All About Steve

Let's jump right in, shall we?

First off, the opening credits suggest that our girl writes crossword puzzles? QUIRKY!
And now we see these red boots that I guess she just wears all of the time every day. Again, QUIRKY!
Oh, Sandra Bullock! Getting all scared by a dog in the park as she walks to work. QUIRKY!
HAHAHA, she almost runs into a guy and tries to go around him, but then they do that awkward shuffle. CLMUSY!
Oh, no. She works so hard on her crossword puzzles that her boss is asking her if she ever goes out. "Less work, more of everything else. Just enjoy being normal." Actual words her boss told her. That's a totally appropriate conversation to have with your boss.
Good thing she has a blind date that her parents set up for her!
Now she's at career day for the school and spilling everything out to the firefighter that's after her. QUIRKY.
Oh, geez. She's gonna bomb in front of this class of kids.
Haha, these kids are making fun of her for not having a boyfriend and living at home. QUIRKY!
She also suffers from vertigo. QUIRKY!
Her parents are forcing her to go on this date because "they want her to be happy." Everyone keeps telling her to be normal which apparently means being in a relationship!
EW! She changed for Bradley Cooper. And then she just mauls him in the car. But he has to go do breaking news in Boston because he's a cameraman. I'm so annoyed with her that she just made out with him.
And then she made a crossword puzzle "All About Steve" GROSS. And of course she's fired.
And Steve's a total IDIOT. He's a cameraman who zooms in on a women's breasts as part of his footage. I guess they're both really unprofessional so that's CUTE.
AND NOW Sandra Bullock is riding a bus across the country chasing after Steve. I hate this movie.
And the bus driver made her get off and drove away.
Of course she's getting a ride with some random stranger to Tuscon. And the way she does that is by running in front of his semi truck. HAHA. She wrote down his license in Sharpie on his arm in case he murders her. But I guess they had a good time because he was laughing as he dropped her off.

NOW SHE'S GONE TO OKLAHOMA because Steve's there. UGH. I hate this movie. How creepy is she! I don't like this at all.
I do love how freaked out he is. That's hilarious.
OOOOH. But she helped him find this Dad they're doing a story about because she knows so many facts.
AND NOW SHE HAS A FRIEND! She met someone at the protest they're doing news about. Or something. I'm kind of half invested in this movie.
Now the news anchor Steve works with is messing with Sandra and telling her fake advice to make sure she stays with Steve. THIS MOVIE IS AWFUL AND FULL OF EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION.
Now she has her friend and the friend's love interest giving her a ride into a huge storm where Steve's caemramanning.
But of course his car gets sucked up into a tornado. DANGIT.
OH, MY GOODNESS. Steve thinks Mary's (Sandra's character's name) trying to kill her. Which is hilarious in and of itself.
Mary got mixed up in the story Steve was cameramanning and fell into an abandoned mine and there's a deaf girl in there too. It's a long story how it all came about. But she's starting to become hopeless.
Everyone thinks she's dead because of the poisoning.
Guys, Mary got out using her brains and physics and stuff! QUIRKY!

Okay, I'm so glad they don't end up together. That makes this movie much better. She realizes she doesn't need to stalk a guy to make her life complete. YAY! That's probably why Sandra Bullock did the movie because the ending is about the girl and not the relationship she thinks will make her normal. I appreciate that!
