My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Just to prove that I'm not all intellectual and brooding all the time, let's talk about something completely different. Okay, okay, okay, so the trailer may sort of scream stupid, but give it a chance. Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) is a mild mannered everyguy who's been unlucky in love when he meets gorgeous Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman.) Of course he remains unlucky in love as Jenny is two fries short of a Happy Meal - controlling, manipulative, and jealous. But wait, there's more - she also just happens to be the alter ego of G-Girl - super hero. Dumping a psycho girlfriend who might key your car simply does not compare with dumping a psycho girlfriend who can put your car in orbit.

So this isn't the film to impress at the next meeting of Mensa, but if you're sharing a pizza and beer with the buds - it is a kick in the ass. Nimbly directed by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters, Dave,) and having a great cast including Eddie Izzard as the lovesick, arch villain - Barry, it's simply a bit of fun. Official website here.
