      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.

      Dalton F Horrible, the movie meanders with no sense of clear story direction. The main character is supposed to be "quirky", but it comes off like she has mental disorders, and she is cringey, ots in especially poor taste how they play it tor laughs. Oh yes they play her mental disorders for laughs and they whiff every time, only one time did they get a laugh out of me and it was Ken Jongs coming to Jesus moment on the knuckle heads in the van. The most likable character is the reporter they have slated as the villain. He and Sandra bullocks character have actual chemistry and he seems to kind of appreciate her, once she lets go of Bradley cooper's character, a line of how reporter guy was trying to get them together because he thought Brad was an idiot to let her go, could have set them up with a relationship. They chekov gun the fact she's gonna end up with a man to accept her, but then just don't deliver. The sympathetic villain and her getting together in the end could have been a very good subversion of expectations. Instead they give us a generic accept your quirks and be yourself message, but underlay that with a message of she's gonna do what our message is, but likely end up all alone and that's just a really bad message that totally undermines their greater point. I sometimes wonder why we can't leave 0 star reviews, I'd say thus gets a .5/10 not a 0 because I did laugh once, but I'm still forced to give it a 10% instead of a 5% just to tell you why it's horrible. Go watch it for yourself, perhaps your feelings will be different, but remember I'm warning you it's going to not be a good movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/23 Full Review Amber W From the reviews, it is easy to think All About Steve is a bad movie but I would like give a different perspective on this flim, one of my favorite movies. It is clear that Mary is a person who is considered "different", at first she seems like the typical romcom female trope, focused too much on her work, beautiful, quirky, and of course clumsy. The movie seems to be set up to be the usual rom-com but subverts those expectations when Mary slowly stop centering men and sees her value as her own person. It's great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Wes M This is the worst movie I have ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Aja L This movie is too painful to watch. I am utterly surprised that Sandra Bullock read the script and continued on with the filming of this movie. I was wondering why it did not ring a bell when I saw it appear on HBO max. I will just say watch anything else. This movie was terrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review Test T I just don't know what the critics are thinking. This movie is really funny. Mary is such a great character, with so much energy you just gotta love watching her as she chases down her dream date. There is never a dull moment either, as the story develops at a pace, following a chain of major breaking news events around the US. The comedy is good too, with lots of satire flowing from the wacky situations they encounter. I particularly enjoyed the truck driver and the leggers and anti-leggers at the hospital. This is a good movie, with lots of originality and it really deserves a better review rating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Emma W I think it's a heartwarming loveable movie , I don't understand people's beef with it. It's also hilarious Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      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 May 28, 2013 Full Review Ella Taylor NPR 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? May 28, 2013 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Kooky? Hardly. Cringing? Most assuredly. Rated: 1/5 May 28, 2013 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Destined to disappoint even the most diehard of Bullock fans. Rated: .5/4.0 Sep 1, 2020 Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Times Even talented and preternaturally attractive people can't entirely engross us without the help of a good script. Rated: 2/4 Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) All About Steve may be a harmless escapade, but sitting through it proves to be a painful experience.
