Romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock, Thomas Haden Church and Bradley Cooper. Irrepressible Mary Horowitz goes on a blind date with news cameraman Steve and is immediately smitten. Steve is not so keen on the idea of a relationship, but Mary is not one to be put off easily.
Sandra Bullock turns in an excruciatingly kooky performance in this ill-conceived stalker romance. She plays nerdy crossword-puzzle compiler Mary Horowitz, whose parents arrange for her to go on a blind date with handsome TV cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper). Convinced he's "the one", the gauche chatterbox publishes a crossword puzzle called "All about Steve" that gets her fired from the local paper. But unemployment only leaves her free to follow her beloved across America in an insane effort to prove her intentions, resulting in Steve and reporter Hartman Hughes (Thomas Haden Church) bungling their news assignments as they try to outrun Mary's besotted pursuit. Few scenes escape Bullock's jarring and overbaked wackiness in this low-brow road movie. Ken Jeong (The Hangover) makes some impression as a luckless travelling TV producer, but otherwise this too often settles for cheap laughs.
