Sex and nudity in My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Two scenes depict characters having sex, with no nudity but vigorous motion and sounds, resulting in a bed being broken through a wall. In another scene, a character is stripped naked from a distance, showing brief rear nudity.

Violence is moderate and consistently played for laughs. G-Girl's acts of revenge include throwing a man's car into space and melting a vulgar word into its hood with heat vision. In one key scene, she hurls a live great white shark through a bedroom window to attack her ex and his new partner. The finale features a prolonged, destructive fight between two super-powered women, who throw each other through walls and across the city, though no one is graphically injured.
Language in My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Language is moderate, fitting the PG-13 rating. The dialogue includes several uses of sexually-derived insults like "whore" and "slut," particularly when two female characters fight. Other terms include "bitch," "bastard," and "ass." The word "dick" is used as an insult and is also burned onto a car by a character's heat vision.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Substance use is mild. Characters are shown drinking alcohol, such as wine and beer, in social settings like dinner dates and bar conversations. There is no depiction of drunkenness or substance abuse.
Mature themes in My Super Ex-Girlfriend
The central themes involve toxic relationships, obsessive jealousy, and revenge. Jenny's behavior after her breakup with Matt—including stalking, public humiliation, and destruction of property—is a primary focus. The film treats this obsessive behavior comedically but also depicts the genuine distress and professional ruin it causes for Matt. Reconciliation and understanding true love are eventual resolutions.
