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.

On paper, a crazy romcom starring Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper could only be a good thing. Wrong. Go to Full Review
Ella Taylor NPR 05/28/2013
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? Go to Full Review

Steve J @javontegreen31 4d If I could give zero stars I would. Easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. See more paige S @paigeska May 20 Saw this movie for the first time, just a couple of years ago while I was scrolling on Tubi and after being a long time fan of all Sandra’s movies, I knew I had to check it out. I love it and laughed my a** off throughout the whole film. I enjoyed it so much that i went and told my Mom (long time Sandra fan as well) the very next day that she had to see it. Then just today, I found out she got a razzie for this movie??? What the heck is wrong with you people!? This was a cute and funny movie, perfect when you are having a down day and just want to laugh. Great movie and thank you everyone involved! See more Steven F @RT82092080 Apr 21 What was Sandra thinking, you read the Sypnosis & think Sandra Bullock & Bradley Cooper in a comedy about a female stalker & think this will be funny as hell, wrong! Your not entirely sure if her character is crazy, weird, freaky, you can’t nail what her character is going for, did she have little boy at home she used for inspiration, with Something about Mary (which this really feels like it’s trying to copy, a very cheap made for TV movie that fails miserably), there’s something about Mary you know Ben Stillers Character is a genuine good hearted intelligent guy who just got an unlucky break in high school, Mary is a cool, confident, hard working, good hearted female looking for true love and a real man, Sandra acts like an 8 year old little boy who’s had too much sugar, your meant to root for the character but you just pity Sandra & think it took 45 minutes to get to plot, it keeps throwing in these weird bizarre creepy dull, boring news stories that make no sense. Stay clear See more Ron T @Ron750 Feb 13 I don’t understand the hate for this movie. Or maybe I do. I grew up in the ‘60s when classes were grouped by IQ. So I know many high IQ people. They used to be considered nerdy or eccentric. Now their personalities are pathologized. Called autistic or ADHD or Aspergers. Many movies try to make us more tolerant of many different groups. But I guess it’s still cool to hate on socially awkward people with large vocabularies. I think this is a funny farce and worth watching. The actors did a good job, and it actually does a good job of skewering modern news reporting. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Feb 5 I can't decide what the worst part is here. Bullock's terrible performance or the lame unfunny humor and how just consistently flat and boring it is. The only laugh I got was when he jumped down the mine with the hose near the end. Other than that, man the humor sucks all life out of this rom com and road movie hybrid. Aside from the humor the other major strike is the plot is so dumb and ridiculous. There's so many disasters in this it's a borderline disaster movie even. It's just stupid and unfunny. There also is hardly any romance in this as well. Cooper and Worthington are probably the best things here and are just ok at best and are weighed down by subpar dialouge and terrible material. Bullocks whole character is literally she does crosswords and is a book smart street smart idiot. And is so unfunny, awkward, and cringe. Anytime it's jsut her it's terrible and unfunny. Than it jumps around cosntantly between Bullock and Cooper's news crew so much so it feels like 2 different film See more Joanna B @RT57557838 Jan 5 It may not be Sandra Bullock's best but I feel like there is some good messaging in this film. Do not chase a guy. Be yourself and never change, regardless of what people will say as there will always be a place for you. That being said, I feel like the writing was not very good as well as the directing as we all know all the actors can do much better than what they did here. See more Read all reviews
