USA Today | Scott BowlesAdd Critic to Favorites

My Super Ex-Girlfriend manages to do what the recent crop of crime fighters haven't: show us how much fun it might be to fly, or have super strength, or look buff in spandex.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Casting helps the film work. Uma Thurman is among the few actresses who can pull off this role: the hot, buff, slightly deranged superhero and her dowdy, un-sexy alter-ego.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Carina ChocanoAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie doesn't purport to have her stand for all women, just the crazy ones, and as such, G-Girl is pure, soul-cleansing id catharsis.Read the full review

Washington Post | Stephen HunterAdd Critic to Favorites

The two starring performances are spot on. Wilson gets the tone that screenwriter Don Payne so expertly evokes: It's a weird sort of self-aware despicability...Thurman is beautiful, fearless and perfectly believable as a superhero.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Ruthe SteinAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie is unable to achieve lift-off and transcend the formulaic stuff coming out of Hollywood, despite the perfect casting of Uma Thurman.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Scott TobiasAdd Critic to Favorites

Confusing gender issues like the ones dredged up in Ex-Girlfriend call to mind another Reitman dud, the pregnant-Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy "Junior," and the sophistication level has only slightly improved since then.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

If the script for this comic spin on Fatal Attraction were only a tenth as hot as Uma Thurman, director Ivan Reitman might have had something here.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

Runs out of fresh ideas about how to make its heroine look nuts.Read the full review

The New York Times | Manohla DargisAdd Critic to Favorites

The shaky comedy My Super Ex-Girlfriend must have been a dream to pitch: "Fatal Attraction" meets "Wonder Woman," but funny.Read the full review

Variety | Robert KoehlerAdd Critic to Favorites

Uma Thurman, a female superhero with emotional problems and dating issues, doesn't so much fight the forces of evil as battle the wit-starved movie's torpor -- indeed, her perf suggests what the entire film might have been.Read the full review
