My Super Ex-Girlfriend (DVD)

Uma Thurman stars as the girlfriend (and later the ex-girlfriend) of a guy, and she also turns out to be the city's superhero, saving them from several disatsers including a burning building and an out-of-control missile.

When she becomes a bit too needy, she is dumped and then puts her powers to use to punish him for ditching her.

Thurman is brilliant, funny and beautiful in this role and is an entertaining movie with plenty of comedy and a generally good story. But despite it's appeal, it does feel a bit silly. I had friends over to see this and felt a little embarassed with the choice in the end. Nevertheless, an enjoyable movie perhaps for a couple or for the family to enjoy, a good laugh.

Great DVD starring the lovely Uma Thurman. Great friday night in DVD. Interesting storyline, so i wont give the game away you will have to watch it.

An average film, watchable but not an all time great. It could have been a very good film although never quite managed to pull it off, the story starts out well although from about half way through the film becomes unbelievable and slightly weird.

i like my super ex-girlfriend cause it is very funny and i am collecting uma thurmans films. the dvd itself is in very good condition aswell as the case it came in.

Really funny and thoroughly enjoyable - a bit like Superman and predictable but would certainly recommend and watch again when want a laugh and cheering up

Glad I never saw at cinema, 90 minutes I'll never get back again. Yes - plenty of stars and decent cinematography but, weak humour and lousy plot. One to avoid sadly.

The title had me immediately and the concept is so cool. However, any man who watches this will spend half the movie wetting himself with laughter, and the other half wetting himself in fear that his girlfriend turns out to be half as neurotic and unhinged as this one.
Eddie Izard palys his role as the secret lover turned anti-hero woh has a love/hate thing going on with our super-hero - or is it super-heroine ?
A great night-in with the wife/husband or girlfriend/boyfriend type film.

Might even prove a great Icebreaker for Marriage Guidance sessions !

The neurotic vengeful ex-girlfriend/bunny boiler but with SUPERPOWERS, terrific concept executed quite well by a very good cast. I love this kind of film.
9/10

I found this film easy to watch, and with the girlfriend watching it too, there was a lot of laughs. Not the most brainy film, however if you take it for what it is a comedy, then you will love it too.

There is pleanty of attractive people in the film too which helps, and not really knowning what the film was about, I really enjoyed it.

Movie description below:

My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a 2006 film released on July 21, 2006. The film is a "romantic comedy with a superhero twist". It was directed by Ivan Reitman and stars Luke Wilson, Uma Thurman, Anna Faris, Wanda Sykes, Rainn Wilson, and Eddie Izzard.

Frustrated by his lack of progress in asking out secret crush Hannah (Anna Faris), Matt (Luke Wilson) starts dating shy stranger Jenny (Uma Thurman). After several dates, Jenny displays increasingly neurotic and aggressive behavior, becoming more demanding and ultimately injuring Matt during the first time they have sex. Soon after, Jenny reveals to him that she is in fact a superhero, G-Girl, who accidentally absorbed powers such as invulnerability, heat vision and super-senses after she was exposed to a crashed meteorite as a teenager.

As Matt and Hannah's friendship develops further, and after becoming aggravated with Jenny's escalating jealousy, Matt ends the relationship. An angered Jenny vows to make Matt regret the decision, using her superpowers to publicly embarrass him, throwing his car into space and eventually causing him to lose his job. Professor Bedlam (Eddie Izzard), a former boyfriend of Jenny and now G-Girl's arch-nemesis, contacts Matt in order to enlist his aid in defeating her. Matt refuses and makes plans to leave the city. As he does so he is contacted by Hannah, and after confessing their feelings to one another, they end up in bed.

Jenny (as G-Girl) discovers them in bed the next day and attacks the pair with a great white shark. Angered, Matt contacts Professor Bedlam and agrees to help him defeat her, as long as Bedlam retires from being a supervillain. He instructs Matt to lure Jenny to a meeting where she can be exposed to a piece of the meteorite which gave her superpowers, telling Matt that this will draw away her powers, leaving her a mere mortal. Matt agrees and meets Jenny for a candlelit dinner at his apartment, under the pretence of wanting to resume their relationship. However, Hannah arrives to see Jenny sitting on Matt's lap. The two women fight, and in the struggle Jenny's superhero identity is revealed to Hannah. Bedlam's trap is sprung, and the energy that gave Jenny her powers is drained back into the meteorite, incapacitating Jenny.

Professor Bedlam appears, but reveals that he has no intention of keeping his promise to retire from villainy and in fact plans to take the powers for himself. While he and Matt fight, Jenny crawls to the charged meteorite attempting to regain her powers; Hannah intervenes just as Jenny grabs the meteorite, which explodes in a burst of power. Both Hannah and Jenny are catapulted off the roof, apparently to their deaths; however, Jenny appears within seconds, powers restored, threatening even more mayhem. Only the unexpected reappearance of Hannah -- also exposed to the meteorite's energies and now also possessing the same powers as G-Girl -- saves Matt.
The second fight between Hannah and Jenny is a full-on super-brawl, destroying part of the neighboring properties. RAN OUT OF ROOM TO REVIEW

An interesting comedy which has borrowed sensibility from Superman and
adapted ideas for it's own use.
Uma Thurman play's a great part, good job all ex-girlfriends don't have
her powers! ( the shark was a great idea!)
Well worth a viewing, very good effects, and a plot! often missing in
some films these day's.

My super ex girlfriend was a good film to watch and had a great story to it. it was a film that the whole family enjoyed to watch and was very exiting to be watching on our own dvd.

Hollywood has a habit of making rubbish comedies as of late. However, this is not one of them. At 1hr 30 minutes, I think this is just the right length and I think that this should be the limit for ALL comedies unless your source material has such depth to make it nearly 2 hours, such a Four Weddings and a funeral.

This is good clean adult fun (no swearing-refreshing...)with more than 5 laughs so this is definitely a comedy in my book. The acting is very good and well timed with a great script to boot. The bed scenes are inspired.

Directed by Ivan Reitman, (Ghostbusters,Stripes) you should know you're in good hands and you are. Watching it is effortless, holding the attention and he doesn't give you time for the mind to wander. We need more good ones like this Ivan!!

Uma Thurman is sexy as always and funny. Luke Wilson is just superb at this sort of thing and was excellent in "Old school revisted". His demented and sexually misdemeanoured best pal played by Rainn Wilson is superbly funny. The scene where he whacks Wilson with a Newspaper at the back of his head is one of the funniest bits of Hollywood tom-foolery in a long long time. (small things for small minds hmm?) Wilson's look on his face that he knows he should be getting it on with his very sexy female work colleague played by Anna Faris. Damn she's hot...Eddie Izzard is well cast as Dr.Evil (or whatever he's called). Underplayed and all the more better for it.

All is all a brilliant original well written and directed comedy that I have watched a few times now. I sniggered, smiled and gut laughed all the way through.

Come on Hollywood, make more decent comedies that can stand the test of time. Ghostbusters and Stripes certainly did...

my super ex girlfriend is a film about, a man that went out with a lass then broke up with her. then she came back 4 her revenge but she was stuck in her tracks, but you will find that out when you watch it ok from charlene (charvachick2007)

My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a fun little flick. It's not flawless and it sure isn't brilliant, but it offers a clever spin on some age-old rom-com conventions, delivers a colorful zing of flashy super-heroics, and showcases a pretty fantastic cast of comedic actors, all of whom are clearly having some fun here.

this is a story about a superhero who finds love and becomes over interested then they split up and the comedy begins but its predictable
