All About Steve

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Bradley Cooper, Thomas Haden Church, Ken Jeong

I was caught off-guard with this movie. I was expecting a chick-flick but it wasn't the typical one. It could be categorized as a CF in that the movie was about feelings, a story, and a little about love but not in the girl-meets-boy-happily ever after sense.
Sandra's performance was awkward and heart-warming all at the same time. The dork side of me enjoyed her trivia knowledge and love of crosswords. The men-folk provided plenty of laughs; I've had a love of Thomas Haden Church's humor since Wings and he didn't disappoint.
Overall I can see why the movie didn't get the ratings as others but it was generally entertaining. I have to say, I've seen worse.
