Re: Official Movie Review Thread!

Went to see: MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND

with Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson, and Some blonde chick I never heard of.

2 out of 5 stars.

I would wait until this movie comes out on DVD. I didn't care for it. I've never liked Uma Thruman, I don't know why...but I still went and saw this..... Why? I read no reviews prior, and maybe that was a mistake.
I just thought it was too full of sterotypes and bad images all around. It wasn't funny, and I actually thought it was kind of degrading to women. While I'm not a blazing feminist, I just didn't like the way it portrayed either women or men. Like the sterotypical Horny Best Friend who hits on all the chicks.. friend of Luke Wilson?
Boring and stupid, done thirty years prior better and with more panache by John Belushi in Animal House. And the arch villian? All high school type sterotypes. WTF was Uma's agent thinking when he sent her this script?
The message seems to be: You see, when a Women gets...gasp..Supernatural Powers from Heaven..she Just Can't Handle Them..turns into a total Basketcase, a Stalker Female from Fatal Attraction, etc. She abuses them because, well women can't handle their emotions. Unlike Superman, however, who can not only Handle Himself and all his Powers, but heck, he gets the chick (Lois Lane), nabs the villian, and is gorgeous to look at in the bargain..WTF?
I'm very sorry I went to see this movie. It sucked so bad.
My favorite line.."oohh, Johnny (or whatever his name was)...no more crazy women for awhile..ok..teehee?"..Barf and Double Barf.
