What to Know

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.

Namrata Joshi Outlook The idea is eminently infantile. Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Toddy Burton 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 Aug 5, 2006 Full Review Chris Hewitt (UK) 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 Aug 4, 2006 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Uma Thurman certainly throws herself into the role with energy and gusto. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 17, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Not that bad, but could have been much more. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Jeff Simon Buffalo News 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. Apr 3, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Munkhchimeg T Uma Thurman never disappoints us Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Gnr E I want a girlfriend like her. She was so good and beautiful Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Danny R While Uma Therman, shows everyone how she can turn a trash movie into a only just bearable watch, it isn't helped by Luke Wilson (the slightly more talented of the wilson brothers, which isn't really a compliment) with his boring delivery of lines, and that idiotic mysterious look he makes that add about as much mystery as an orange in an orange shop, and his inability (like owen) to be able to play more then one character, really poor Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Chris M Because all men are Leisure Suit Larry who pumps ‘em and dumps ‘em and all women go crazy after being dumped. Let's talk about G-Girl. Why G-Girl? Her powers are basic generic "Superman" powers. Super strength, flight, invulnerability. So that generic name and costume don't work. If her powers were gravity based and spent any time on her powers, the name would make sense. But her being a super hero has very little to nothing to do with the story. It rather have the character just generic sexiest clichés. Hell, her nemesis hates her because she dumped him in high school. It fails as a comic book spoof because it never really explores the tropes of the comic book movies, hell "Super Hero Movie" does a better job. It's fails as a rom-com because of the before mentioned sexiest clichés of the guy who dates women just to fuck them and the woman who goes nuts because she's dumped. Because a relationship only gives meaning. If I were you, I'd give this unfunny rom-com a super skip. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review Dammon L Fun but sort of predictable movie. Good weekend movie to watch with your girl. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review D. L Honestly, between all the sexist nonsense and corny jokes, the latent homophobia and misogyny that blanketed the entire movie's run time, I'm only giving this an extra half star because I think the actors did a really good job with the material they were given. Unfortunately, the material was a steaming pile of horse dung. Uma and Eddie and Rainn definitely deserved better than this. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
