All About Steve (2009 PG 13)

   The move stars Sandra Bullock (While you Were Sleeping, Speed), Bradley Cooper (Failure to Launch, The Weddings Crashers), Thomas Hayden Church ( Sideways, 3000 Miles to Graceland),  Howard Hessman ( WKRP in Cinninnati) and Keith David (They Live, The Cape tv).
   Bullock, socially inept, is in love with Cooper.  She follows him around the country.  It may be that Bullocks character has Aspergers or some other social interaction disorder.
   In fairness Bullock got a Rassie (for worst actress of the year).  I rated the movie as a B.  I connected to the socially inept Bullock.  Its oftern I hate movies that go out of there way to make fun of people (Dinner for Schmucks, I hope to get to later in the Blog, is a movie that went out of its way to be mean and vindictive).  For me this movie did not make fun of Bullocks character.  In my oppion she should of gotten the Rassie for her role in The Proposal a much worse character and movie but I dont get to vote.
   For me the movie worked but this may be a review where I am in  the distinct minority.  So even though I liked the movie I would have to say watch it but be prepared to not like the movie.
