While not particularly smart or funny, it's still thoroughly engaging.

Consensus: My Super Ex=Girlfriend is an only sporadically amusing spoof on the superhero genre that misses the mark with a nerd-turned-superwoman who embodies sexist clichés.
Theatrical Release:04-08-2006
Synopsis: Beneath every superhero facade lies a real, often-misunderstood person. That is the lesson at the heart of MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND, a supernatural romantic comedy in which a jealous ex-girlfriend's... [More]
Starring: Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson, Anna Faris, Eddie Izzard

Reviews for My Super Ex-Girlfriend
For Ivan Reitman, Ghostbusters continues to cast one hell of a shadow. Shame — if he’d managed to resist the lure of big, shiny FX, this could have worked as a very black comedy...

Top CriticAt one point, jealous Thurman tosses a live shark into Matt and Hannah’s love nest. Unwittingly plunged into this farrago, the shark earns my sympathy.
08/03/06
Top CriticWith such an amiable cast and lots of crisp dialogue, you can forgive the chinks in the armour.
08/01/06
Top CriticDirector Ivan Reitman is a good choice for this sort of thing - like Evolution, it's undeniably silly but extremely entertaining with it.
08/03/06
The good news is that My Super Ex-Girlfriend does actually end.

This is the kind of material that can only soar under the hand of a fully engaged filmmaker, not someone who is just punching the clock.
07/24/06
Mostly, MSEG is one of those movies that make you ask why: Why was it made? Why did Uma Thurman waste her time? And, most important, why is there 10 bucks missing from my pocket?
07/20/06
It's not terrible, but it's mediocre and not much more than a string of cheesy sex gags.
07/20/06
Days after I saw Ivan Reitman's latest fusion of action fantasy and comedy, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fashion sense surrounding our female superheroes.
08/02/06
It's doubtful that yet another depiction of a psychotically possessive harpy is a step forward for women, even if she does possess super powers instead of a 'Play Misty for Me' knife.
07/28/06
The likable cast and generally inspired mayhem make for a pleasant diversion.
08/14/06
If you're going for plot, My Super Ex-Girlfriend will disappoint, but if you're going for a light look at aspects of the superhero experience that most 'serious' genre entries ignore, the film delivers.
07/20/06
at heart a deeply misogynistic view of female empowerment.
08/02/07
Girlfriend skewers both superhero films and romantic comedies. And it does so with surprising deftness; Girlfriend is not only the funniest film of summer; it may be the best superhero film since Spider-Man.
07/20/06
Like those superheroes who hide their costumes under unassuming street clothes in order to protect their true identities, this likewise masks its intriguing subtext under the surface charms of a romantic comedy.
07/26/06
I didn't think it was possible, but here's a movie that hates women even more than the current season of TV's Rescue Me.
07/26/06
Ultimately, the star-power smoke screen withers, and you're left with a silly film, a couple of decent jokes, and an entirely too-predictable plot.
