Preview: All About Steve (2009)

Synopsis:

An eccentric woman follows the man she believes to be her one true love, a CNN cameraman, across the country trying to convince him they belong together.

• Poster: C

Review:

Fairly typical of your comedy poster. Sandra Bullock looks exceptionally idiotic and the three onlookers, including an unecessary Asian man, just feels rather unnecessary and decidedly un-funny.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Borrowing a title from a film about the backstabbing theatre biz is a bit ill-suited for a relationship comedy. The trailer suggests that this film isn't all about Steve. It's all about Sandra Bullock who seems to be returning to her comic roots here. She's a bit out there in terms of style, but she still exudes a charm that many of her fellow actresses (such as Reese Witherspoon) sometimes lack. While I get the impression the movie won't be that great, I couldn't help but laugh a couple of times, especially at the final scene.

Oscar Prospects:

Like the references Miss Congeniality, this movie isn't designed for the Oscars. It's designed to bring in money and it should do just that.
