All About Steve is officially rated PG-13. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 13+.

All About Steve follows Mary Horowitz, an eccentric crossword constructor who becomes convinced that a news cameraman named Steve is her soulmate. After their disastrous blind date, she embarks on a cross-country pursuit that leads to various awkward social situations and an accidental entrapment in a mine collapse…

The film features recurring suggestive dialogue and frequent displays of cleavage. In one scene, a character attempts to initiate sex in a vehicle, resulting in a sequence where clothing is removed down to undergarments, though no nudity is shown.

None. The film is devoid of physical combat or gore, focusing instead on awkward social interactions and comedic peril.

Mild profanity is present throughout the script. This includes multiple uses of 'shit', as well as isolated instances of 'pussy', 'ass', and 'Jesus' used as an exclamation.

Alcohol consumption is depicted in social settings, such as at bars or during parties, though it remains a minor background element.

The primary theme is obsession, as Mary refuses to respect Steve's boundaries. The film also explores social alienation and the eventual realization of self-worth outside of a romantic pursuit.

All About Steve runs 99 minutes, directed by Phil Traill, released in 2009.
