This is one of those movies that was made to make really strange people feel good about themselves. Unfortunately, even they hated this loathsome piece of crap.

Again, this is another movie that just makes me question the thought process behind how certain movies are made. Seriously, some guy actually pitched the idea for a movie where we are supposed to sympathize for an insane stalker, and the studio said yes.

What the frell is that about!?

Film Brain, I Balto Stephen Winter, a man with no followers, no identity on www.thatguywiththeglasses .com, and a constant commentator; challenge you to review the movie Eragon.

o_O you...*gasp* YOU MONSTER!

Hellz to the fuck yes! XB I agree with this challenge and issue a second part. Review the cancer that is Dragonball: Evolution :psychotic:

there is already a DB: Evolution review on this site, here: http:// thatguywiththeglasses.com /videolinks/teamt/paw/ specials/16364- dragonball-evolution

At least there's a sort of unintentional comedy about this film. After all, I think it's safe to say that the majority of people here on thatguywiththeglasses.com are "really strange" to say the least and yet we can all agree that none of us can truly condone Mary's actions

Hell, I have Asperger's Syndrome and traits of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder myself and even I think Mary's an annoying, obsessive freakazoid! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to catch a bus to meet up with my new best friend that I've only known for a total of five minutes and drive everyone else on the bus mad with anecdotes about cartoons! Tah!

i have aspergers too and i totally agree Mary is a psycopath why didnt they get her arrested just dial 911 on his cell phone and voila problam solved slap that bitch with a restrain ing order

i agreed sadly and im american -L-

Wow she acts like a 12 year old but is being played by a 40 something actress.....bad casting totaly. Great review film brain, very funny with good attention to the movie :)

Yeah, the casting is ...
Well, I'm not sure if it's the worst thing in the movie because the entire premise is still pretty creepy, but it's definitely a serious problem.

This movie just felt weird and off the entire time. It tries to be a fun, happy movie, but just cannot get it anywhere close to working. Nice review Matthew. I never saw this movie before, and I definitely don't plan to now. =)

FILMBRAIN ROCKS!! awesome as always, mathew! =D

the one good thing to result from that movie: sandra bullock's stint at the razzies, which was nothing short of hilarious. thank you for including that.

Easily the worst performance Sandra Bullock's career and the most insufferable and unsympathetic character she has ever portrayed. This shit puddle is also so ball-shatteringly unfunny and poorly executed that it mutates into a kind of morose and disturbing joke at the expense of the protagonist. It's cinematic anti-matter the caliber of Wild Hogs or Paranormal Activity.

I recently checked the original out from Jet Black Stare.

You did a nice edit on the number, Mr. Buck!

This is like the comedy version of May (2002).

Nice north american accent, Mr. Buck! Great review, I think you're right about how oddly this project was executed, Bullock will be eating crow for this one for years. She's not a terrible actress, hopefully she bounces back to something more age appropriate. (I have to give her props for appearing in person for her razzie.) Cooper isn't really believable as a romantic interest anyways, and the lack of any meaningful character development between the two just makes his little divine inspiration about Mary even more ridiculously astounding. Wow, I haven't seen an AMC Gremlin in years, I guess it's fitting it would appear in this "failed vehicle" :snicker:

This would have made a good slasher flick. =D

[color=green]Glad you survived that movie, I felt I was going to hang myself after hearing Bullock's character one more time.[/color]

It's painfully obvious where this movie went wrong: it desperately wants to be Happy-Go-Lucky. But where Happy-Go-Lucky was a tasteful, deep and genuinely funny meditation on happiness and optimism in a word that is becoming increasingly cynical, this piece of crap misses the mark completely and ends up being... well, everything you said it is. Poppy was a truly inspiring and layered character while Bullock's character is made a laughing stock who's psychosis is played for laughs. I know what they were trying to do. They just failed miserably.

I will say that Sandra Bullock is a classy lady and a very decent comedian. Props to her.

It sounds like you've found a niche in the romcom genre. I encourage this. The genre as a whole is worthy of the mother of all beatdowns, but many reviewers seem squeamish about it. Maybe because it's traditionally less-than-manly fare? I hope you stick with this trend. Seeing these abominations torn down does a girl good.

Ah! I finally found the source of your picture: VG Cats. I hope you got Scott's permission to use this.

