Movie Review: My Super Ex-Girlfriend

My wife and I had the pleasure to sit down and watch this movie Saturday night.

It stars Uma Thurman as Jenny Johnson, Art History gallery director by day, G-Girl, super heroine extrodanaire by night.

The star Actor is Luke Wilson, with supporting cast of Anna Faris, Rainn Wilson (from the office) and Eddie Izzard as the Arch-Nemisis to G-Girl.

This is a very quirky little movie that really never takes itself seriously as it should be.
G-Girl seems to have powers similar to Superman. Super fast, fly, invincible, etc.. and only a rock from outspace is her undoing.
But beyond the super powers, she has a couple of personality quirks, like being totally neurotic, jealous and oversensitive. (I've had a few girlfriends like this in the past, just without the superpowers.)

Luke, who plays Matt Saunders, does a fine job as the lead man, getting in well over his head first from G-Girl's ex-boyfriend, now arch-nemises Professor Bedlam. And then when he realizes he is in love with his co-worker Hannah (Anna Faris, who is totally hot.)

Matt finds out the hard way what a super-girl can do when spurned. He has his car thrown into orbit after the words 'You Suck' are etched on it. He has the word 'DICK' laser burned onto his forhead the day before a huge presentation. A shark thrown at him, after being caught in bed with Hannah.
The list goes on, until he decides to team up with Bedlam to get rid of her super-powers. More hilarity ensues leading up to a great cat-fight between G-Girl and Hannah.

I don't want to spoil any more for those who haven't seen it. But if you want a quirky funny movie, definetely put My Super Ex-Girlfriend in your Que on Netflix. You will not regret it unless you only like super serious movies.

Until later...
