Critics Consensus

All About Steve is an oddly creepy, sour film, featuring a heroine so desperate and peculiar that audiences may be more likely to pity than root for her.

On paper, a crazy romcom starring Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper could only be a good thing. Wrong. Go to Full Review
Ella Taylor NPR May 28, 2013
All About Steve is a messy assemblage of clumsy sight gags, winking reaction shots and disingenuous populist genuflection to the idea that there's no such thing as normal. We all see a little bit of Mary in ourselves, don't we? Don't we? Go to Full Review

Mr. S @RT76326261 3 days ago This movie is way more than 7/100. 5-6/10 is more accurate. I've seen way worse movies that were way higher rated on this website but were way worse than this one. See more Agustn R @RT87131416 Aug 22, 2026 I don't understand the low ratings, especially from the critics. It is not a masterpiece, but is really funny. I hadn't laughed like with this film for years. See more Steve J @javontegreen31 Jul 10, 2026 If I could give zero stars I would. Easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. See more paige S @paigeska May 20, 2026 Saw this movie for the first time, just a couple of years ago while I was scrolling on Tubi and after being a long time fan of all Sandra’s movies, I knew I had to check it out. I love it and laughed my a** off throughout the whole film. I enjoyed it so much that i went and told my Mom (long time Sandra fan as well) the very next day that she had to see it. Then just today, I found out she got a razzie for this movie??? What the heck is wrong with you people!? This was a cute and funny movie, perfect when you are having a down day and just want to laugh. Great movie and thank you everyone involved! See more Steven F @RT82092080 Apr 21, 2026 What was Sandra thinking, you read the Sypnosis & think Sandra Bullock & Bradley Cooper in a comedy about a female stalker & think this will be funny as hell, wrong! Your not entirely sure if her character is crazy, weird, freaky, you can’t nail what her character is going for, did she have little boy at home she used for inspiration, with Something about Mary (which this really feels like it’s trying to copy, a very cheap made for TV movie that fails miserably), there’s something about Mary you know Ben Stillers Character is a genuine good hearted intelligent guy who just got an unlucky break in high school, Mary is a cool, confident, hard working, good hearted female looking for true love and a real man, Sandra acts like an 8 year old little boy who’s had too much sugar, your meant to root for the character but you just pity Sandra & think it took 45 minutes to get to plot, it keeps throwing in these weird bizarre creepy dull, boring news stories that make no sense. Stay clear See more Ron T @Ron750 Feb 13, 2026 I don’t understand the hate for this movie. Or maybe I do. I grew up in the ‘60s when classes were grouped by IQ. So I know many high IQ people. They used to be considered nerdy or eccentric. Now their personalities are pathologized. Called autistic or ADHD or Aspergers. Many movies try to make us more tolerant of many different groups. But I guess it’s still cool to hate on socially awkward people with large vocabularies. I think this is a funny farce and worth watching. The actors did a good job, and it actually does a good job of skewering modern news reporting. See more Read all reviews
