DVD Synopsis

A regular guy finds out just how hard breaking up can truly be when attempting to call it quits with a clingy female crime fighter who doesn't want to let love die in director Ivan Reitman's super-powered romantic comedy. Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) was looking for love when he first met pretty brunette Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman), and at the time it seemed as if he may had finally actually found it. Jenny isn't just your typical girl, though, because despite her outwardly normal appearance she is actually a powerful superhero dedicated to ridding the streets of crime. Her outward strength betrays a deep-rooted insecurity, too, and when Jenny begins to become a bit too possessive for Matt's laid-back taste, the troubled boyfriend does his best to end the relationship amicably. They say that breaking up isn't easy to do, however, and when your girlfriend is a superhero, that sentiment holds twice the truth as it does under any normal circumstances. Matt is determined to get on with his life, though, and as his budding romance with beautiful co-worker Hannah (Anna Faris) begins to get serious, jealous Jenny scornfully slips into G-Girl mode to prove that hell hath no fury like a woman superhero scorned. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The two best actors in this are not even the main characters, but that's forgivable. Anna Faris and Eddie Izzard play their roles so well, it's enjoyable despite the shaky acting of Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson. Rainn Wilson is great as the guy you do not quite know why you're best friends with, and yet still tell him all the things you know you should not.
It may seem critical, but I enjoyed this movie enough to request it off of here. It's a light movie, perfect for in-between time or just to have something to watch. And Wanda Sykes was terrific as the boss!

I so needed this movie. I mean, not needed it like "had to have it" but needed a good laugh. This one had me laughing much more than any of the lame gross-out comedies that have been all the rage lately. Is it high cinema? Y-- No... But it's pretty darned funny if you accept that it's not high cinema. I mean, who throws a shark at an ex-lover? Honestly?

Super-girl, super-villain, super "nice guy," and more pent up angst and romantic frustration than you can safely shake a stick at.

The movie dares to ask the question, "if you date a superhero (especially a clingy, needy, petty, jealous one), how *DO* you safely break up with them?"
