My Super Ex-Girlfriend
My Super Ex-Girlfriend – 2006
I watched this on the plane back from Japan. All the other films were so rubbish it hurt. Utter shite like The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and Step Up. However, Super Ex was a nice relief from the boredom and discomfort of air travel. It's a fun film about a lonely guy, Matt, who meets the rather innocent Jenny. Things go ok but Jenny's behaviour is more than just a little odd at times. She starts to become rather needy and a little crazy at times. Hannah is Matt's work friend and warns him to be careful with this Jenny character. Later the odd behaviour is soon explained a little by the fact Jenny reveals herself as G-Girl, the local superhero. However as Matt starts having second thoughts and seeks advice he realises he is making a big mistake and decides to break up with Jenny/G-Girl. Also Matt is becoming more and more attracted to Hannah. This leads to some very scary results as Jenny becomes insanely angry about the break-up and jealous of Hannah. Maaaan I could have made that story explanation so much more brief! Agghhh!
Matt is played by Luke Wilson. G-Girl by Uma Thurman. Hannah is played by the adorable Anna Faris. It's a cool cast, further improved with Eddie Izzard as Professor Bedlam. The part involving the shark is fantastic. Definitely worth a watch! 6/10
