Critics Consensus

All About Steve is an oddly creepy, sour film, featuring a heroine so desperate and peculiar that audiences may be more likely to pity than root for her.

Simon Braund

Empire Magazine

On paper, a crazy romcom starring Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper could only be a good thing. Wrong.

Rated: 1/5

All About Steve is a messy assemblage of clumsy sight gags, winking reaction shots and disingenuous populist genuflection to the idea that there's no such thing as normal. We all see a little bit of Mary in ourselves, don't we? Don't we?

Kooky? Hardly. Cringing? Most assuredly.

Destined to disappoint even the most diehard of Bullock fans.

Even talented and preternaturally attractive people can't entirely engross us without the help of a good script.

All About Steve may be a harmless escapade, but sitting through it proves to be a painful experience.

Insane, stupid and cheesy plot makes this film one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I have never seen a worse movie with Sandra Bullock. She might needed a really sh.t one, because she is too fabulous. This is a terrible catastrophe

Conceptually hilarious plot about the moral of being okay to not be normal, this comedy reigns cheesy but star studded.

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, a história é mais ou menos, os personagens são bacanas, mas algumas cenas sao boas e outras fracas, a atuação da Sandra Bullock é ruim, e foi merecido o ptemio de pior atriz do ano, o final deu uma leve salvada, quando Mary ficou trancado no buraco e resgatou a criança que ninguém sabia que estava lá, com tudo isso, eu meio que recomendo esse filme.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

This movie has gotten a lot of pans. They missed the point. It was all just fun - silly fun. I'm so glad I hadn't read the reviews before seeing it because it was silly, delightful fun. Soap bubbles. Just fun. Don't expect deep insights though there are a couple, but that's not the point. It's just fun. Like cotton candy at a fair, or hot fresh pretzels from a street vendor. They don't even pretend to be nutritious, but they are delicious and fun. Have fun.

Essa maluca da Sandra Bullock me soa tão familiar, eu super amei as roupinhas dela, me identifiquei tanto, como pode ter sido indicado a cinco prêmios Framboesa de Ouro em 2010 (Bullock uma das poucas artistas a ganhar Oscar e Framboesa de Ouro no mesmo ano), que injustiça, um filme tão delicioso e divertido de acompanhar, a segunda metade um tanto cansativo, extravagante, exagerado, excêntrico, mas exuberante e diferente, adorável… Tão absurdo quanto divertido, tão eu...
