My Super Ex-Girlfriend (4)

Oh no. On this lazy long afternoon I wanted to enjoy some fun comedy, some humour and some interesting story. But I was way wrong to watch My Super Ex-Girlfriend. This was painful. I rate it only a 4 (I wish someone had told me so that I wouldn't see it).

Matt dumps his girlfriend, Jenny. But she's has a secret identity of being the super hero G-Girl, and she doesn't like getting dumped! She begins to harass Matt and new his girlfriend by doing things like putting his car in orbit. G-Girl's first boy friend has become her arch rival, Professor Bedlam, who teams with Matt to stop her.

If it all sounds like a very childish story you'd be exactly right. Except it's not a film for kids, there is too much sex and adult jokes. And it's not a film for teenagers, it's too cute and there's not enough gothic brooding or violence. I don't know who this film is for - not for me, and probably not for anyone. It's as though the actors and film crew had a spare weekend and decided to throw this rubbish together just so that they could have a launch party to go to on Sunday night.
