My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Director: Ivan Reitman
Year: 2006
Stars: Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson, Anna Faris, Eddie Izzard
If you've read the reviews, then you know exactly what to expect from this film. It really is as bad as the critics indicate. If you're lucky, it'll raise a titter or two. At best.
The premise could have worked - if there had been a decent script, a decent director or just a shred of knowledge about what does and doesn't work in a movie. Luke Wilson's character (the movie is so bad characters' names escape me) starts dating Uma Thurman, only to discover that she is, in fact, G-girl, a superhero. This doesn't really cause too many issues (with the exclusion of a broken bed) until Wilson decides he doesn't love G-girl and tries to dump her for Hannah, the girl he does love.
There you go, I can remember some of the names! Just to be clear though, Wilson isn't the worst thing in this. It's all rubbish.

Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
