If you have ever wondered how a super hero manages to have a personal life in the midst of saving mankind, then "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" is the film for you. The premise of the movie is unique, but the moral is simple: Under every person's secret exterior lies a human being with problems and cares of their own. In this instance, the secret exterior is that of G Girl - - a blond bombshell with super powers that rival those of Superman. G-Girl feels trapped as she continuously saves the world. She knows that she cannot reveal herself so she poses as a mousy, insecure young woman named Jenny Johnson. G-Girl/Jenny longs for a personal life, complete with boyfriend, but can never seem to find anyone who she believes could cherish her real self. Then along comes project manager, Matt Saunders, who actually attempts to save her from a dangerous situation. She becomes enthralled with her would be savior and that is when the movie takes off (pardon the pun).G-Girl/Jenny Johnson - - played by Uma Thurman - - settles into her new relationship, professing her love almost immediately. Things appear to be going pretty well. Despite all Jenny's hints about wanting a serious relationship, Matt - - played by Luke Wilson - - tries to hang in the relationship as long as he can. He senses there is more to Jenny than meets the eye. Because he has had more than his share of unbalanced relationships, Matt doesn't want to make a snap judgement. Still, eventually he is forced to realize that he just doesn't love her. In reality he is in love with Hannah, played by Anna Faris, a girl that he works with. Matt decides to be honest with Jenny and break up with her. However, Jenny/G-Girl doesn't take rejection well. Instead she lets her untapped anger spill out everywhere; demolishing Matt's home and throwing his car into outer space. Then, when Matt and Hannah finally do get together and start a relationship of their own, G-Girl steps up her plan of revenge.
