All About Steve (2009)

It was a strange year for extremes, Jeff Bridges won the Oscar for Crazy Heart, but was also in The Men Who Stare at Goats. Meryl Streep had numerous nominations for Julie & Julia, but was also in It's Complicated. Sandra Bullock was in The Blind Side & The Proposal, while Bradley Cooper was in The Hangover, yet they both starred in this train wreck.

Bullock is now the first person to win the Oscar and the Razzie in the same year. The Razzie is the award for the "Worst" of the year, and this film that she also directed was dubbed with this honor. Bullock had fun with it though, and like Tom Green was actually there to accept the award, she is one of the few that actually show up to the ceremony, and she brought copies of this movie for the audience, sure that they didn't actually watch it and were basing their decisions on other critics opinions.

Well Sandra I watched your movie. I actually thought you directed this yourself, but the no name director Phil Traill was just as bad. The film is about Mary the crossword puzzle maker for the local paper. She is strange, lives at home, is in her 30's, and completely delusional. Bradley Cooper works for the local news station as a cameraman and they are set up on a blind date.

Mary gets obsessed with Steve and basically starts to stalk him. The plot line is bad. Mary is incredibly annoying. Steve is kind of a jerk. The film is just not funny, and painful to watch. DJ Qualls (from Road Trip) makes it feel like the movie is turning into a "Road Trip 2," which is even more ironic since that was a Tom Green file... another Razzie winner!

Jason Jones from The Daily Show, and Thomas Haden Church were the only redeeming qualities of this film which kept it from being a 1 or a 2. Church plays the news reporter trying to become an Anchorman and the way he keep Mary chasing Steve is pretty funny. Jones is the rival reporter and in a very minor role, his acting isn't that great, but he is a funny familiar face and I like his style of comedy.

This movie was just crap and Razzie worthy.

Vote: 3/10
