It's a sort of anti-romance romantic comedy, and though uneven, it's a lot smarter than most films in the genre.

Reviews for All About Steve
Oops, sorry, we're not supposed to think of Mary as mentally ill, psychologically unbalanced, or any of those painful things, just full of gumption and sunny determination.

Top CriticThere's no footing in reality. Nothing about it feels authentic.
09/04/09
A screwball comedy missing more than a few crucial screws.
09/04/09
All About Steve is offensive, absurd and pointless.
09/04/09
There's Something Pathetic About Mary
09/04/09
Despite her downward-tilted head and her nattering ways, Mary really does want to connect. Watching her realize this isn't deep but it is sweet.
09/04/09
This is easily one of the worst films I've ever had to review.
09/04/09
Clueless.

There’s nothing wrong with All About Steve that a rewrite couldn’t fix, as long as the rewrite involved a different writer, a different character and a different story.

Top CriticI was praying for the ghost of Paul Newman to save me.
09/04/09
Bullock, easing into her mid-40s with box-office mojo intact, remains the star attraction as the annoyingly endearing Mary. You simply can't imagine another actor of her stature pulling it off.
09/04/09
It seems incredible, but the grimly unfunny comedy All About Steve might just be the worst movie on Sandra Bullock’s résumé.
09/04/09
When you learn that Sandra Bullock produced as well as stars in All About Steve, you can't help wondering, "What was she thinking?"
09/04/09
He's the thing that lets Mary -- and the movie -- off the crazy hook. It quickly devolves into one of those 'what's normal anyway?' stories, and Bullock's dedication to the role is ultimately undermined.
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
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

...this is, without a doubt, one of the biggest wastes of celluloid this year.
09/04/09
Breath-takingly awful in every way.
09/04/09
Plopping a 45-year-old actress... into a role clearly intended for, at best, a 23-year-old is a bizarre way to deal with the role shortage [for older women].
