Sandra Bullock in 'All About Steve' Trailer: "Full Retard" ...or Worse?
Filed under: Comedy, Romance, 20th Century Fox, Trailers and Clips
It appears that the only way for Sandra Bullock to make us grateful for her merely tepid rom-com fare (see: the trailer for this summer's The Proposal) was to offer something worse in comparison. As such, here's a trailer (watch below or over on Yahoo) for this spring's All About Steve, in which her bumbling Mary falls for eponymous cameraman Bradley Cooper -- despite indications that his interests fall elsewhere.What Steve doesn't seem to understand is that Mary appears to be... um, well, how you say, special.
By which I mean mentally deficient.
Oh, how she loves her red boots and drives through hurricanes after one-night stands and snickers at her own jokes and has hair like a Pomeranian and splits Moon Pies with strangers and falls down gaping holes in the ground while anchor Thomas Haden Church reports nearby -- isn't that all just melon-farmin' adorable?!? No wonder this puppy's attached to Bride Wars this weekend.
Oh, wait -- I'm actually being informed that her character is merely 'quirky' and 'eccentric'. Go figure.
All About Steve (which has no discernable connection to Fox's own 1950 classic, All About Eve) is opening on March 6th, 2009, and I suddenly understand why the studio is so desperate to get Watchmen bumped back.

Bracken said it. Sandra is always lovable in spite of her material. I'd watch her in almost anything.

William--
Your word choice in this post shows a lack of journalistic effort and is quite offensive. It can be difficult to be entirely politically correct in the 21st century without stepping on someone's toes, but the word "retard" has been unacceptable in our culture for some time. As an educator, I understand not everyone is aware or cognizant of these PC terms (in this instance, "intellectual disability" suffices), but one should at least make an attempt to use language that is not so demeaning. There was nothing about this movie trailer that suggested disability.
If there is an editor of Cinematical or ombudsman or woman, I am surprised they allowed such language.

Can you forgive him if he was quoting a movie? Tropic Thunder was hilarious in its spoof of the acting business.
Anyway, I was expecting to watch that trailer and be totally turned off, but I wasn't... it looks fun. To redeem myself I'll wait to rent it.

@ dtpollitt
calm down, he was quoting a scene from tropic thunder, notice the quotations in the headline. And if you think using the term "retard" is highly unacceptable in our culture, you should watch the trailer for this movie. I'd call that offensive.
And as Kirk Lazarus says, Never go full retard.
