Transformers 2 may no longer be the worst movie of the year/decade. All About Steve, a film starring Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper, has just received the royal poo-poo from Rotten Tomatoes – a 2 percent critic rating. That’s out of 100. The plot goes something like this: Sandra Bullock is a weird crossword-puzzlin’ babe who falls in love with Bradley Cooper, a goon cameraman who is just not that into her.
Somewhere along the way, this ended up as “easily one of the worst movies of the year (if not the decade), there is not one redeeming quality to All About Steve, an offensive film morally, socially, and to the institution of comedy.” Film critic Peter Sobczynski bleakly sums up the Rotten Tomatoes onslaught nicely: “Let me put it this way — this is easily the single worst film that Sandra Bullock has been involved with and bear in mind, I have seen Speed 2.” To put this all into perspective, we’ve whipped up a handy dandy Shame-O-Meter after the jump.

Today at Flavorpill, we loved this comparison of Google to SkyNet. We wished we’d come up with the $50,000 web page idea. We enjoyed watching these movies in four frames. We decided that we have to see this doc about construction workers going green. We giggled over the idea of a “slow video game movement.” Isn’t that what stoners have been doing forever? We almost threw up over the news that Facebook is worth $10 billion. We found it funny that Jon & Kate debuted to record ratings. (It must be the reverse mullet.) We considered pooling our money to buy Cameron Frye’s house. We were surprised to learn that TV might save indie film. We encountered www.explosionsandboobs.com. We learned how to whisper. We hopped Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper. And finally, we were really, really disappointed in Pete Yorn. Any dream about Scarlett Johansson shouldn’t involve recording an album.
We can’t remember the last time our anticipation for a movie jumped this much from one trailer to the next. A new, full-length version (after the jump) of The Hangover was just unleashed and managed to dispel our disappointment after seeing the initial shorter one. We didn’t imagine an ensemble cast including Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms (Andy from The Office), Heather Graham, Rob Riggle, a tiger, a baby, and Mike Tyson could fail. Can you say “screwball”? The Hangover is currently slated for a June 5 release. Read More »
