G-Girl (Uma Thurman) is a superhero saving the day in New York. Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) is a mild-mannered project manager designing buildings. Vaughn Haige (Rainn Wilson) is his inappropriate hound-dog best friend. He starts dating Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman) who eventually reveals her true identity. She had been high school friends with Barry turned nemesis Bedlam (Eddie Izzard). She started going out with other boys after touching a meteorite which turned her super. After a dinner with co-worker Hannah Lewis (Anna Faris), G-Girl turns super-jealous and becomes a super ex-girlfriend.This is a great concept but it's mostly missing the comedy. Uma can kick butt but she's not the one to deliver the comedy. Luke Wilson is forced to be the funny man but he's more of a straight man in a comedy duo. It could also be a little sexist that G-Girl turns into this crazy, jealous, irrational woman. Of course, that's in the title. I just think there is a better way to make this a lot funnier.

Look, up on the screen! Is it a bird, is it a plane, no, sorry folks, it's a dog and a very lame dog at that. In fact it's a very lame super-dog, that's Krypto isn't it? You see I'm a comic superhero fan and attracted by the title thought that this might be another entertaining spoof along the lines of "Mystery Men", but was I ever wrong.The humour is forced, the acting over-indulgent, especially Uma Thurman as the super-jealous heroine Jenny / G Girl, the special effects are just okay, the story is uninvolving and the characters a pretty unlikeable lot too. Besides the flaky Thurman there's also Owen Wilson's crude, sexist flat-mate, while Eddie Izzard picks up an easy pay-day for doing not very much. The film is aimed of course at teenagers which is probably why so much of the if-it's-not- vulgar-it's-childish humour missed me by a generation or two. In fact the only super- heroism here was by me, sitting through it till the end.

I'll keep this short. This movie is not good. My Super Ex-Girlfriend sounds like it could have some potential, but ends up living up to none of it. The movie is just a cliché of every Romantic-Comedy that leans more towards comedy. Actresses like Uma Thurman just don't throw themselves into crap do they? (She might have done this to get out of contract or was obligated, I don't know.)It has all your typical ingredients for that genre; You have your soft spoken, semi- successful, if not weak male protagonist. Add a dash of quirky, wanna-be-womanizer best friend. Then there is your most necessary ingredient to the more "comedic" Romantic- Comedies, the independent, strong and strong character woman protagonist friend(s). Add a side of a threat to the Protagonsts' relationship, in this case, another woman, as usual that woman is a...co-worker.However I take it the writers of the movie changed the recipe a bit, skip the courting of the Male-Female and turn the Female into the antagonist! Also, give her super powers. That's really the WHOLE movie. This bland and mediocre comedy crap goes by so fast because it's predictable. Also it feels as though there is so little character development that the movie does end up movie too fast. It's roughly 90m but feels like a 30m sitcom...on cable.It also feels like a sitcom because there's a lot of ads in the middle, at some points during the movie I was seriously contemplating the idea that this movie was literally made only for Product Placement! It's downright pathetic. The acting isn't actually bad though, even Uma Thurman's character, however poorly developed and shallow is acted as well as it possibly could. Nothing that stands out though, except Eddie Izzard's HORRIBLE "American Accent." He can't do it, period. He must have had trouble doing the accent, as the British accent pops in & out randomly during his few lines.So let me just bluntly say a few words to describe this movie. Corny, fast paced, empty, hollow, shallow and mediocre. Cheap, predictable, cliché and advertisement. I recognize those people. The movie is over already? I'll never get those two hours back.

When I first heard about the premise for "My Super Ex-Girlfriend", I thought it sounded pretty promising. A super hero with relationship problems? It's ripe for humor. Then the bad reviews came out for it, and I lost interest in watching it. But when it came on TV recently, I decided to give it a look, since I wouldn't be wasting money if it turned out to be bad.To be fair, the movie does have its moments. There is a funny parody of the romantic Superman/Lois Lane night flight from the first "Superman" movie, and there is also a funny scene when the city is in danger from a missile but the female superhero character wants to ignore it over a night out on the town. I could probably find a few other moments that score with a little more thought, but the negativity I found in the movie outweighs the positive stuff. One problem is that the movie sets up the situation in an often awkward way. The presence of the superwoman is taken for granted and it's not detailed how society views her. The super villain of the movie is described as her enemy, but we don't SEE this for the longest time.There are additional script problems that further sink the enterprise. I didn't really care for the male lead character or any of his associates. They all act goofy in a way that's annoying and not endearing. Also, the movie seems very drawn out, even though it runs only 96 minutes long. It should have been more snappy in its pace. Director Ivan Reitman doesn't seem to know what the movie's tone should have been like. It doesn't help that the outfit providing the movie's special effects doesn't seem ready for a big budget feature film - the effects look like they were made for a TV show.This movie doesn't make the ultimate sin a movie can make - by being boring. However, I think most viewers will find the movie simply unfunny and with nobody to care about. Skip this one.
