All About You is a 2001 romantic comedy film written and directed by Christine Swanson. The film stars Renée Elise Goldsberry as a woman who tries to find love and ends up in a complicated romantic triangle. The film had its world premiere on August 4, 2001, at the Urbanworld Film Festival. Swanson initially had some difficulty in finding a distributor for the film, as distributors stated it was "not edgy enough".

Swanson released a followup entitled All About Us in 2007.
