Matt Saunders was looking for love when he first met pretty brunette Jenny Johnson, and at the time it seemed as if he may had finally actually found it. Jenny isn't just your typical girl, though, because despite her outwardly normal appearance she is actually a powerful superhero dedicated to ridding the streets of crime. Her outward strength betrays a deep-rooted insecurity, too, and when Jenny begins to become a bit too possessive for Matt's laid-back taste, the troubled boyfriend does his best to end the relationship amicably. They say that breaking up isn't easy to do, however, and when your girlfriend is a superhero, that sentiment holds twice the truth as it does under any normal circumstances. Matt is determined to get on with his life, though, and as his budding romance with beautiful co-worker Hannah begins to get serious, jealous Jenny scornfully slips into G-Girl mode to prove that hell hath no fury like a woman superhero scorned.
This is a ridiculous film. It's supposed to be a romantic comedy, but it's really not that funny - it's more goofy than anything. G-Girl is just a rip-off of Superman (and not a very good one). I don't know what they were trying to accomplish when making this film, but I certainly wasn't very amused. It has it's good parts and funny moments, but it's mostly just a series of dumb scenes with G-Girl showing off her powers (and using them to get back at her ex-boyfriend) - like when she throws a live shark through the window which proceeds to chase the ex-boyfriend around the apartment. That's the type of quality you should expect from this film - yawn...
