Critics Consensus

My Super Ex=Girlfriend is an only sporadically amusing spoof on the superhero genre that misses the mark with a nerd-turned-superwoman who embodies sexist clichés.

While Uma Therman, shows everyone how she can turn a trash movie into a only just bearable watch, it isn't helped by Luke Wilson (the slightly more talented of the wilson brothers, which isn't really a compliment) with his boring delivery of lines, and that idiotic mysterious look he makes that add about as much mystery as an orange in an orange shop, and his inability (like owen) to be able to play more then one character, really poor

Because all men are Leisure Suit Larry who pumps ‘em and dumps ‘em and all women go crazy after being dumped. Let's talk about G-Girl. Why G-Girl? Her powers are basic generic "Superman" powers. Super strength, flight, invulnerability. So that generic name and costume don't work. If her powers were gravity based and spent any time on her powers, the name would make sense. But her being a super hero has very little to nothing to do with the story. It rather have the character just generic sexiest clichés. Hell, her nemesis hates her because she dumped him in high school. It fails as a comic book spoof because it never really explores the tropes of the comic book movies, hell "Super Hero Movie" does a better job. It's fails as a rom-com because of the before mentioned sexiest clichés of the guy who dates women just to fuck them and the woman who goes nuts because she's dumped. Because a relationship only gives meaning. If I were you, I'd give this unfunny rom-com a super skip.

Fun but sort of predictable movie. Good weekend movie to watch with your girl.

Honestly, between all the sexist nonsense and corny jokes, the latent homophobia and misogyny that blanketed the entire movie's run time, I'm only giving this an extra half star because I think the actors did a really good job with the material they were given. Unfortunately, the material was a steaming pile of horse dung. Uma and Eddie and Rainn definitely deserved better than this.

Ivan Reitman movies always seem to focus on low-ball, kinda creepy sex scenes...non-stop. It gets embarrassing after a while. This movie is pretty lame and you have to force yourself to stick around till the end.

I kept my expectations low and it surpassed them. Good for a few laughs. Luke Wilson was Luke Wilson and Uma Thurman really got into her character and was believable. Anna Faris was cute as the love interest. Eddie Izzard was at first scary then turned into his amusing self. Not sure why a lot of people hated this so much. I don't think I'd have been impressed if I had gone out to a theater to see it. Light entertainment for watching at home.

Austin Chronicle

Ultimately, the star-power smoke screen withers, and you're left with a silly film, a couple of decent jokes, and an entirely too-predictable plot.

Rated: 1.5/5

Empire Magazine

For Ivan Reitman, Ghostbusters continues to cast one hell of a shadow. Shame - if he'd managed to resist the lure of big, shiny FX, this could have worked as a very black comedy...

Uma Thurman certainly throws herself into the role with energy and gusto.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend never really takes off into comedic deep space, but it's not exactly earthbound, either. A lot of this is funny stuff -- honest. Summer movie comedy lovers might have a similar reaction.
