Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSandra Bullock won the Golden Raspberry ("Razzie") Award for Worst Actress for this film, and appeared at the event to claim her prize, becoming only the second actress to accept the award in person, after Halle Berry in 2005. Bullock brought a wagon full of DVDs of the film for the three hundred attendees, and stated she believed most voters had not actually watched the film and voted for her just to see if she would appear at the ceremony. She asked them to watch or re-watch the film, and if the audience changed their minds and decided she was not the "Worst Actress", Bullock promised to come to the ceremony next year, return her award, and buy drinks for everybody.
- GoofsAt the protest, Mary is invited back to the media tent. As she walks through the metal detector, her pin activates an audible alarm on the detector. She walks back through the detector 4 times to take metal items off, yet the audible alarm does not activate when she walks back through, only when she is walking toward the media tent.
- Quotes
Mary Horowitz: Mary, why do you wear those stupid red boots all the time? You wanna know why? Because it makes my toes feel like 10 friends on a camping trip, that's why.
- Crazy creditsThere is a post-credit scene which involves Vasquez contemplating jumping into the hole.

Featured review
Is she supposed to be autistic? Are we supposed to laugh at her? That's the big problem with this movie. She's unbearable, and sad. Most of it is humiliating.
Mary Horowitz (Sandra Bullock) creates crossword puzzles for the Sacramento Herald. She's an eccentric mess unable to connect with other people. She's set up with TV news cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper) by her parents. While she falls head over heels for her, he can't run away fast enough as he's call to the next news story. She chases him all across the country.
The last section does have a little bit of fun. She finally does a few things right. But it's way too late to save this movie. It's really sad to see Sandra Bullock flail away for so few laughs.
