Reader's Reviews
No oscars here, just pure chick flick fun, great night out with the girls, or genius revenge on your arch nemisis partner for subjecting you to endless comic book hero flicks, muhahahahaha.... Some fantastic laugh out loud scenes and great comic moments, reasonably well scripted for the type of film. Luke Wilson underplays his gender reversal role as Lois Lane well with added understated comic expression and timing which suits the character and film perfectly, Uma Thurman makes an extremely convincing physco ex and Clark Kent/Superman, and type casted Anna Farris sticks to what she does best and what we love her for. No thought required and pretty predictable, its fun escapism and good feeling fluff.
