All About Steve
Oh, Sandra Bullock. I would love to hang out in Austin with her sometime and have a beer or two. And I have enjoyed some her films before (Miss Congeniality is not a quality film, but it is entertaining!), I think she is a pretty good comedic actress, and I admire that she produces her own works. But let's be honest. The majority of her work is silly and lacking in depth. All About Steve looks to be that kind of film. I doubt it will be terribly funny. I suspect instead it will be terribly uncomfortable to watch.
What is supposed to be appealing about this premise? Bullock plays a socially awkward woman with bad hair who becomes obsessed with a man who is not interested in her and proceeds to stalk him. Wow, that sounds like a fun 90 minutes. No thanks.

Extract
I'm a fan of Jason Bateman and Mike Judge. I like a lot of their other films, so I may go see this one. It will be pretty fun and probably worth my time, but overall nothing special. It won't be another Office Space, for example. I expect good performances from Bateman and probably even from Mila Kunis (What an awesome career she is building!), but I also expect to leave the theatre and forget that I ever saw the film once it's over.
So if you need something to do this weekend, sure, go see it. But I doubt you'll want to buy the DVD.
