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

Sadly 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 prods him to break up with her, she uses her super powers to make him really, really regret dumping her. There was nothing at all interesting about either character.
Luke Wilson's Matt was stereotypical Luke Wilson. An adorable, average ... Read More:

This 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 a live_Great White Shark_through the window of a high rise apartment was just so insanely off the wall, surreal, idiotic and unexpected, I just had to laugh in utter amazement at the writers' obvious derangement. It's a little blue for a cartoonish ... Read More:

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 it!

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 doesn't slice and dice anybody in this one!
But when somebody made a crack about her big feet, he regretted it!

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 I do- teenagers. Lots and lots of teenagers.
You'll recognize some of the stars from the movie from the hit TV show the Office.
I admit I laughed at some of the exaggerated scenes, such as the superwoman and her ... Read More:
