Smoreni Zmaj As soon as I saw Anna Faris I was clear what kind of movie this is, but Uma Thurman in leading role gave me false hope that maybe I just have prejudice. Well, some prejudices are here for a reason. We all know Anna from Scary Movie franchise. Fans of it will probably enjoy this movie, the rest of you should skip it. Movie is slightly retarded and being a comedy is not good excuse. For good comedy you need story either completely retarded or not retarded at all. Slightly retarded simply is not funny. This movie is somewhat entertaining nonsense with just few inspiring scenes and that's it.5/10 (if there's no shark scene I would rate it even lower)

Python Hyena My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006): Dir: Ivan Reitman / Cast: Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson, Anna Faris, Eddie Izzard, Rainn Wilson: Here is a comedy that deals with every male's biggest fear. It regards the threat of relationship burnout. Luke Wilson strikes up a date with a woman who turns out to be a superhero. Problem is that breaking up with her can result in fatal consequences. Director Ivan Reitman allows too much to run loose and never really seems to pause to enjoy his craft. He previously made such films as Ghostbusters and Dave. This is not his best effort but at the very least it contains a fetching idea. The ending works despite cheesy special effects that nearly kill the film. Uma Thurman has fun as Jenny / G Girl. She is introduced as normal before letting down her barriers and taking on a relationship. Her revenge tactics upon a breakup are often funny, and she does find love in the most unlikely place. Wilson makes a good foil as he regrets this pursuit when supernatural vengeance is acted towards him. We know he will fix things, and he will be able to date Anna Faris who has the thankless role of co-worker / girlfriend. Eddie Izzard as a villain from Jenny's childhood is a great touch in terms of his background and future. Rainn Wilson makes an appearance to remind us that he is funnier in The Office. Great idea that isn't a super great film, but an entertaining afterthought. Score: 5 ½ / 10

Blueghost This film is nothing to write home about, but it has a few shiny flourishes. The thing to remember is that this film was aimed at the teen age and college comic book crowd. It wasn't meant to be anything more than that. And when you look at it in that context you find those bright moments that Reitman was trying to give the audience. This isn't adult fare gone bad as it was presented for adults. It's teenage fast-food cinema that's got more production values and gloss than the teen-sex romps I grew up with; "Spring Break" or "One Crazy Summer" as examples.Yeah, Thurman's character has got issues. But she's supposed to. This is a teenage guy film about a comic book guy's perspective on women. The target audience is probably the biggest item to criticize, because if there are enough people (immature men) who fall into the category of feeling helpless and powerless against women when in a relationship, then maybe there's something wrong with society to allow such a population to explode and support this film. Yeah, that's kind of high minded and somewhat near leaving the topic of the film itself, but I think it's important to contemplate.All in all I didn't mind the film, but did find it ridiculous and mildly amusing here and there. Yes, a better film could have been made for the adult dating scene, and we could argue about whether that should have been greenlit as opposed to what we have, and yes, it probably would have been a better film. But take this film for what it is, a time waster. A film to put on the DVD player as you hit the "sleep" button on your TV.Watch if only so inclined.

dunmore_ego Luke Wilson sells this film.MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND has Ivan (GHOSTBUSTERS) Reitman directing; a solid comedy writer from THE SIMPSONS, Don Payne; Rainn Wilson at the top of his game and Eddie Izzard at the middle (though still attaining the standard of low-bar American comedians); it's Uma Thurman looking hot - as a super heroine AND in her severe, clinical Clark Kentress alter ego skirt. But the film belongs to Luke Wilson.We have to believe that Wilson's average red-blooded American male can hook up with Uma's superchick, break up with her, then take all her high maintenance super revenge in stride. Wilson's every reaction is gold.Architect Matt (Wilson) falls for the bespectacled, secretarial Jenny Johnson (Thurman), who reveals she is the resident New York superhero G-Girl (basically a retread of Superman with tits). After a few weeks, Matt realizes Jenny/G-Girl is clingy, jealous, irrational and emotionally unstable (you know, just a regular chick), so he dumps her in favor of his spunky co-worker, Hannah (Anna Faris), who has been coming onto Matt overtly by monopolizing all his sightlines in tight black dresses with NVP (No Visible Pantyline).And Jenny's revenge is - as one can guess - super nasty.It's a very funny movie - even WITH the double-standard woman-empowering out of control. I think this is the first time on film we are seeing this aspect of a superhero-layperson relationship. Super folk tend to be sensible and honorable enough never to use their super powers against normal folk in revenge (unless the normal folk are villains). But here is vengeance heaven for whining ex-girlfriends; we see a female super hero actually behave like any normal high maintenance byoch.There is shark-throwing and bed-breaking and cars thrown in space, but those aren't the funny bits. The humor flows from the details: Rainn Wilson and Luke Wilson play off each other like a pair of well-oiled bromantics and their chemistry never flags; Izzard is succulent as usual as the suave supervillain, Professor Bedlam; Thurman pulls off her touchy role without making us hate her; and Anna Faris gets to use more than her one facial expression by redirecting our attention to her bodacious booty.Don't watch with your girlfriend. It'll only give her ideas.
