If the script for this comic spin on Fatal Attraction were only a tenth as hot as Uma Thurman, director Ivan Reitman might have had something here. Instead, he's stuck with one joke stretched so thin it's anorexic. Thurman glams down to play Jenny, a woman whose architect boyfriend (Luke Wilson) has no idea she's a babe superhero until he dumps her. Then she turns avenger who's out to boil more than his rabbit. Sound funny? After ten minutes, it isn't.

    “Time to Pretend”

    MGMT | 2008

    Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
