Editorial Review: Description: SUPERstars Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson deliver unstoppable fun in this hilarious hit comedy directed by Ivan Reitman (Stripes, Meatballs). Matt Saunders (Wilson) thinks he's found the perfect girlfriend in Jenny Johnson (Thurman), who just happens to be smart, sexy...and a superhero. But when Jenny turns out to be a needy, neurotic mess, Matt wants to call it quits. Jenny is crushed by the news and will stop at nothing to exact sweet revenge. It's an outrageous super-comedy that proves breaking up can be hard to do—and downright dangerous! Amazon.com: 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:  - i wish g-girl that thrown a shark AT MESadly enough, it was largely unfunny and uninteresting. I love Uma Thurman and I love Luke Wilson, but apparently they are two great tastes that do not taste great together. I am curious as to what it was about the script that attracted them. Uma Thurman plays Jenny Johnson, a single, lonely artist, and her alter ego -- the super hero G-Girl. Jenny begins dating Matt (Luke Wilson), revealing her alter ego over the course of their relationship, and after her insane, neurotic, girl-jealousy ... Read More Rating: - A Battle of the sexes where one of them can flyThis movie had a funny premise- imagine if your emotionally disturbed, paranoid, violent, neurotic basket-case of an ex-girlfriend also has super powers- and I think it was pulled off tolerably well. Mind you, a lot of it was definitely uncreative assembly-line humor so typical of Hollywood comedy, but I actually laughed out loud at some of the lines, as well as at the sheer unabashed silliness of the movie. I mean, that part where Uma Thurman tried to kill Luke Wilson and his new girlfriend by throwing ... Read More Rating: - Don't let 3 stars fool you!I loved this movie. It was exactly what i expected. I've seen movies like this in the past that really took themselves too seriously. This movie gets everything right. It's all about this guy who finds out his unbalanced girlfriend has superpowers. Of course, she uses them to ruin his life. This movie works mostly because of the cast. Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson play wonderfully off each other. They even threw in Wanda Sykes to up the comedic value. This movie never gets old, I no because i keep watching ... Read More Rating:  - The other side of stalkingCertainly 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 doesn't slice ... 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... oh wait, yeah ...