The little girl stuck with mary was in terminator salvation and she didn't talk there either i wonder if she is deaf for real?

The problem with this movie is, that she does act "scary" or rather unusual, but I don't think she's that crazy as you put it. Yes, she is not normal, but I guess people become obsessed this way, when they have never had friends or love. As you said in the beginning: she lacks social skills.
Nontheless, the movie is boring and lacks a true plot. It feels like they put some ideas together and made a film out of it, but a central theme is missing. Apparently there is one(something about accepting oneself?), but it's really well hidden...

Is Bullock's character supposed to be autistic, or is she just supposed to be quirky? Either way they fail as the character is simultaneously a laughing stock, but also dangerously unwell.
My favourite part was when they were trying to blame the dickhead reporter for her falling down the massive hole directly in front of her....he's only a dick if she actually IS mental, but the movie goes out of it's way to pass her off as merely quirky, so it doesn't work to blame him.

Bullock should have known better really, she's better than what was portrayed here...Anna Faris really would have been FAR better in the role, so nice shout there FB.

The guy encourages a clearly psychotic individual to stalk his terrified coworker, ultimately further damaging both parties' psychiatric health in the process. I think he's a dick whether or not she fell in the hole because of him.

He's definetly a dick for what he does - but the movie implies Mary falling down the hole was directly his fault, which it wasn't.

Well, he did lead her to said hole. Without him telling her where they went, it wouldn't have happened. Though, that's arguing semantics. In the end, I say it's 50/50 he lured her to the hole. But she was to stupid to notice a huge hole in the ground.

Oh, for the love of all that is good and holy... these movies are hurting more and more as the weeks go on. I actually had to take a couple of breaks during this one, the movie was so bad! I mean... I'm glad you're tearing these movies apart, but maybe you could go with one that's a bit more subtly bad? My psyche would be very grateful.

I heard about this movie... but didn't watch it.

It looks absolutely horrible. FilmBrain was right, they just didn't know what to do with this movie and it goes in all the wrong directions every bit of the time.



Glad I didn't watch this trash movie.

Matthew, you used the F-word without a bleep! This movie must've really pissed you off. Great review, as always.

:whisper: thanks for beating down this bad movie.



very hilarious, Mr. Buck

The writer of this also wrote the Robin Williams disaster "License to Wed" what does that tell you?

I have to admit that I laugh to reactions of all those people in bus while Mary was talking, thing that truck driver said to her and scene were she ran into that hole.

Wow... just wow... That was almost literally painful to watch. And that was just the review. I'm sorry for anyone who sat through the actually movie. X_X

Damn the clips were hard enough to watch i dont know if i could have sat through it all.

YES! Thank you. You just made me the happiest viewer ever!

Casting Officer: I wanna cast an actress who plays a neurotic and socially-awkward lady who is obsessed with crossword puzzles and is basically the annoying version of Amelie Poulain. Who should i cast?

Producer: Sandra Bullock.

Casting Officer: Isn't she too old?

Producer: Well, besides her everyone else in the list is either British, Australian or European. We already got an Asian so therefore we've filled our racial quota. And if we cast a non-American, it might give an assumption that only non-Americans can be a neurotic and socially-awkward lady who is obsessed with crossword puzzles and is basically the annoying version of Amelie Poulain

CO: Well, okay. Sandra Bullock.

P: Cool. Want some cocaine?

CO: Sure.

Wow, that was just....wow. Massive respect for making through this one, Film Brain.

Ugh..my forehead is red, shiny and sore after even this summarised view of the movie.. I still love Sandra Bullock tho :D

What's most upsetting about this movie is that it could have been used as a social commentary to point at the fact that women are so pressured to be in relationships to feel "normal" that they cling to guys they don't love because they think just being in the relationship is all that matters and love will come later. What we get instead is slapstick humor making fun of people with disabilities. I have friends with OCD. Some who are almost as bad as this character. I will tell them never to see this movie because it is so insulting, the way the movie's "message" is that basically people who are different can not be loved or accepted by people so they should go back to their little lonely apartments and just accept it. And notice how most news stories have to do with some type of disability? Kid with a third leg? Deaf children? The whole movie is one big disability joke, and I'm not laughing.

