Breaking up is hard to do, but sometimes it can be downright dangerous. In the Ivan Reitman comedy My Super Ex-Girlfriend, written by Don Payne, Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) thinks he's finally found the perfect girlfriend, the beautiful Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman) - who just happens to be the superhero, G-Girl. When Jenny/G-Girl becomes overly possessive, Matt wants to call it quits… but how do you break up with a woman who can fly, lift cars, and burn holes through steel with her thermal vision? A scorned woman, Jenny/G-Girl unleashes the full fury of her super-powered wrath as she tries to bust up Matt's new romance with his co-worker Hannah Lewis (Anna Faris). (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

Although I thought this would be a little better than it was in the end, this is a fairly pleasant thing to watch. Luke Wilson is extremely in his element and it’s fun watching how he deals with the diabolical Uma 'G-Girl' Thurman. The best thing was probably the shark. What else can I say? Simply a relaxing comedy.

A regular commercial product that would have had more to offer if a higher-quality screenwriter and director worked on it. The concept is not at all bad and - after all, some of the jokes from the first part of the movie are not to be dismissed. Like this, though, it's just one in a long line of films that try to lure audiences with a star in the lead role and low-level humor. Overall impression: 25%.

If G-Girl had dumped the fool in the first ten minutes and Mr. Reitman had shown us their whole previous relationship only in flashbacks, My Super Ex-Girlfriend could have turned out better...This way it became just low-budget foolishness with a long wait for something to happen and a nice fight between two (super)women at the end.

It could have been a really interesting film about why it is extremely dangerous to break up with a superwoman, but it failed to impress me, so my rating dropped to 2*. I have to admit, however, that I have never seen such a curious scene as the one with the shark.
