All About Steve--a Movie Review


If
one movie could sink a career than "All About Steve" would sink Sandra
Bullock's (not to mention Bradley Cooper and Thomas Harden Church) but,
luckily, she has already had a medium hit this summer in "The Proposal".

While
Sandra can play cute, clumsy, winsome and comedy, very well, as she has
done but has also played smart and more than competent in a few dramas
the past couple of years. In this movie she has to play a smart 'dumb
blonde'--and let's not even get into the hair, hair color and atrocious
clothes she has to wear let alone not allowed any dignity.

Whether the choices she made were made by her (as star and producer of the movie) or by the director, Phil Traill,
many of them wrong. For many, like me, who would come to see the movie
just because she was in it will be, like me, disappointed.

Sandra
isn't the only problem with this movie for what is suppose to be a
romantic comedy. There is very little romance and almost zilch comedy.
There is more chemistry between Bradly Cooper and Thomas Harden
Church--now that would have made for an interesting film!!! LOL By the way in many scenes Bradly Cooper looks more like Ralph Feines brother than his brother Joseph does!!!

I
can very easily suspend reason and logic when it comes to films but
when something stands out like a sore thumb it really annoys me. There
is a minor couple--the woman had a third leg cut off--no, not worth
going to the movie to find out about it--that shows up every where
without an explanation! Another couple who are there to help her--I
think played by Katy Mixon and DJ Qualls--have reasons to show up where ever she is.

It's
time for Sandra Bullock to give up the character she has played in so
many movies, and played well, and play smarter woman who aren't defined
by the man she has or doesn't have, wants and doesn't gets or does get.

This one movie won't wreck her or any of the other actor's careers but they can't afford too many of these on their resumes.
