ivan reitman be something of a savior . the most tired plot ( ghostbusters and evolution ) come to life in his skilled hand . even his occasional flop ( six day and seven night ) show sign of life and humor that make it worth view . so i be disappointed that reitman could not take a fairly original plot ( man dump superhero and superhero get superpower fueled revenge ) and and shape it into something enjoyable . girlfriend be an exercise in pointlessness . the one trick pony plot be long in the tooth after the first 20 minute . the film can not decide whether to be romantic comedy or superhero drama . the result be a film the flip flop between both and with neither aspect be very well do . uma thurman be tops and a usual and and luke wilson pull off his role too and though his slacker antic quickly grow tire . what even more maddening be that and in certain scene ( such a when a very turn on uma knock a headboard through a wall ) and you sense a witty and raucous reitman opus practically scream to get out . but second later and the magic be lose and go as quick a the superheroine whose movie disappoints in almost every way .
