A regular guy finds out just how hard breaking up can truly be when attempting to call it quits with a clingy female crime fighter who doesn't want to let love die in director Ivan Reitman's super-pow... read more read more...ered romantic comedy. Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) was looking for love when he first met pretty brunette Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman), and at the time it seemed as if he may had finally actually found it. Jenny isn't just your typical girl, though, because despite her outwardly normal appearance she is actually a powerful superhero dedicated to ridding the streets of crime. Her outward strength betrays a deep-rooted insecurity, too, and when Jenny begins to become a bit too possessive for Matt's laid-back taste, the troubled boyfriend does his best to end the relationship amicably. They say that breaking up isn't easy to do, however, and when your girlfriend is a superhero, that sentiment holds twice the truth as it does under any normal circumstances. Matt is determined to get on with his life, though, and as his budding romance with beautiful co-worker Hannah (Anna Faris) begins to get serious, jealous Jenny scornfully slips into G-Girl mode to prove that hell hath no fury like a woman superhero scorned. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Welll this certanly stinks. It's just not okay. Nothing bad agains Luke or Uma. They're both allright. But who can perform under these conditions?

    Inexplicably, I love this movie.

    My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a terrible film with a unique idea that could've been terrific. I feel that the film could have been much better if there was better talent involved. The cast didn't do anything for me, and I felt that jokes were stale, and most of the time, unfunny. The... read more concept of the story is interesting, but the actors here are mediocre and don't do anything unique. I laughed a few times, but once the film was over, I felt like I wasted my time overall. Ivan Reitman has had a great career, but with this film, it makes it to his forgettable films list. There's not much going on here, except for bad acting and forced jokes that aren't funny most of time. I love comedies, but My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a failed attempt at creating something very funny. Instead My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a disappointment and is a film thats easily forgettable. There's nothing going on in this film, and the end result is pretty pointless. A comedy that simply doesn't work, My Super Ex-Girlfriend is simply a bad film that you realize could have been better with a better cast and a better script. The idea is good, but theres nothing really good here to be entertained. A pointless, boring and most of the time, unfunny film.

    Quite funny! Uma Thurman plays a great obsessed ex-girlfriend, she was the funniest of the film.
  • January 26, 2011
    Having very low expectations of this film, I was satisfied that it turned into a watchable no-brainer of a movie, with a few comical moments.

    An easy Sunday afternoon viewing with some funny moments which mostly come from Luke Wilson's comedy sidekick Rainn Wilson

    It was okay. Nothing I haven't seen before. Luke Wilson was terrible in this movie! I expected better of him. The action is cool but most of the comedy has been used.

    Grade: C-

    OMFG this is probably the most cheesiest and most rubbish superhero movie ive seen since the avengers with ralph fiennes!
    the storyline is ridiculas and is just annoying cringing to watch! its not even funny either!
    A really terrible movie that should be avoided at all costs!

    I really just like the IDEA of the film.
    This movie is a lot like popcorn: It was fun at first, but after a while I just got sick of it. (RIP Mitch Hedberg)

...A movie that would rather tweak male paranoia than liberate a nerdette terrified of her powers. Full Review

The Ivan Reitman-directed comedy manages to sap the charm from everyone in its cast, all of whom have shone quite brightly in other settings.

The fusion of effects-fueled action fantasy with comedy worked well for director Ivan Reitman 22 years ago in Ghostbusters and, less so, five years ago in Evolution. But, it fails to save his latest, ... Full Review

There's a funny idea here, but you might not know it from Don Payne's script, or, for that matter, from Ms. Thurman's performance. Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

[Ivan Reitman's] funniest movie since Ghostbusters, and a riff on superhero mythology that plays like a mashup of Bewitched (the TV show, not the movie), The Breakup and Fatal Attraction. Full Review

A less willfully misogynist movie might have made Thurman's double identity the starting place for an exploration of female power, super- or otherwise. Full Review

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

The movie is unable to achieve lift-off and transcend the formulaic stuff coming out of Hollywood, despite the perfect casting of Uma Thurman, emboldened by a killer image from Kill Bill, in the title... Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

If the script for this comic spin on Fatal Attraction were only a tenth as hot as Uma Thurman, director Ivan Reitman might have had something here.

Carrie Rickey

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

This sophomoric mix of the supernatural and screwball from Ivan Reitman is diverting, cheesy fun, with Thurman's G-Girl as a droll combination of Superwoman and Uber Shrew.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

For all its many shortcomings, this old-school laugher is a pleasure to sit through. Full Review
