Luke Wilson, the straight man of the Wilson brothers, plays second banana once again, this time to Uma Thurman. In this scrambled spoof/romantic comedy/farce (the movie’s own secret identity is never truly revealed), Thurman plays G-Girl, a sort of female Superman and the temperamental girlfriend of Wilson’s Matt. When he tries to end things with her, the breakup is messy, indeed. Wilson performs his brand of befuddlement to amusing effect, and Thurman is right at home in the Amazonian Wonder Woman role, but as a comedy My Super Ex-Girlfriend runs into something deadlier than kryptonite: a lack of laughs.
