Storyline

- TriviaSandra Bullock won the Golden Raspberry ("Razzie") Award for Worst Actress for this film, and appeared at the event to claim her prize, becoming only the second actress to accept the award in person, after Halle Berry in 2005. Bullock brought a wagon full of DVDs of the film for the three hundred attendees, and stated she believed most voters had not actually watched the film and voted for her just to see if she would appear at the ceremony. She asked them to watch or re-watch the film, and if the audience changed their minds and decided she was not the "Worst Actress", Bullock promised to come to the ceremony next year, return her award, and buy drinks for everybody.

Featured review
I was delighted and uplifted. Sandra Bullock has real charm and grace, and this movie brightly showcases that
Reading some critics' reviews, and the online IMDb votes, I was expecting a really bad movie. I was shocked to find not only a NOT bad movie. and not only an "OK" movie, but what, for me, was a really great movie! Of course I am a solid Sandra Bullock fan. I thought this movie took some interesting elements (Thomas Hayden Church's characters, for example, are usually so smarmy and sleazy they are unpleasant to see, especially given that he is such a good actor, he pulls the worst out of his characters), and played them together very well.
Fortunately, we don't all admire or like the same things in the opposite sex. What many often cluck over in celebrity ladies often leaves me cold, feeling as if I had brushed up against a self-absorbed block of ice. Bullock's on-screen persona is always a warm, earthy, personable sort. Matey. Chummy. It's the films, of course, so her traits are artificially heightened, but I LIKE those kinds of women in the real world. From all that I hear and have seen over the years, Bullock seems to be the real deal--- her on-screen persona is not terribly far from her real life personality. Whatever... but the point is that she brings a loveliness and kindness to her roles that I enjoy.
The critics have been unfairly beating up on this movie, I think. Granted, it's a rom-com, and a bit silly, but if I wanted hard-core reality, or gritty tragedy, I'd watch the news, or "Schindler's List" or something. I'd stay home and stare at my friends, or in the mirror, for free. I want to be delighted and uplifted at the cinema, and this film did exactly that. Hurray for Sandra Bullock and the "All About Steve" production team!
