My Super Ex-Girlfriend (DVD, 2006, Dual Side)

My Super Ex-Girlfriend - Decent but not great.

I love Uma Thurman and I'm a big fan of Luke Wilson, but MY Super Ex-Girlfriend fell short of my expectations, and my expectations weren't that high to begin with.

I thought it'd be a lot funnier than it was (all the funny parts are basically in the previews). Thurman and Wilson are great but this film doesn't give them much to work with.

I guess they did the best job they could, but it wasn't enough for me to not reach for the fast forward button during certain dragged out scenes.

Final Verdict:

3/5

Rent or Buy?: This one is just a rental in my opinion. I won't be watching it again, it just wasn't fun, or funny enough.

IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.

This romantic comedy, (brought to us from the makers of "Meatballs" & "Stripes") is intended to "entertain", make us smile; laugh and just enjoy a fun story. "My Super-Ex Girlfriend" achieves exactly that.
With a great twist on story-material, (Luke Wilson) had been quite entranced in his newfound girlfriend Jenny's attractive figure, intense love-making and sexy appeal. Jenny, meanwhile is busy on her alter-ego side as New York City's Superhero., chasing down thieves, robbers; putting out devastating fires and stopping fast guided missles; all in the name of good!
Jenny's personal life with Matt gets turned up as she latches on to him, professing her love.... but turned off by her rapid attachment to him, Matt (Luke Wilson) has found reason to break off his relationship. He is In-Love with a co-worker. Well, Jenny is not going to go quietly!
Jenny has a wild, needy, neurotic side that has comes unleashed and she will use ALL her superpowers to exact revenge, damage and destruction on her former love, to "teach him" for dumping her!....and maybe get him back?
After all, she's a Superhero for crying-out-loud!!!
The special-effects are laid in thick, stressing (Thurman's) Superhero capabilities. Luke Wilson & Uma Thurman both play their roles exceptionally well. Great acting goes into this simple romantic-comedy with a fun-filled spin. It is a very cute, fun-loving movie to watch. You can't be disappointed, if you go into this expecting the right things. - (It isn't an Installment in "Batman", "Superman" or "Spiderman" -- serious-based big-screen hits right from the pages of the Comics.)
This is a fun-filled spin on "How Would You Break-Up With You Girlfriend Nicely, If She Was A Superhero? - Or would you really want to?" -- Fun Movie!! Worth All the Laughs !! -- Ingenious Original Funny Concept !!

I thought this was an enjoyable movie with a couple surprises and not as predictable as you might think. I started watching it planning NOT to like it and ended up totaly enjoying it. Its a light hearted feel good comedy great for making anyone laugh.

Not a serious bone in its' silly little body. Pure fun. And of course, I would watch Uma Thurman read the phone book.

I am a big fan of Uma, and I would agree that this movie was GREAT!! I bought it as soon as it came out in stores. Uma Thurman does an outstanding job in this film. Along with Luke Wilson together they are great. Full of laughter and action. I reccomend this film to anybody who even thinks they would like to see it. I give it a 5 out of 5. GO and watch it!

Poor Matt Saunders hasn't had a date for six months, is lonely, and the girl he loves (Hannah, a co-worker) is dating someone else. Enter Jenny. Matt sees her on the subway and with a little encouragement from his womanizing best friend Vaughn, decides to ask her out. She coldly rejects him at first; but when Jenny's purse gets snatched and Matt gives chase, her resolve melts and she agrees to go on a dinner date with him.

Matt finds out quickly that Jenny is a bit off, but ignores all of the warning bells going off in his head. A little romance and wild sex ensues, and soon Jenny takes Matt into her confidence, letting him know that she's really G-Girl, their city's superhero. Matt is relieved, chalking her previous bizarre behavior up to the fact that she was keeping this amazing and titillating secret from him.

Unfortunately, a spade is still a spade, and Jenny is still nuts, and controlling, and horribly jealous! When a botched double-date leaves Matt alone with both Jenny and Hannah at the same time, Matt finally accepts the truth: Jenny's too quirky and neurotic for him and Hannah is the woman he truly loves. When Matt finally finds the courage to break up with Jenny, she immediately becomes the ex-girlfriend from Krypton hell! There's just nothing quite like a superhero scorned!

