Mild architect Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) finds the courage to chat up Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman) on the New York subway. She's terrific... until they split up, when she turns psycho.
To be fair, the signs were there from the moment she swore him to secrecy about her secret identity as G-Girl. "Say: 'I'd rather have a chainsaw shoved up my ass than tell.'" "Is that even possible?" muses Matt. "Say it!" yells the excitable G-Girl.
The next thing Matt knows, G-Girl is throwing full-size great whites through the window to interrupt his date with Hannah (Anna Faris). Built on a combination of likeable stars, Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman and Simpsons writer Don Payne, this is more fun than Uma's had at the movies for ages.
Did you know? The "castle" in Matt Saunders's fish tank is believed to be a simplified model of Frank Lloyd Wright's design for a house called "Fallingwater".
