"at heart a deeply misogynistic view of female empowerment."  Eye for Film  Anton Bitel

"Uma Thurman is quite funny as she channels the anger from her 'Kill Bill' character and turns it into hilarious outbursts of superhero rage. "  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

"Eddie Izzard Eddie Izzard Eddie Izzard. If ever a name bore repeating, it is this one. And thank goodness for Eddie Izzard, who brings a whole other dimension to this movie."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2.5/4
"...generally a fun (albeit entirely forgettable) piece of work."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C-
"It's a tacky one-joke movie, and that joke wears thin faster than a speeding bullet."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"Simply goes through the paces more often than it excels at its initial ambitions."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C
"Has occasional spurts of laughter but is otherwise benign and dopey."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

B
"Plays like it was written by smart people, for people who've seen their share of romantic comedies and superhero flicks."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

1/5
"...Neither fun nor funny."  Film Threat  Felix Vasquez Jr.

2/4
"This is certainly not good news for My Super Ex-Girlfriend, a lame laugher whose anemic superpowers couldn't put a dent into a marshmallow with a rusty hammer."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

C
"Look, up on the screen--it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a lame superhero comedy...if it were a comic, it would be cancelled after three issues."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/4
"If you're going for plot, My Super Ex-Girlfriend will disappoint, but if you're going for a light look at aspects of the superhero experience that most 'serious' genre entries ignore, the film delivers."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

6/10
"Click here to read review"  Kinoblog.com  Jaroslav Vishtaljuk

7/10
"Emasculation paranoia is alive and well."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

1/5
"The good news is that My Super Ex-Girlfriend does actually end."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

"Anyone who ever found a boiled bunny on their stove knows breaking up with a woman who won't be ignored can be extremely dangerous."  Light Views  John Larsen

4/10
"A big waste of time, money and space, but that should come as no surprise to anyone who has already been burned by promise of a film featuring Uma Thurman in tight-fitting pants (The Avengers, anyone?)."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

4/5
"Hop on the crazy train and enjoy the ride!"  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

3/5
"It teetered on the edge of totally sucking, but in the end, it actually pulled everything off."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

C-
"a comedy whose very first visual gag is overpowered by implausibility and whose 'heroine' is an unsympathetic wacko instead of being given the feminist revenge bent that might have worked."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2/4
"[Screenwriter Don] Payne crafts a couple of witty gags about how emasculating it is to date a superwoman, but most of the gags recycle the same tired old romantic comedy schtick, with special effects."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3/4
"A breezy timepass entertainment with a little hint of bite."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

B-
"A movie with characters you like being allowed to like (despite their imperfections). "  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1.5/4
"My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a romantic comedy from a stereotypically masculine perspective."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

3/5
"doesn't capitalize on a creative premise to make an impact. In this case, it's not you; it's the movie."  Filmcritic.com  Pete Croatto

2/5
"Not even SuperUma can save this chunk of comedic kryptonite."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

3.5/5
"While not particularly smart or funny, it's still thoroughly engaging."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

3.5/5
"A clever concept brought to colorful life thanks to a witty script, a quick pace, and a pretty darn excellent ensemble of comedic performers."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

4/10
"I wonder what those MPAA members who gave this a PG-13 were smoking. Filled with crude, raunchy sexual references, it should have been R-rated."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

2/4
