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.

Rating: 1 out of 5

About Me

My photo
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.
