Profile of My Super Ex-Girlfriend

My Super Ex-Girlfriend can be described as offbeat and humorous. The plot revolves around superhuman powers, superheroes, and vengeance. The main genres are comedy and romance. In terms of style, My Super Ex-Girlfriend stars a strong female character. It is located in New York. It takes place in contemporary times. My Super Ex-Girlfriend is well suited for a date night and teens. Note that it involves sexual content and profanity.

Summary of My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Beneath every superhero facade lies a real, often-misunderstood person. That is the lesson at the heart of MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND, a supernatural 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. 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 (THE OFFICE's Rainn Lewis), 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 supernatural proportions.

Washington Post

The two starring performances are spot on. Wilson gets the tone that screenwriter Don Payne so expertly evokes: It's a weird sort of self-aware despicability...Thurman is beautiful, fearless and perfectly believable as a superhero. Full Review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Funnier than "Nacho Libre," more fashionable than "The Devil Wears Prada," able to deliver more revengeful thrills than "X-Men: The Last Stand" in a single scene, My Super Ex-Girlfriend may sound like a midsummer mash of "The Break-Up" and... Full Review

Good premise, not-so-good acting

Although the humor is carefully constructed from situations, I felt that Thurman's character was unsure of what emotion to express. Perhaps that was intended, but it falls flat. Read and rate it

I'm starting to think that renting movies simply because you like the actors in them is not a good idea. The cast is what led me to renting this movie, but after an hour into this, I found it impossible to keep watching. It is simply too ridiculous... Read and rate it
