A mindless, humorous and fun romantic comedy. If you are looking for a light hearted movie, this ones for you. Special effects were a little cheesy but expected with such a movie. It is a Superman meets Fatal Attraction parody.
Uma Thurman plays Jenny Johnson, a lonely and needy superhero that goes crazy (psychotic!) after breaking up with Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson). Ann Faris (Scary Movie) also stars, but with a different role than she is normally used to, playing a more sophisticated sexy female.
This movie shows that even superheros have their “bad” sides and they have negative human feelings like vindictiveness and jealousy - and boy does she show it! Ever wonder how superhero’s have sex? well, you might just have the answer here ;-) . Nothing gross or perverted, just silly humor.
Acting wise, its not one to win the Oscars but hey its not expected to … Uma Thurman plays a good “sexy yet crazy psychotic” female (aka Kill Bill), Matt Wilson is good in his usual “dumb yet trying to play a sophisticated guy” role, Anna Faris is just hilarious looking at her facial expressions, Rainn Wilson plays a good buddy that gives good bad advice and Eddie Izzard is the least likable as I thought he could have played a more “mean” villian.
This could very well turn out to be the funniest movie of a lackluster movie summer.
