Uma Thurman is catastrophically miscast in this truly terrible fantasy-romcom about an ordinary guy (Luke Wilson, on dull form) who finds out the nervy, neurotic woman he's dating (Thurman) is in fact a superheroine, who whizzes around New York fighting crime. Thurman, in the immortal words of Humphrey Bogart, stinks up the screen. She has zero talent for comedy, and even an actor who very much does have this talent - Eddie Izzard, playing her arch-nemesis, Professor Bedlam - looks unhappy and uneasy, with no funny lines. Ivan "Ghostbusters" Reitman directs with a heavy hand. Thurman may wish to buy up all extant celluloid and DVD copies and burn them.
