Critic Reviews

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    ...A movie that would rather tweak male paranoia than liberate a nerdette terrified of her powers.

  • Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

    The Ivan Reitman-directed comedy manages to sap the charm from everyone in its cast, all of whom have shone quite brightly in other settings.

  • Robert Koehler, Variety

    The fusion of effects-fueled action fantasy with comedy worked well for director Ivan Reitman 22 years ago in Ghostbusters and, less so, five years ago in Evolution. But, it fails to save his latest, My Super Ex-Girlfriend.

  • 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.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    [Ivan Reitman's] funniest movie since Ghostbusters, and a riff on superhero mythology that plays like a mashup of Bewitched (the TV show, not the movie), The Breakup and Fatal Attraction.

    Welll this certanly stinks. It's just not okay. Nothing bad agains Luke or Uma. They're both allright. But who can perform under these conditions?

  • Jason R


    Inexplicably, I love this movie.

  • Jeff "


    My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a terrible film with a unique idea that could've been terrific. I feel that the film could have been much better if there was better talent involved. The cast didn't do anything for me, and I felt that jokes were stale, and most of the time,… More

    Quite funny! Uma Thurman plays a great obsessed ex-girlfriend, she was the funniest of the film.

  • Lady D


    Having very low expectations of this film, I was satisfied that it turned into a watchable no-brainer of a movie, with a few comical moments. An easy Sunday afternoon viewing with some funny moments which mostly come from Luke Wilson's comedy sidekick Rainn Wilson
