My Super Ex-Girlfriend seems at first to be a girl-power movie that challenges the gender status quo. But it turns out, disappointingly, to be as sexist as your average Hollywood flick.
Directed by Ivan Reitman (the filmmaker behind the Ghostbuster series), the fantasy comedy stars Uma Thurman as the superhero G-Girl. She leads a boring life as art dealer Jenny when she is not occupied with intercepting missiles, putting out fires or chasing armed robbers.
One day, she comes across Matt (Luke Wilson), a pathetic single man who desperately needs a girlfriend. They make a perfect match.
But while Matt finds Jenny sexy, he is troubled by her fierce temper, jealousy, insecurity, and her needy and controlling nature. Jenny is what most boys like to think of girls: attractive in appearance but annoying in nature.
To make matters worse, Matt gradually realises that Jenny is not the true love of his life.
He breaks up with her only to find out that his now ex-girlfriend is capable of throwing his car into space, stripping him naked in lightning speed in front of his colleagues, and tossing a shark at him and his new lover (Anna Faris).
