The title of this movie sounds somewhat enticing - New York building designer guy Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) dumps Jenny Johnson (Jenny Johnson), a reluctant superhero known as G-Girl. As revenge, she uses her powers to make Matt's life miserable. While Matt courts his beautiful work partner Hannah (Anna Faris), G-Girl's enemy and former sweetheart, Professor Bedlam (Eddie Izzard), attempts to use Matt to lure Jenny to strip her superpowers.This movie obviously uses the superhero formula, but mixes all the action and adventure with corny jokes, forced comedy and mostly lame acting. There are some light-hearted and action-packed moments (with cool special effects), particularly involving Matt's frustrated chemistry with Jenny and her using her superpowers in the city. Luke Wilson and Uma Thurman's acting were OK, Anna Faris was descent, but Rainn Wilson was plain annoying. The story was below average overall as the plot dragged somewhat - very little substance or suspense, mostly relying on the cheap jokes and uninspiring "superhero" action. I was surprised to learn that Ivan Reitman actually directed this film. After directing great movie hits such as Ghostbusters and Kindergarten Cop, this movie is a bit of a let-down coming from him.Bottom line, it wouldn't hurt to spend your time watching something else.Grade D

I've actually enjoyed it, even though it was cheesy... and it is no secret that it is.At one time it reminded me of supergirl (spin on suuperman) even though I didn't watch that.This was one funny film! And you know, funny stuff are that because they are true and remind us of our own experiences.Above watchable... but when you're in the mood for a romantic cheesy comedy.Yeah, well, cheesy might not be the right word... but I say "cheesy" 'cuase it hits all kinds of clichés.Oh, plus Uma Thurman never looked sexier! arrrrrrr...

Whats wrong with people? OK, it's not a classic but nevertheless My Super Ex-Girlfriend is an entertaining, engaging movie with an interesting storyline. in fact, the premise is brilliant and could have been done in all kinds of different ways. What is engaging about the movie is that though a super-heroine and her powers are at the centre of the action, the other characters are guy or gal next door. We can all identify with this kind of situation. Many of us have been in it, but we can only imagine what it would be like if the ex- girlfriend had the powers of a super-heroine - or we can watch My Super Ex-Girlfriend. To say this movie is in any way sexist is absurd. More sexy than sexist. The scene above Times Square fulfils a long held fantasy of mine. I loved the New York setting and there are some great views of the city. For me, all the actors were great, especially Uma Thurman. Saw it on Film4 in the UK, 8 Jan 11.

I was kind of a skeptical (though I liked the trailer and the story) when I started watching it, and after few minutes I thought that I was right and I'm going to be dragged in boredom and average jokes, but... I was terribly wrong luckily.The film makes a sudden twist and from out of nowhere it became funny, witty and I was drowned in it enjoying a lot. It was everything that trailer promised and more, and the actors did an excellent job, Thurman was dangerous, sweet, sexy, psycho, pitiful, funny... Wilson, hilarious trapped in uncomfortable relationship. The supporting cast did a great job too, except for the "villain" who was kind of out of place.Toward the end, the question "how this is going to end?" appeared, a very rare thing for a romcom since the characters and story were well developed. Unfortunately the director didn't had the courage to make a more mature ending suitable for the decade and goes for the first thing on his mind, back in the 1980's cliché and makes a serious damage to a potentially outstanding romantic comedy.Overall I recommended. It's fun and had original story... and... Oh... yeah ...the scene with the shark was awesome.
