Plot: Everyone's had a painful parting of the ways with a romantic partner. We pick up the pieces and move on. But for one New York guy, it's not going to be so easy. When he breaks up with his girlfriend, he discovers his ex is actually the reluctant superhero, G-Girl. A scorned woman, she unleashes her super powers to humiliate and torment him.

Review: I am a sucker for any movie involving super heroes and hot chicks. I loved Ivan Reitman’s older films and was really looking for this to be his next big one. When I heard them promoting this film on Howard Stern I wanted to see it even more. What I got was unexpected, but not a surprise.

Unfortunately this movie was awful. The only good thing about this movie was Anna Faris, Wanda Sykes, and Rainn Wilson. You would think that would save the movie, but when your leads fall behind the supporting cast you have a problem. The effects were decent, but the movie itself just sucked. Luke Wilson and Uma Thurman both just seemed really uncomfortable in the film. There was no chemistry at all. Uma came off looking kind of hot a couple of times and there are some funny scenes, just not enough to help this movie in any way. If you find yourself watching this, pray that a super villain breaks into your house and steals your TV.
