The 10 Worst Films of 2009
BY KEVIN CARR
10. All About Steve
Sandra Bullock had three movies in 2009, two of which have garnered award nominations. This is the other one. She plays a crossword puzzle writer who falls in “love” with a news cameraman and then stalks him from job to job.

Episode 118 – Land of the Fat
On This Week’s Show: Neil continues his reign over Kevin by seeing more movies this week. However, Kevin doesn’t take this lying down and unleashes venom on Neil like dinosaur urine. (Trust me, this reference is relevant if you’ve seen Land of the Lost.) The Fat Guys spar like never before, with Neil zoning out periodically and Kevin defending the family film nature of certain movies. In the spirit of The Hangover, they also unleash a new Fat Guy Five: Five Great Movies About Las Vegas. Still, no one saw My Life in Ruins, and no one seems upset by that.
Films Reviewed this Week: Land of the Lost and The Hangover. My Life In Ruins is previewed and ridiculed.
