Really good movie. I probably think so because of Uma Thurman. Appropriate for ages 13 and up.

What Parents Need to Know
About My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Parents need to know that while the tone remains light-comedic, the film includes frequent sexual references and images, including jokes about "close" male friendships, effeminate men, and domineering women. Three sex scenes in beds (two comically show beds slamming through walls as superwomen are on top of partners). A character makes repeated sexual remarks about women; a black supervisor at work discusses sexual harassment and feels offended when Matt carelessly calls her "homegirl." Violence is cartoonish and frequent (explosions, robbery ending in gunfire at superbodied G-Girl, falls, slamming through ceilings and walls). Characters drink wine and beer. Villain smokes cigarettes.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about effective ways to "break up" with boy- and girlfriends. How does the movie's comic violence make fun of this usually painful process?
- How does the film show that teasing in high school can lead to long-lasting hurt feelings?
- How might Jenny have treated her friend Barry more generously?

super hero comedy
- I rate this title on for age 10 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
this was a funny movie and some sex in it but it was fine.
- I rate this title off for age 16 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
Sexual content comparable to the first Scary Movie
This film had a pretty graphic sexual content for a PG-13 rating. The movements are quite explicit.

it was great hysterical and its not terrible apperently 12 year-olds can watch pretty woman (rated r) because its a "clasic" but this is to much it really wasnt that bad

older teen romantic comedy with sexual refrences. not for younger people
parents need to know that this movie isn't very good. matt's friend is alot like Bernie from "About last night" a rude off who is only into conquering girls, not really into having a good relationship. matt and jenny have sex pretty earley on. she breaks his bed in the process, and he tells his friend so. there is some strong profanity; hanna calls jenny a crazy bitch, and thats just the beggining. there are alot of sexual refernces. matt also has sex with Hannna. jenny tells matt that she and berry came pretty close to having sex in their jr. year, but is gets interpted. there is some comic book styal violence; jenny throws a shrak at matt and hanna; and blasts threw his roof.

o.k
It was o.k...not a bad movie, It was pretty funny at sometimes, but that's really it. I didn't enjoy it too much. I also really didn't like all the sex scenes, it made me feel really uncomfortable.

It could have been so much more
This movie had so much potential but it never went anywhere. The plot was dumb the characters didn't make sense. The PG 13 didn't doesn't adaquately warn about the sex scene. They rock the bed through the wall for heavens sake! Way more graphic than necessary. The bed romping wasn't funny and didn't really add to the story.

Too much for PG-13 not enough for R
There are very few movies that I would say are right on the cusp of an R rating, this is one of them. I had my 13 year old son with me and, being a guy, thought this might be a fun movie. But I was a little put out by the sex scenes. Most movies with this rating show people having sex by rolling around on a bed, kissing, playing soft jazz in the back ground, etc. One of the sight gags in this movie is the girlfriend doing the main character so hard that the bed slides back and forth. Too me that was a little to graphic for my son to see. But other than the sexual content, this movie was fine for a 13 year old. In fact I think it would be fine for kids 16 and over. What the film makers should have done was go for the R rating and really had fun with the Super Ex-Girlfriend thing, (x-ray vision, etc). But as it is, it's a little much for an early teen.

I lauged, it was great, good feminist values.
I think people are rediculous to assume that if a movie has sex it is automaticly bad, especially if you don't know how graphic it is/was. I do believe in previewing movies, but once your kid already knows, let them decide what's too much on their own. My Super Ex was mostly emplied, non-graphic, and pointed a humorous outlook at our cultures values. See review from the BBC.

I took my 14 year old son to see this movie and I was completetly embarrassed by the continuous sexual inferences. I should have paid much more attention to what the other viewers said and not just common sense media. I went by the 13 and star rating. I have always trusted this site, but I believe this one was a hugh miss.

We Need a New PG15 Rating!
I am a mom, and I saw this movie with a friend of mine. My children were not with me, and I was so glad. While this movie had many funny moments, and I laughed quite a lot, I couldn't help but wonder how this movie was rated PG13 with all the focus on sex, especially sexual intercourse. I have an 11 year old daughter, and like many parents, I have started allowing her to view some PG13 movies. I would have been appalled to have her see this one, though. Much too much of a focus on sex, especially intercourse. Besides the ones that were mentioned in the commonsense review, there is sex performed while G-Girl is flying a mile above ground, and the movie even ends with a valueless sex scene. I don't even know that I would want my 14 year old daughter viewing this movie. The male main character's friend was focused only on sleeping with girls, and some of his comments were utterly tasteless. Not for tween's or early teen's ears and eyes at all.
