Editing Uma Thurman (section)

===Commercial fluctuations (2006–2011)===
In 2006, Thurman starred opposite [[Luke Wilson]] in ''[[My Super Ex-Girlfriend]]'', playing a superhero who is dumped by her boyfriend and then takes her revenge upon him. She received $14&nbsp;million for the role, but the film was panned by critics and made a modest $61&nbsp;million worldwide.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=superexgirlfriend.htm|title=My Super Ex-Girlfriend|publisher=Box Office Mono|access-date=April 29, 2017}}</ref> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' felt that it was a "miscalculation to make Thurman the antagonist. She does a sprightly satiric turn, but [it is] wasted in a movie that would rather tweak male paranoia than liberate a nerdette terrified of her powers".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/2006/07/26/my-super-ex-girlfriend-2/|title=My Super Ex-Girlfriend|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|access-date=April 29, 2017}}</ref> In the 2007 film ''[[The Life Before Her Eyes]]'', Thurman starred as an accident survivor whose guilt causes her present-day life to fall apart. It received a limited theatrical release and was dismissed by critics as "a confusing, painfully overwrought melodrama".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/life_before_her_eyes/|title=The Life Before Her Eyes (2007)|access-date=April 29, 2017|website=Rotten Tomatoes|date=April 18, 2008 }}</ref>

She also took on the role of a cocaine addict in the British television drama ''[[My Zinc Bed (film)|My Zinc Bed]]'', which garnered what was considered poor ratings, especially given her involvement.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/2008/08/viewers_dont_want_to_lie_in_bbc2s_zinc_bed.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090303053859/https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/2008/08/viewers_dont_want_to_lie_in_bbc2s_zinc_bed.html|title=Viewers turn down BBC2's Zinc Bed|date=August 28, 2008|access-date=September 23, 2018|website=[[Broadcast (magazine)|Broadcast]]|archive-date=March 3, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a127640/poor-showing-for-thurmans-zinc-bed.html|title=Poor showing for Thurman's 'Zinc Bed'|date=August 29, 2008|access-date=September 23, 2018|website=[[Digital Spy]]}}</ref>

In 2009's ''[[Motherhood (2009 film)|Motherhood]]'', she starred as a [[New York City]] mother whose dilemmas of marriage, work, and self are shown in the trials and tribulations of one pivotal day.

O. Scott felt that Thurman's character is "scattered, ambivalent, flaky and inconsistent—all of which is fine, and energetically conveyed by Ms. Thurman. But what are tolerable quirks in a person can be deadly to a narrative [...] the movie stumbles from loose and scruffy naturalism to sitcom tidiness".<ref>{{Cite news| url= https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/movies/23mother.html |url-status=live | title= Motherhood (2009): Manhattan Mom, Burning Home Fires at Both Ends | journal= The New York Times | date= October 23, 2009| first=A.O.| last= Scott | author-link=A.
