Movie: All About Steve

I've stopped reading/listening to movie reviews until after I've seen the film so I view it on its own merits rather than someone else's.  Still, since I watch about everything through Netflix, by the time the movie comes, I've heard about it.  I heard only bad things about All About Steve and was expecting terrible.

This movie comes under the genre of Silly.  But for a silly movie it was delightful and for the life of me, I can't figure out what the critics were bitching about.  The movie allows us to look at people we would consider "peculiar" and empathize with them.  Sandra Bullock plays a girl who is too smart for her own good, she is book intelligent but socially naive.

I'm thinking it was because Ms. Bullock played a different role than her usual fare such as in The Proposal or Two Weeks Notice.  If you like the comedy/romance genre, you will probably enjoy Proposal.  Betty White is especially funny in the movie.

Back to All About Steve, my significant other said he could see very well why the critics didn't like the movie:  it was stupid.  Of course, he says that about almost everything, so take that with a grain of salt.
