Review of:My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)
Director:Ivan Reitman
Rating:PG-13 for sexual content, crude humor, language and brief nudity.
Starring:Luke Wilson, Uma Thurman, Anna Faris, Eddie Izzard, Wanda Sykes
Do you ever remember having a relationship that turned out for the worse. Maybe you found that one person in this world that would call up your mother and send her that tape you never wanted anyone to see. That’s tame compared to the action in My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
Luke Wilson stars as everyday man Matt Saunders. He’s your typical movie nice guy with one big problem. Namely, one Uma Thurman (G-Girl, Jenny Johnson) who’s going nuclear to the extent of her character in Kill Bill. There relationship is fine at the beginning, but it isn’t until he decides to take his life in another direction that she goes mental on him.
Add into this mix an office romance everyone can see but Matt, and his comedic friend Vaughn Haige (the offices Raine Wilson), and you have a movie that keeps you laughing.
Now the main question is would I recommend this movie for others to see. If you have children in the ages of 1-10 I wouldn’t. It’s to hard to explain the mature relationship portions of the movie, and I found myself getting tired of trying to explain it away. If you aren’t saddled with little ones, and let’s say are in a relationship yourself, this might be the film for you.
