed for actor playing lead character. 3) Admiration for movie's all-out, gawky commitment to awkward comedy. 4) Annoyance with usual rom-com schmaltz-injections.
09/11/09
Misfiring on every conceivable front, it's that rarest of comedies -- one whose stabs at humor fall painfully flat, while eliciting unintentional giggles every time the film seeks to be serious or deliver a message...
09/03/09
Top CriticHere's a scorching idea for the producers of the "Saw" franchise: a "Sandra Bullock Slapstick Comedy" death trap.
09/04/09
Easily one of the worst movies of the year (if not the decade), there is not one redeeming quality to All About Steve, an offensive film morally, socially, and to the institution of comedy.
09/04/09
An unmitigated disaster.
09/27/09
This is easily one of the worst films I've ever had to review.
