Luke Wilson break up with a super-ex

Breaking up is hard to do, but sometimes it can be downright dangerous. In the Ivan Reitman comedy "My Super Ex-Girlfriend," Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) thinks he's finally found the perfect girlfriend, the beautiful Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman)-who just happens to be the superhero, G-Girl. When Jenny/G-Girl becomes overly possessive, Matt wants to call it quits… but how do you break up with a woman who can fly, lift cars, and burn holes through steel with her thermal vision?

At first glance-or first date-Jenny appears to be quite a "catch"; after all, she's a vivacious, vibrant, and beautiful woman. But, as Reitman notes, it doesn't take long for the story's protagonist, Matt Saunders, to realize that there's something "off" about Jenny. "She's a very verbal person," says the director. "Basically, she talks too much and hasn't yet learned the fine art of self-censorship."

Jenny is too much-way too much-to handle for a regular guy like Matt. Matt, played by Luke Wilson, is a successful architect who, like most single people (including future girlfriend-from hell Jenny), is looking for love. He is the story's straight man and, says Reitman, the heart of the film. "Luke really embodies the quintessential American everyman," says Reitman. "He's a likable guy with great comedic timing."

"I thought the script was very funny and, equally important, it had a lot of heart," says Wilson. "It's a very relatable story; everyone's been through a rocky relationship, and Matt and Jenny's connection is definitely rocky…and then some."

Luke Wilson is a multi-faceted talent whose projects have earned him praise from critics and audiences alike, and Luke continues to display his versatility in his upcoming projects.

Wilson made his directorial and writing debut in the romantic comedy "The Wendell Baker Story," in which he stars. The film also features Owen Wilson, Eva Mendes, Will Ferrell, Eddie Griffin, Harry Dean Stanton, Seymour Cassel and Kris Kristofferson. His oldest brother Andrew Wilson co-directed the film with Luke.

Wilson made his acting debut in the critically acclaimed independent film, "Bottle Rocket." The film was the first written and directed by Wes Anderson and co-written by his brother, Owen, who also co-starred. Following "Bottle Rocket," Wilson went on to appear in various cameo and supporting roles before winning lead roles in Bruce McCulloch's Dog Park and in "Home Fries," opposite Drew Barrymore.

Luke re-teamed with Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson for 1998's "Rushmore," which appeared on many critics' Top Ten lists, and then most recently in Anderson's "The Royal Tenenbaums," in which Wilson appeared with an all-star cast that included Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, and Bill Murray.

In 2003, Wilson co-starred with Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell in the Dreamworks hit comedy "Old School." Other recent film credits include Rob Reiner's romantic comedy, "Alex & Emma" opposite Kate Hudson and Sony Pictures Classics' "Masked & Anonymous" opposite Bob Dylan, Penelope Cruz, and Jessica Lange.

Wilson appeared with Martin Lawrence in the hit comedy "Blue Streak," and opposite Heather Graham in Committed, which was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. He appeared in the smash hit, Charlie's Angels, and starred opposite Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde," which was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. In addition, Wilson reprised his roles for both sequels.

Wilson starred in Twentieth Century Fox's ensemble "The Family Stone," with Claire Danes, Diane Keaton, Dermot Mulroney, Craig T. Nelson and Sarah Jessica Parker. His other recent films include the "Mike Judge" comedy for Twentieth Century Fox, "Idiocracy," Wil Shriner's "Hoot" and Nick Guthe's "Mini's First Time," in which he stars opposite Alec Baldwin, Carrie-Anne Moss and Jeff Goldblum.
