It is obvious that Superman inspires the entire concept of this movie. Our hero (or rather heroine) is G-Girl/Jenny Johnson portrayed by the ever-gorgeous Uma Thurman and Matt Saunders is in the Lous Lane's role, as G-Girl's lover. G-Girl's nemesis is Prof. Bedlum (Eddie Izzard), who only motivation is to find the kryptonite to rid G-Girl of her powers.
Even though G-Girl boasts super abilities like zipping through the sky in Mach speed, having laser vision, ultra-hearing and is bulletproof, do not expect her to save the day. In fact, our Heroine here is seen to be abusing her powers: Having sex with her boyfriend while punching through the clouds; throwing a shark at her ex-boyfriend; devastated her ex-boyfriends properties, including sending his car into outer space. Yes, these are hilarious but when rationality set in as you walk out of the cinema, you may question the purpose of the whole outing.
As a date movie, My Super Ex-Girlfriend does not cause any heart-moving impact throughout. No lessons on love were earned here. As a comedy, it is somewhat restraint, probably due to the fact that the leading cast is not any veteran in ultra-foolish comedy. Anna Faris of the Scary Movies fame could have done a better job if she was placed in the anchor role. It is a pity that she has been diminished as a supporting cast in the movie.
The movie does have its moments, unfortunately, it is not a good enough effort from the man who gives us Ghostbusters and Evolution.
Rating: 2.5/5 stars
