Product Description

Girl power (or if you prefer, woman power) gets a goofy boost in My Super Ex-Girlfriend, a breezy rom-com that's as fun as it is forgettable. As devised by former Simpsons writer Don Payne and directed by comedy veteran Ivan (Ghostbusters) Reitman, the premise is certainly promising, and much of that promise is gamely fulfilled. When a New York building designer named Matt (Luke Wilson) discovers that his new girlfriend Jenny (Uma Thurman) is actually a crime-fighting, disaster-solving superhero named G-Girl who's also needy, neurotic, and unpredictably volatile, he realizes he's got to dump her as politely as possible or face the potentially deadly consequences. Since he's really in love with a cute colleague (Anna Faris), and since the arch-villain Professor Bedlam (Eddie Izzard) has been in love with G-Girl since they were outcast pals in high school, you can easily figure out where the comedy is going. But getting there is surprisingly enjoyable, given the rather flat execution of a pretty good idea. The shark-tossing scene is a highlight, and other memorable scenes compensate for Reitman's embrace of a bitchy female stereotype that's either insulting or truthful, depending on your own romantic experience as the dumper or dumpee. Rainn Wilson (from the American version of TV's The Office) performs the obligatory sidekick duties, and comedian Wanda Sykes is just plain annoying in a shrill and unnecessary role. Silly? You bet. Go in expecting that, and you won't be disappointed. --Jeff Shannon

 My Super Ex-Girlfriend February 7, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
In New York, when the shy and lonely project manager of a design firm Matt Saunders meets Jenny Johnson in the subway, he invites her to date and have dinner with him. Jenny immediately falls in love for him, they have sex and she discloses her true identity to him, telling that she is the powerful superhero G-Girl. After meeting his co-worker and friend Hannah Lewis, the needy Jenny becomes jealous, controlling and manipulative, and Matt follows the advice of his best friend Vaughn Haige and dumps her, breaking her heart. Jenny turns Matt's life into hell, while he has a romance with Hannah. However, the archenemy of G-Girl and former high school sweetheart of Jenny, Professor Bedlam, proposes Matt to lure Jenny to strip her superpowers. Uma Thurman is perfect as the mercurial super-heroine, mysteriously named G-Girl. It's a delightful movie.

My boyfriend actually wanted to watch this over again another time! It's great to watch something that is entertaining for adults, holds the interest, and makes you laugh too!
X GF not so super September 13, 2009

Great concept, but ends up as thin soup. Likeable actors, professionally made, but for me the approach never clicked.

Given time I could think of hundreds, but for the sake of brevity, here are 10 reasons why MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND is horrifically, inherently, overwhelmingly, incessantly, belligerently, and desperately BAD:
10. Neurotic, insecure, insanely jealous superheroes are not only not funny, but get on my nerves.
9. Uma Thurman needs to stick to slasher shoot-'em-ups and avoid comedy.
8. Luke Wilson whines, gripes, moans, and whimpers more than a room full of teen girls just informed the Jonas Brothers concert has been cancelled.
7. Plus he's not funny.
6. The moving bed sequence was just plain lame; but this film is so bad we're going to get to see this sight gag twice.
5. Wanda Sykes.
4. Eddie Izzard. Are you kidding me? No, you are not kidding me.
3. Rainn Wilson is the most annoying sidekick since Gabby Hayes.
2. Anna Faris's considerable comedic talents are completely and utterly wasted.
And the number one reason MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND is so sickeningly bad:
1. Too bad that CGI shark wasn't real.
To stretch this into a poultry metaphor, even if it were Thanksgiving this gobbler wouldn't make the dining room table.
