All About Stupidity
20 September 2009
The film shows that some people in Hollywood do not understand the distinction between IQ and wisdom. Sandra Bullock plays a person with an intellectual IQ at one end of the scale and a social IQ at the other end. We are supposed to believe that this is the cause of her problem, when in reality it is her shallowness. Her shallowness (and concomitant lack of character) makes the whole film ring so false that at the end of the movie one cannot even decipher what the meaning of the film was. Was it that being different is OK? If that is the case, then the film was a horrible failure. Or perhaps it was supposed to be that one should follow one's heart and dreams. Well now, that wouldn't be a bad message if the dream was based upon something *real* rather than the product of some delusion or if the goal was something noble and meaningful. But alas, it is not, and just as Bullock's character in the movie runs into a sink hole the size of Texas without even noticing it, the plot of "All About Steve" also descends just as unbelievably into a contrived mess of improbable people, situations, and logic. If you want to truly test how much of a Sandra Bullock fan you are, I dare you to watch this movie.
