All About Steve (2009)

Mary Horowitz (Sandra Bullock) writes crossword puzzles for a newspaper called the Sacramento Herald. From the beginning of the movie, it's obvious to tell that Mary isn't necessarily average. Her parents are always trying to set her up on blind dates, seeing as how she is single. Therefore, Mary regretfully agrees to go on a blind date with this guy named Steve (Bradley Cooper), who is a cameraman for CNN. Upon meeting him, she is instantly attracted. Within minutes, it seems as if she has decided that Steve is the man for her. Their date doesn't even last ten minutes because it's obvious that Steve is turned off by her quirky personality, but he makes a remark out of kindness about how he wished that she could go on the road with him. Mary ends up losing her job because she creates a crossword puzzle which is all about Steve. Therefore, she decides to follow him across the country. The thing that bothered me the most about this movie is her dedication to follow him across the country just because of one remark. She had only met him once, and for only about ten minutes. Therefore, she just seemed kind of creepy and stalker-ish. That being said, Sandra managed to play the part perfectly. I honestly didn't expect much out of this movie, and I was right to think that.

I gave this movie 4/10 stars on imdb.com.
