At one point, jealous Thurman tosses a live shark into Matt and Hannah's love nest. Unwittingly plunged into this farrago, the shark earns my sympathy.

...A movie that would rather tweak male paranoia than liberate a nerdette terrified of her powers.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The Ivan Reitman-directed comedy manages to sap the charm from everyone in its cast, all of whom have shone quite brightly in other settings.

Most of the jokes are left flapping like a fish on the line, delivered with zero energy by the leads...

Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten

The fusion of effects-fueled action fantasy with comedy worked well for director Ivan Reitman 22 years ago in Ghostbusters and, less so, five years ago in Evolution. But, it fails to save his latest, My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