Thank you for your comment, because that was one thing I was thinking too.
Normal woman = woman with a boyfriend?
And of course the abuse of people with disability to bring on their "message".

While the message is "its okay to be different", you're right, a lot of the humour centres around making fun of people, especially its protagonist. The crowning example is the first scene with the deaf children: they get to the fair, and run in slow motion towards it... only to fall down a hole. Yes, laugh at the deaf children falling down into a mine. How mean-spirited.

That and, well, if you have a physical impairment you will go through life surrounded by people who think you're also mentally challenged in some way. This film seconds that- if you're deaf, then you're stupid enough to run headlong into a gaping hole in the ground. Thanks for that, movie.

It also sends the message that if you're weird, don't even TRY to know normal people- just go to your colony of freaks and don't bother us. Not that I can sympathize with this woman that much, but I blame that on the fact that the writers had probably never bothered to get to know anybody left of center, so they didn't know how to write her.

Now now, people falling in holes has been a classic since comedy was first invented (the 1960s I think). It's just that by that point in the movie, all comedy is dead and you've forgotten the fact that there is indeed joy and laughter in the world. It's not so much mean-spirited as it is misplaced. Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. Or incompetence, in this case.

Well said. The problems and negative feedback people with any kind of disability deal with everyday are horribly ignored for the most part. And the mean-spirited humor in media like this movie does nothing to remedy this problem!

the first 5 minutes pretty much told me this was bad

Ugh.

For some post-movie cleansing of the palate, I recommend watching [i]Midnight Meat Train[/i]. There, you get to watch Bradley Cooper stalk a suspected murderer and get his tongue ripped out. In other words, it's much less horrifying than this!

(Seriously, though, it's a very good and sadly overlooked movie).

Film Brain, everything you sum it up about the manipulation of this movie's idiotic, insulting, pathetic message makes me sick to my stomach :sick: . But you know what else that makes me sick even more? Sandra Bullock's horrible life after this movie and her breakup from Jesse Gregory James - which after three divorces he had, he's officially an a**clown. :notfunny:

I know this has nothing to do with this movie, but I believe it is. If you think this movie really brought very low level on Sandra's life, her ex and the tabloids from gossip organizations (which I like to call the tabloids "gossip vultures") had to make it worst. I'm glad she was able to be two great films The Proposal and The Blind Side; I don't know why she was in this movie........and frankly I don't want to.

But besides that point, Sandra Bullock deserves a lot than this. She is one of my favorite actresses :love: . Film Brain, I saw this movie on a pirate DVD copy (no I'm not ashame of that because this is a garbage film anyway, so sue me) and I immediately despise this movie in the first 10 minutes. Like you, there are so many questions about this film. Observe:

1. What is the film trying to say?!
2. What is the point this movie is trying to come across?!
3. Why are you reviewing this movie, so that you can torture me more for reminding me about this pile of crappy movie?!
4. Why am I posting comments on this video just to make me MORE angry?!
5. My god, HOW IN THE NINE CIRCLES OF LOLs, OMGs and X_X s DID THIS MOVIE GOT INTO PRODUCTION?!

WHY?! WHY?! DARN YOU FILM BRAIN! HAVE YOU HAVE NO SHAME TO PASS THIS MOVIE AND REVIEW SOMETHING ELSE!!? :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I need a moment to calm down).

Sorry. Seeing this movie for the second time (even it is a review) just ticks me more. You know what I mean. Bottem line Film Brain, you did a great job to trash this film. I just wish to take more time on this video to trash it more. Oh well, I'm glad you weren't too hard on Sandra Bullock, even she produce this movie as well. I don't know. Whenever I hear or think about All About Steve the movie, I want to say to myself and to others that this movie does NOT exist.....and it should be that way because others including professional critics want to forget this film too - very, very quickly. :music:

I have little doubts he divorced her becuse of this movie :D


gah.. what a horrible piece of film. Why does she talk so much? shut up, shut up, shutt upp!!!

:psychotic: NEVER, FOOLISH MORTAL, FOR I AM MARY, THE MASTER OF MONOLOGUES!!

:cool: THE MONOLOGUES, THEY'RE OVER 9000!!!

:flame: WHAT, 9000?!!

:psychotic: ...

:flame: ...

:cool: ...
