Best movie of this year hands down!
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
This is an extremely light romantic comedy starring Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson and Anna Faris. I watched this almost right after watching Kill Bill, so it was a refreshing change of character for me. The movie is about G girl, a super hero who begins to obsess over her new boyfriend. The movie is from Matthew (i.e. the boyfriend)'s perspective. Although their date begins relatively smoothly (if you can call leaving in the middle of dinner to save town smooth), Jenny turns out to be slightly psychotic. She is extremely demanding and jealous, and does not give Matthew his space. Matthew ends up breaking up with her and is avenged for doing so; super girlfriend means that she is double the trouble. The plot is basically Jenny sabotaging Matthew (and his new girlfriend), and eventually the other way around, as Matthew holds hands with G girl's arch enemy to put it all to a stop. The movie is a romantic comedy, and it is just that. The story line is fairly straightforward and free from convoluted twists or thrills. It's a movie that I would call just 'all out there', and is a mediocre recommendation if you want to watch something without any strain at all. I didn't find it particularly funny or romantic, though, and the only humor point was Uma Thurman's almost neurotic, jealous rampages. The characters lacked development, and overall, the whole movie felt like an episode from any Disney channel cartoon show. The movie lacked substance, and sophistication. All in all, something you might put on television as a background soundboard while you're cooking but it's not a movie you would spend time focusing on.
As soon as I saw Anna Faris I was clear what kind of movie this is, but Uma Thurman in leading role gave me false hope that maybe I just have prejudice. Well, some prejudices are here for a reason. We all know Anna from Scary Movie franchise. Fans of it will probably enjoy this movie, the rest of you should skip it. Movie is slightly retarded and being a comedy is not good excuse. For good comedy you need story either completely retarded or not retarded at all. Slightly retarded simply is not funny. This movie is somewhat entertaining nonsense with just few inspiring scenes and that's it.5/10 (if there's no shark scene I would rate it even lower)
Look, up on the screen! Is it a bird, is it a plane, no, sorry folks, it's a dog and a very lame dog at that. In fact it's a very lame super-dog, that's Krypto isn't it? You see I'm a comic superhero fan and attracted by the title thought that this might be another entertaining spoof along the lines of "Mystery Men", but was I ever wrong.The humour is forced, the acting over-indulgent, especially Uma Thurman as the super-jealous heroine Jenny / G Girl, the special effects are just okay, the story is uninvolving and the characters a pretty unlikeable lot too. Besides the flaky Thurman there's also Owen Wilson's crude, sexist flat-mate, while Eddie Izzard picks up an easy pay-day for doing not very much. The film is aimed of course at teenagers which is probably why so much of the if-it's-not- vulgar-it's-childish humour missed me by a generation or two. In fact the only super- heroism here was by me, sitting through it till the end.
Considering the concept and a cast that includes Luke Wilson, Uma Thurman, Anna Faris, Wanda Sykes and Rainn Wilson I was expecting something funny. 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend' has its moments in the first half but the writing is inconsistent and lacking in imagination. The characterization is also at fault. While the first half has some funny moments, largely thanks to the cast, the second half shifts from dreadful to abysmal. The movie neither works as a superhero action flick nor a romantic comedy. While the chemistry between Luke Wilson, Uma Thurman and Anna Faris is good, the whole Eddie Izzard track felt forced and out of place. Sykes is wasted and Rainn Wilson is cast as the clichéd horny geeky friend who rambles on about sex. Speaking of clichés, much of the humour is formulaic and over-the-top. I also found the change of haircolor from brown to blonde or blonde to red, the enlargement of breasts etc as they change from women to superheroine to be at least a bit superficial. Anyway, 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend' could have easily been better but it isn't much good now.
