- 88USA TodayUSA TodayMy 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.
- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliCasting 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.
- 70L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasL.A. WeeklyScott FoundasA one-joke movie if ever there was, but the joke happens to be a good one -- a Tracy-and-Hepburn-style battle of the sexes in which Kate can fly and blast through walls -- and director Ivan Reitman (who made Ghostbusters) feels at home with the mix of screwball and supernatural.
- 70Washington PostStephen HunterWashington PostStephen HunterThe 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.
- 70Los Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoLos Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoThe 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.
- 50The New York TimesManohla DargisThe New York TimesManohla DargisThe shaky comedy My Super Ex-Girlfriend must have been a dream to pitch: "Fatal Attraction" meets "Wonder Woman," but funny.
- 42Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerChristian Science MonitorPeter RainerWilson does his callow good-guy routine (if you close your eyes you'd swear he was his brother, Owen) and Thurman looks as if she'd rather be stalking prey in "Kill Bill."
- 42Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldSeattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldIt's not terrible, but it's mediocre and not much more than a string of cheesy sex gags.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenSour, joyless affair.
- 25Chicago TribuneChicago TribuneYou'd have to go back to "My Stepmother Is an Alien" to find a male fantasy/nightmare this off-putting.
