Review: My Super Ex-Girlfriend

...not many people really liked the movie "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"... just try browsing the major movie review sites out there.. but hey!!! this blog/site's not one of them...

yada yada.. ya i really havent blown off any movie yet from my posts but hey.. i really wouldnt waste my 1 and a half hours sitting on any movie so if i happened to watch it... i must feel good about the movie in the first place before i watch and review it...

on to the movie..

well seriously, i think the timing of this movie is just right for me.. you know after watching a lot of superhero flicks - you know action studded, blasting, gun-firing, red tights, utility belts, mutation, ... AAAARRGGGHHH...

...the comedic spin to it might just be the right formula... and it worked... as the audience, you come in the theatre knowing its a comedy and for that you have different expectations - and you may not admit it but such expectations are new... heck when was the last time you watched a "real" superhero flick which lines up with comedy... Agent Banks nor the Spy Kids don't count!!! (lol)

...the plot's fresh... when was the last time you watched a superhero getting dumped... see? geeting the point?

i like Uma's acting.. as the super-stressed hero, she played it convincingly, Luke, well, apart from he's fat, he's old funny Luke... you know one-liners here and there... and another thing i liked about this film is Anna Faris breaking out into a "real" movie.. not the "Not Another Blah Blah" Movie Series... although its still a comedy, its not a spoof movie.. well her acting's mature enough to take on "advance" roles so good for her...

to close, well its not a "fantastic" 5 stars movie.. but its a "good" movie nonetheless... we really don't need to always have movies where we go out the theatre with a heavy heart or crying or having a heart attack for too much laughing... you know, once in a while its fun to see a feel-good flick after a long day in the office... it may not be a blockbuster but at least its well worth your 1 and a half hours...

Ciao!!!
