    This is one of those movies where the critcs start reveiewing each other's reviews and lose sight of what is actually in the movie. This is by far the funniest movie all summer, with four excellent perfomances. Even more importantly, the movie has a consistent aesthetic that enables it to create its own world - necessary for anything involving superheroes. I find it hard to believe that there's anyone out there that didn't have a good time watching this movie. I'm afraid this is a rare movie that is crippled by having a premise that is too obviously good. This film executes on the premise perfectly. Go see it if you can so the studios will know that audiences will pay to see elaborate comedy.… Expand

    A one-joke movie if ever there was, but the joke happens to be a good one -- a Tracy-and-Hepburn-style battle of the sexes in which Kate can fly and blast through walls -- and director Ivan Reitman (who made Ghostbusters) feels at home with the mix of screwball and supernatural.

    You'd have to go back to "My Stepmother Is an Alien" to find a male fantasy/nightmare this off-putting.

    The two starring performances are spot on. Wilson gets the tone that screenwriter Don Payne so expertly evokes: It's a weird sort of self-aware despicability...Thurman is beautiful, fearless and perfectly believable as a superhero.
