Brief synopsis of My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) has dealt with his share of difficult women, but when he meets bookish beauty Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman), his instincts tell him this one is a whole new kind of trouble. After initially playing hard to get, Jenny quickly latches onto Matt, professing her love to him before their relationship has even hit the one-week mark. While infatuated by her aggressive lovemaking and voluptuous figure, Matt is wary of her strange, clinging ways, and decides to call it quits just days after discovering that Jenny's alter ego is G-Girl. Breaking up with a superhero presents quite a few challenges, as Jenny readily cashes in on her inhuman strength for the purpose of getting even. Making things even more complicated are Matt's best buddy, Vaughn (Rainn Wilson), who is always there to offer relationship advice despite his unlucky ways with women, and possible love interest Hannah (Anna Faris). If being rejected by Matt doesn't push her over the edge, Matt's attempts to move on will, with things between Matt, Hannah, G-Girl, and her arch-nemesis, super villain Professor Bedlam (Eddie Izzard), erupting in an all-out war of superhuman proportions. Beneath every superhero facade lies a real, often-misunderstood person. That is the lesson at the heart of MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND, a romantic comedy in which a jealous ex-girlfriend's rage reaches terrifying heights thanks to the fact that she also happens to be G-Girl, a sexy superhero who serves as the object of many male fantasies while routinely saving New York City from disasters like fires, thieves, and fast-approaching missiles. Luke Wilson and Uma Thurman turn in super performances as the former couple and Eddie Izzard makes a memorable appearance as Professor Bedlam.

Rated - 2 starsNot so super

Mbub from Westbury, Wilts , 04/07/2007

A man goes out with a girl he meets on a train, not knowing that she is really a superhero, but because of her fits of madness he drops her, but she wants revenge. This wasn't the best of films for me. I liked to superhero bits and after the main guy dumps the hero it gets better, but even though the movies called 'My Super EX-girlfriend' it takes over an hour for him to dump her, so most of the movie is taken up with him going out with her, which doesn't make much sense. Anyway, 2 stars for some good bits, but theres not that many.

Rated - 2 starsDon't bother

This is a real missed opportunity, the set-up is comedy gold but the makers have forgotten to put any comedy in. Instead we are bombarded with noisy special effects, a weak script, a mis-cast Eddie Izzard and are left no wiser as to why Uma Thurman's character is the way she is.

My wife described it as 'cack'. That was a super review.

My brother said it was 'hilarious' but he is an idiot.

Rated - 3 starsMy Super 'average' Ex-Girlfriend

A customer from Aylesbury Bucks , 16/06/2007

Worth a rent if you want to watch something that won't tax your brain.

Not as funny as the trailer suggests.
