All About Steve (2009)

From Amazon Prime:

The Proposal’s Sandra Bullock, Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church, and The Hangover’s Bradley Cooper star in a hilarious tale of a woman who, after falling hard for a guy, thinks they’re an item; unfortunately, he thinks she’s stalking him!

From Amazon Prime you can stream this 1 hour 38 minute comedy film. Hurry, because this riot of a film leaves Amazon on November 1, 2021.

Sandra Bullock’s Mary Horowitz creates crossword puzzles for a newspaper. She is a walking and constantly talking encyclopedia of assorted factoids. Her script must have been difficult to memorize because it truly is non-stop and exhausting to hear, let alone recite.

What makes the film fun to watch are the pratfalls.  Ignore the beginning encounter between Mary and Bradley Cooper’s Steve in his auto where Mary naively throws herself at Steve, because that is not in keeping with the rest of the film.

Both Kathy and I could not stop laughing.