A caveat here: this is not the movie to watch if you are looking for depth and the meaning of life. It is the movie to watch if you want a good laugh, and something to take your mind off of your troubles for awhile. It's silly and ridiculous, but it's also great fun. I found myself laughing out loud more than once at Jenny's hilarious acts of vengeance; vengeance that could only be enacted by a superhero, of course! Uma Thurman does a wonderful job portraying nutty-as-a-fruitcake Jenny, and Luke Wilson is adorable, and perfect as the slightly timid put-upon boyfriend. The rest of the characters are well-cast as well. As for the ending, it will definitely put a smile on your face. “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” is a delightful movie all the way around.

It doesn't matter WHAT she plays in, Uma ALWAYS delivers an unbelievably life-like character!!! She's such a versatile actress, any shoes she puts on, she fills to the max!!! THIS movie is funny, and anyone who disagrees has absolutely NO TASTE whatsoever!!! UMA ROCKS!!!

I liked it, it wasnt the best movie I have seen but it was pretty good. I dont mind it being in my collection.

Great Movie! Had some kinda goofy parts, but on the most part it was very enjoyable to watch! I will definately watch it more!

My super ex girlfriend was a pleasure to watch, especially the part where she throws the shark through the window. I don't regret my purchase. I enjoyed that movie. It got to me in perfect condition.

I thought it was a cute movie. Watching Uma Thurman's face and seeing the range of emotions she displays when she goes from loving girlfriend to revengeful girlfriend in a single scene is great. It's a silly movie, but fun to watch. I think most folks will like it and guys will identify with the situtation.

The actors play their parts well. They fit the character they're playing. I rented the movie and liked it so I bought a copy.

This was an awesome movie. I decided to buy this movie because I had rented it before and I liked it. I am a huge fan of Anna Faris, and I have seen most of her movies, as well as most of Uma Thurman's movies as well.
Overall, I was impressed with this movie, and I think that most men can relate to the situations in this film. After all, what man hasn't fantasized about dating a supermodel or celebrity? Certainly a superhero would fall into that category. And to upset the superhero by dumping her is what made this movie so entertaining. Can you imagine upsetting a needy, neurotic superhero? People like this are scary enough without having super powers.
I definitely recommend this movie to anyone that wants a good laugh. It is well worth the money spent.

This is a good movie to show us men what would really happen to us when women has power. But even when they don't have the power as a super human, they still tend to do the same thing. If you ever broke up with a woman that tried to get revenge on you, this is the movie to watch..

I found lots of types of DVDs I wanted and that I didn't find in my country. Everything was all right and excellent. The DVDs were good as new like you buy them from shops.

Thanks very much and I'm sure I will buy again!

I like the simplicity of this movie, just the kind of way people meet and can carry on. Did not care for the break up, was unusual for the way the other guy was portrayed and how it ended up. Overall this movie was okay, but not a great movie for me.

I remember seeing a few previews for this movie, ended up buying it for no realy reason. It turned out to be actually a really good movie. It was different and itneresting.

Great movie,actors,plot line &,special effects. Kick back on your couch,get out the popcorn and enjoy!!!

Lean more toward the funny side then the ooh it's Uma side..this movie is somewhat funny in it's own little miserable way..Uma stars as a Super hero who just wants to have a normal day with a normal love in her life..as she tries to force love out of her subway hero..he gets turned off by her quirky (for lack of a nicer phrase) actions! As he realizes his secret love is also his true love now he must break it off with his psycho super hero Gfriend..btw he finds that out shortly before breaking it off..there are some funny scenes and some ooh that had to hurt scenes, if you are a devout Uma fan you will think this movie is first rate, but if you are a movie buff like me you wont be soo convinced..I give this flick 2 out of 5 bars!!

This movie is hilarious! It truely shows how crazy ex's can be.. not just girls are like this but men seem to be crazy like this as well! Most of all shows you men how much you don't need to play with our emotions and screw us over!! we can get crazy.

This is a very funny movie. Uma Thurman is spectacular! G-Girl falls in love with a very average guy but when trouble occurs in their relationship the trouble begins. She reminds her ex-boyfriend of her broken heart whenever she can. Great date movie!

I love the rough sex scenes that make the bed go through the wall of one apartment into the next. Then at the end there are two super girls that help to save the world.

there is something wrong with you.Shy girl stsrts going with an average guy.Little does he know that she has super powers and consistantly saves the world from evil.After he finds out he sort of embracs it.Yet he finds the personality of his new found girlfriend to demanding.After breaking up with her he feels the wrath.How can you fix this situatiton to everyones likeing?Good acting.
