Very well executed

Nice effects though.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I'm not sure of the templates of repeated form each person is comparing this film to give such poor commentary, but in my opinion if ya sit back and allow the film to just be what it is and tell it's odd story, you might enjoy it. The film shows characters we might have all met and dismissed as little odd, and if there's a slight intensity to stereotype, this is seen almost all male and female counterparts, in fact ken in this film is perhaps the only character that comes from a stable viewpoint, he even feels a little odd by contrast in the end. To me this film shows an intelligent look at different people, on the anxious to avoidant scale of what ideas of love and attraction mean to them, with almost all the main characters acting obsessive in other parts of their lives, as reflective of modern times, with a little comedic timing thrown in. No one character is completely mental, each just bumping into the other creates the story, rather than the main character's lunacy, which to my mind was just her trying to take a leap of faith, in belief in love in a cynical world, to which she is pushed as much pulled herself. If you can't see a little of yourself in this film to laugh at, I'd be surprised.. It's not a traditional rom com.

The film starts with a crossword puzzler who reads a lot and, also, talks a lot. Appearing maniac, she's always upbeat, decent and loves sharing information which is, to most people, irrelevant, nonsense, and useless.I think annoyance is the feeling everyone will have when watching the movie. This girl is paranoid, she can't shut her mouth up! But you gotta admit that she's very pure and smart. Because of what the cameraman tells her, she believes that he's sincere and keeps following him around.The story goes to an extreme when because of him, and one of his colleagues, the girl suffers from an accident. But from this moment, we've come to an awareness of how great this girl is. She deserves respect, not antipathy.This is a beautiful story, though I gotta admit the chance for her to find a boyfriend is very slim.Sandra Bullock is very clever, her action is always smooth as ever. Bradley Cooper is very handsome, ha ha.

This movie is remarkable. Somehow it succeeds in effortlessly rendering surely one of the most likable screen actresses ever, the adorable Sandra Bullock, everyone's favourite girl next door (bar perhaps Jennifer Aniston), so totally unbearable that I doubt I'll ever be able to watch her in anything ever again. At least not without traumatic flashbacks to this dire drivel.Some reviews cautioned only to watch it if you're an avid Bullock fan. I would say, if you're a fan, please don't watch it – it could contaminate Sandra for you for ever.This excruciating excuse for a romcom is really one of the worst of the bunch – and believe me, I've seen some bad ones (The Holiday, anyone? I would rather barbecue my own eyeballs than sit through that again).Sandra was born to play kooky, quirky, off the wall. But here they throw everything they can into the mix, thinking a sheer quantity of oddities (for example, she's a horny cruciverbalist) will suffice instead of actually constructing a whole personality, even if it turns her into an implausibly contradictory bunch of irritating tics and tiresome traits.As for the plot, how anyone else she encounters could come to care about this deluded, obsessive individual and her ludicrous carnal quest is beyond me. It's meant to be funny that, throughout all her trials and tribulations, she clings onto the increasingly battered umbrella borrowed from the object of her lust, the eponymous Steve, like some demented Mary Poppins on acid. It's a mystery to me why someone along the way didn't bludgeon her to death with the blessed thing.Perennially in scarlet boots (Dorothy's ruby slippers, perhaps), our heroine is not a patch on that plucky wanderer but instead an infuriating blend of know-it-all verbal diarrhoea and shockingly poor impulse control. She ends up as pointless and troublesome as a fly trapped in the car with you on a hot summer's day.Her alleged erudition is also hard to credit. It seems to manifest itself in tormenting her long-suffering parents and colleagues with a torrent of facts that never seem to demonstrate anything at all insightful or interesting. She just spouts 'knowledge' like a brainwashed chimp without being able to distinguish the pertinent from the irrelevant. When she referred to 'a medical phenomena' that was the icing on the cake as far as poor characterisation went. A wordsmith would surely be able to tell singular from plural.What on earth possessed our beloved Sandra to take this part? At least Bradley Cooper and Thomas Haden Church's roles are better written and funnier and their situations more sympathetic.If you're tempted to keep watching, hoping that it will get better, please don't waste your time. It really doesn't. It really is that poor from start to finish.Except maybe for the horse incident in the wild west town.

The problem with a lot of reviews and perhaps therefore reviewers is a distinct lack of empathy. The ability to see beyond your own feelings and experience is critical in understanding pretty much anything to do with people and especially if its reviewing the value of something for others. I get why a lot of people didn't like the movie, in a way there is a lot not to like UNLESS you have know people like Mary. I've know many. Of course, I don't mean exactly like Mary, what I mean is the character of Mary in this movie is representative of scores of people who are not normal, i.e. like most other people. I'm fairly sure it could have been tighter and perhaps could have had a lot better script but there were real moments of heart and fun.It's not a block buster but very few are. It's not a classic either but again, very few are. What it is is a cute exploration of vulnerability done by one of the best exponents of that characteristic, SB!Loved it on iTunes movies and so did my wife.
