Key opinion
My Super Ex-Girlfriend is a polarizing superhero comedy that relies heavily on its central cast to carry a mediocre and often predictable plot. While some viewers find it an amusing and lighthearted parody, others criticize its uneven tone, failed humor, and failure to transcend genre cliches.

| Production | The film utilizes visual and practical effects that hold up as functional and competent for its era. | |
| Screenplay | The script is widely viewed as a weakness, struggling to balance its superhero parody elements with a standard romantic comedy structure. | |
| Acting | Luke Wilson's performance divides opinion, with some viewers finding his low-key approach charming and sincere, while others find his portrayal inert or absurd. | |
| Acting | Opinions on Uma Thurman’s performance vary, with some praising her ability to blend menace and comedy, while others feel she overacts or is miscast in the role. | |
| Humor | The humor is polarizing; for some, it provides lighthearted and consistent laughs, while others find the jokes vulgar, uninspired, or insufficient to sustain the film. |
