    Should have been much better but it was a welcome relief after sitting through countless Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez chick flicks! Eddie Izzard is wasted though!

    A fairly decent turn at a rom-com with a difference. Has some funny scenes with a super hero girl who turns nasty after being broken up with. Anna Faris is good in this. Worth a watch next time it's on TV.

    The film has a great premise. Super-hero is possessive and jealous within a relationship. I also think such a premise works best as a comedy, though a dark route would have also been interesting. The comedy just isn't that funny. One fantastic scene, which really takes advantage ...( read more)of the idea of a super hero ex-girlfriend getting revenge, shows Uma tossing a shark into Wilson's apartment. There aren't enough moments like this and perhaps the blossoming romance between Wilson and Faris is more of a dull distraction. The acting is decent enough for a film of this type. Wilson is just himself. Uma, Unfortunately, went her OTT forced cheese route that she used in Batman and Robin. Nice to see Faris as something other than a dumb blonde and Eddie Izzard, though likable, seems out of place at times. Fast and enjoyable, but takes a while to get going and then plays it safe.

    I like Rainn Wilson from the Office and he was ok in this, not great, but ok. Anna Faris also had an ok supporting role. But I'm not a fan of Uma or Luke so I couldn't connect with the romantic couple. This wasn't as funny or super as I expected.

    A romantic comedy that won't cause fatal damage to the male brain.

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

There's a funny idea here, but you might not know it from Don Payne's script, or, for that matter, from Ms. Thurman's performance. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

My Super Ex-Girlfriend, simply by having a genuinely funny idea at its core, is one of the summer's better comedies, and director Ivan Reitman and the cast give it a straight-faced silliness. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

If the script for this comic spin on Fatal Attraction were only a tenth as hot as Uma Thurman, director Ivan Reitman might have had something here. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post

There are about 20 minutes worth of decent sketch comedy here, which means this one beats the summer's other Wilson brother comedy, You, Me and Dupree. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

My Super Ex-Girlfriend lampoons conventional comic book movies and relationship films by nudging its needy title character into the Manhattan singles market. It's a silly premise, and it works beautif... full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a romantic comedy from a stereotypically masculine perspective. full review

    (2006 Director Ivan Reitman) Uma Thurman is marvelous in this one! Great supporting cast... funy funny! If you saw the previews then you know Uma has superhuman powers. Yes definitely"campy"....for the sci fi, satire lovers!! Predictable sexual humor...Luke Wilson's character is not UP for the task of a girl friend, much less a super hero girlfriend!!

    I really didn't like this movie. Whilst it had the occasional chuckle, it really wasn't worth the money to go and see. The acting was semi-decent, but the plot was thin and dull.
