THE MOVIE<\/strong> \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Plot Outline: <\/b>Matt Saunders (LUKE WILSON) thinks he\u2019s found the perfect girlfriend in Jenny Johnson (UMA THURMAN), who just happens to be smart, sexy…and a superhero. But when Jenny turns out to be a needy, neurotic mess, Matt wants to call it quits, Jenny is crushed by the news and will stop at nothing to exact sweet revenge. Entering into the mix are Matt\u2019s co-workers Vaughn (RAINN WILSON) and Hannah (ANNA FARIS) and Jenny\u2019s arch nemesis Professor Bedlam (EDDIE IZZARD) who set on destroying the superhero.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/b>As a comedy, My Super Ex-Girlfriend<\/i><\/b> never quite hits it out of the park but as a premise, it is unique and a fun spoof on superhero movies. Uma Thurman is a delight in the lead role, Luke Wilson is… well… like one of the Wilson brothers with a strange charm, Anna Faris is a lot of fun in her part especially towards the end and Rainn Wilson plays the typical quirky best friend. While the film itself doesn\u2019t exactly work on every level, I still found it to be fun and a decent time-waster. However, it\u2019s also not a film I\u2019d revisit all too often, but as a one-off, it\u2019s not bad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

None of the features from the DVD (deleted scenes, music video) have been ported over. In fact, there isn\u2019t even a menu as the movie will begin to play after the AB logo and FBI warning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.25\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My Super Ex-Girlfriend<\/i><\/b> flies in on Blu-ray presented in its original 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio and an impressive looking 1080p high-definition transfer. Given the movie is only 7 years old, it\u2019s not surprising that the picture looks as good as it does, but it\u2019s hardly ever a given. Here, the picture if finely detailed, if not at times on a bit on the lighter side. I don\u2019t have the DVD to compare, but I\u2019m certain this is a good upgrade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 meanwhile is nice but on front-loaded with some of the audio, especially when it comes to the music, score and the more action-oriented scenes. Even so, dialogue levels sound decent, albeit heavy, and those action sequences provide robustness to the lossless track and, like the picture, is probably a notable improvement over the standard Dolby 5.1 track on the DVD.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.25\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, My Super Ex-Girlfriend<\/i><\/b> never quite fulfills the potential of the storyline but the movie still is fun propelled by entertaining performances by Uma Thurman, Anna Faris and, to a certain extent, Luke Wilson. The Blu-ray offers solid audio and video transfers but leaves out the features from the DVD release. Since the SRP is $17.99 (at the time of this writing), it is a bit pricey for what you are getting (and the DVD version is uber cheap), but if you can buy it in the $5 range, then it might be worth the upgrade.<\/p>\n
