Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The acting in this movie is really good.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

So the first line I heard after the movie started was: "I would like to be able to suck my own dick".Not exactly the words used, but close enough.That just about tells you what this garbage movie is all about.The actors: Rainn Wilson - truly pathetic. Luke Wilson - mostly pathetic. Uma Thurman - wassup? Given up on good films, or didn't know what a pile of doo-doo this was?I was really looking forward to a funny film with good special effects and with Uma Thurman in it... so totally disappointed. Rainn Wilson should find something else to do. Acting is out. How about base jumping without a parachute?

This movie has an irresistible premise:Guy jilts girl with superpowers and she takes full force Fatal Attraction-style revenge on him, heat vision and all. Since it takes about half of the movie to set this all up, the early going is a bit slow and predictable, but even then the audience is well entertained by some very good superhero effects, a fun supervillain (Prof. Bedlam) and especially Uma's performance as a very neurotic single who hasn't dated much in order to protect her secret identity. Uma makes the movie, as nerdy Jenny Johnson / super-powered G-Girl in a convincing, sharp edged comic turn. Luke Wilson gives his usual doughnut hole performance as a supposed every-dude, but Rainn Wilson has a funny turn as a pig male hustler wannabe. Once the Revenge of the Ex action kicks into gear, things get really fun, and the fur really flies between Uma and Anna Faris as a competing super heroine.

Considering the concept and a cast that includes Luke Wilson, Uma Thurman, Anna Faris, Wanda Sykes and Rainn Wilson I was expecting something funny. 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend' has its moments in the first half but the writing is inconsistent and lacking in imagination. The characterization is also at fault. While the first half has some funny moments, largely thanks to the cast, the second half shifts from dreadful to abysmal. The movie neither works as a superhero action flick nor a romantic comedy. While the chemistry between Luke Wilson, Uma Thurman and Anna Faris is good, the whole Eddie Izzard track felt forced and out of place. Sykes is wasted and Rainn Wilson is cast as the clichéd horny geeky friend who rambles on about sex. Speaking of clichés, much of the humour is formulaic and over-the-top. I also found the change of haircolor from brown to blonde or blonde to red, the enlargement of breasts etc as they change from women to superheroine to be at least a bit superficial. Anyway, 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend' could have easily been better but it isn't much good now.

Jenny Johnson (Thurman) is sitting on train when Saunders (Wilson) tries to ask her out, in the middle of this a thug nick Johnson bag. Saunders gives chase and gets back the bag. Johnson is so thankful she agrees to go out with him. After dating for a bit Johnson tells Saunders her alter ego G-Girl. After tell him Johnson turns into a crazy jealous bitch so Saunders dumps her, she then makes his life a living hell.I decided i would skyplus this film for when i was bored and has nothing else to do. Looking at the cast i thought a film with Luke Wilson in would have lots of laugh out loud moments, how wrong could i have been. This film seems to just drag on, and made me just as bored if i was watching paint dry.As with most Rom Coms you know which character Matt Saunders would end up with after the 1st 10 minutes of the film. Also it you know that either the pretty girl will either have a fat friend or the man will have a not so good-looking pervert and the latter was true in this. The friend is normally the comic relief but i found the character annoying and not amusing.The only couple of funny moment (minor spoilers) are when G-girl flies so fast round the meeting room at all Saunders clothes come off so he stark naked in an important business meting and when Saunders and his super girlfriend are shagging so hard they make the bed go through the wall, much to his neighbour surprise.The two leads just seemed to be there for the money and really looked liked they couldn't be bothered how the film turned out and it showed, while Anna Faris seemed to play the normal Anna Faris character, the likable but dump-witted blond.The best character in the film was Carla Dunkirk played by Wanda Sykes. She only had two scenes in the film, but she played her feminist, up in the mans face well.I would recommend, that nobody buys or rents this film and only watch this film if you really really have nothing in your life better to do. 3/10Read more of my reviews here: http://cinemadvdreviews.blogspot.com/
