Sandra Bullock is All about Steve- Movie Review

Comcast OnDemand does it again!  They have some amazing free movies running on HBO OnDemand.  One of these must see movies is All About Steve, it is playing until 1/3/2011.  It stars Sandra Bullock, Bradley Cooper, Thomas Haden Church and Ken Jeong.  It is a comedy that tells the story of the ultimate nerd finding her place in the world.  

Sandra Bullock rocks in All About Steve!  She does an amazing job portraying a misunderstood smart girl named Mary Horowitz.  Horowitz creates crossword puzzles for a living and lives with her parents.  People find it difficult to relate Mary, as her love of words and unusually high IQ, make it almost impossible to connect with her.

The story begins to develop when Mary falls for Steve.  She thinks his statement "I wish you could be there" is sincere and she follows him around the nation.  Steve, played by Bradley Cooper,  is afraid that Mary is a psychotic stalker and is terribly frightened by her affections.  His hilarious antics to get rid of her are constantly sabotaged by his co-worker Hartman Hughes.



Through Mary's pursuit for Steve she meets friends that really care for her.  Their devotion helps Mary Horowitz accept herself and forget about Steve.  Empowered Peace is loving who you are, no matter how different you might be!
