Not as good as the trailers
I tend to be a little picky about which movies I watch, especially for those rare theaters visits, but to some degree for my rentals pick as well. The factor I most often use to influence my decisions are the films' trailers. Usually they are a decently reliable indicator of whether I will like a film, although once in a while it proves to be inaccurate. Unfortunately, this was one of those times. <

>We thought the trailers were funny and as a result, we figured that the movie would be as well. Though there were some humorous moments, the bulk of the movie tended to bog down in its attempt at a quirky romantic comedy and its clumsy effort at still also being a slapstick comedy, with the resulting awkward moments and slow pacing. The sappy and insipidly convenient ending is remarkably anti-climactic and so banal that people in the theater actually groaned aloud. <

>Luke Wilson played his usual (invariably unchanging) character of the meek and whiney guy who is the Anglo-fied version of the traditional film nebbish who never gets a break or seems to have any particular strengths, but ultimately ends up on top. Uma Thurman was funny in her role, but ultimately could not overcome the weak script and disappointing movie. Anna Faris is likable and cute as always, but like Uma, she was in a weak film that she couldn't save. Rainn Wilson, who does such an effective job as Dwight in NBC's "The Office", isn't as effectively cast in this role, though he does what he can. Eddie Izzard, a talented actor and comedian, has his performance wasted as well. Wanda Sykes, who is normally very funny, is just shrill in this film. <

>The film overall is a mild disappointment. It's not terrible, but it's not as funny as you would hope or expect, in spite of some humorous moments. I would have given 2.5 stars if it were an option, but it doesn't merit 3 in my opinion. <

My Super Ex-Girlfriend
I would recommend this movie to people that like super heros. I thought it was funny and entertaining. I may review this movie many times, as I have seen it twice. Uma Thurman is a great actress and she adds, "great" to the word entertainment.

A rainy day fun Movie
I personally found this movie to be fun. It doesn't tax your brain, it explains why she has super powers, and in the end everything is tied up nicely in time for you to go to bed without any nagging questions. Its not Superman ... its not Spiderman ... its not even Superwoman ... but it is a fun, rainy day movie to watch, laugh and talk through with friends without becoming lost in the plot along the way. Uma Thurman was really cute I thought, as a super hero. A real person, with the same problems and idiocies and paranoia as most of us, but with the added weight of being a well known super hero. She did a really great job of showing the human side, because when it came down to it, she was just human.
