Critics 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.

The idea is eminently infantile.

Austin Chronicle

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

Empire Magazine

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...

Rated: 2/5

Uma Thurman certainly throws herself into the role with energy and gusto.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend never really takes off into comedic deep space, but it's not exactly earthbound, either. A lot of this is funny stuff -- honest. Summer movie comedy lovers might have a similar reaction.

This is a Superman-inspired superhero movie. There are a lot of clichés but they were fine for its time.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a better Chick flick, than expected. Society wasn’t ready for this movie yet. Many of the performances are good for a rom-com about a female protagonist dealing with the stress of a normal life/superheroism and searching for the love of her life. Based on Supergirl , but grown up with adult problems and stress, this was at its time, the best superwoman movie. Uma Thurman , Luke Wilson and Anna Faris put on great range of performances.

Is this a spoof? An homage? A comedy in a weird universe? It's all of these and none of these. If it picked one of those to be and committed to it this would have been 10x better.

I grew up in the 90s and this comedy is right down my ally. Hillarious, touching, supperbly cast and acted. A comedy classic of its time, now shanted by the fun police...
