Editorial Review:
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The other side of stalking
Certainly not the worst Bizarro Superman type story that I've heard of.
The problem is that with great powers doesn't always come a great personality. OJ Simpson and Alexander the Great are two good male examples.
Peter Milk-toast is in trouble with super-woman, because he finally realized
he loved his office best friend. ( he's very lucky in that she returns the favor). The ending is altogether strange with animated comedy credits following.
It is nice that Uma Thurman ... Read More
Rating: - cheesy entertainment
This is probably one of the cheesiest storylines you could ever have for a movie. Unfotunately it's also not a movie children should see, because it focuses heavily on sex scenes. Not necessarily showing them, but talking about it quite often, that kids would get curious and ask the parents questions about the subject. Not a good idea.
I don't know what kind of person would mostly be interested in watching a superhero woman going around the city and saving the people from trouble... ... Read More
Rating: - My Super Ex-Girlfriend
This is lighweight fun. Reasonably funny, romantic, and overall good story, it is at the very least worth a rental. If you go in for wacky comedys like "Shallow Hal" or "Blades of Glory", you will probably enjoy it. Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson team up nicely in this romantic comedy about a jilted Super Woman. The film never takes anything to seriously and it works. Afterall if you were threatened with a chainsaw up your backside, how would you feel if someone with super powers made that threat? You ...

Rating:  - Avoid "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"
I recommend avoiding "My Super Ex-Girlfriend." I have a high tolerance for camp in a movie (I loved Scooby Doo and its sequel), but I disliked it here. I didn't actually walk out, so it was diverting enough, but the intellectual equivalent of salty popcorn with not enough butter -- tasty, but not actually good for you.
Previously, I would have said you can't have enough lingerie-clad superheroines fighting each other in a movie. Now I have found a limit, and it is Uma Thurman. She ... Read More
Rating: - IT'S FUNNY BUT...
This movie was funny but it's not exciting. The story was not good, however something missed. The fighting scene was nice but it's not specified.
