A terrific idea for a comedy would be where a guy breaks up with a jealous, clingy girlfriend who turns out to have superpowers
that she can use to his detriment. A terrific execution of that idea is not to be found in "My Super Ex-Girlfriend," which has occasional spurts of laughter but is otherwise benign and dopey. Uma Thurman plays the superhero, G-Girl, who in her daily life is a mousy art gallery employee named Jenny Johnson. Her new boyfriend, Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson), is a non-descript designer-or-developer-or-architect-or-something (you know, like the guys in most movies), and he finds her superpowers awesome at first. Then he realizes she's kinda crazy and dumps her. Well. If you think a psycho chick scorned is bad, wait'll you see a psycho chick scorned who also has super-strength and the ability to fly! Watch out, non-descript Matt Saunders, because this psycho chick is pee-oh'd!
