My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Channel 4 at 7:10pm (Other show times...)

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Mild architect Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) finds the courage to chat up Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman) on the New York subway. She's terrific... until they split up, and she turns psycho.

Having ended the relationship, all hell breaks loose. G-Girl throws his car into space and causes him grief at work. Not only that, but to interrupt his date with new girlfriend Hannah (Anna Faris), G-Girl throws a full-size great white shark through Matt's apartment window.

Released in 2006, this romantic fantasy comedy is built on a combination of likable stars, strong direction from Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) and a sprightly script by Don Payne (The Simpsons). It's more fun than Uma's had at the movies for ages.

Did you know? The "castle" in Matt Saunders's fish tank is believed to be a simplified model of Frank Lloyd Wright's design for a house called "Fallingwater".
