Just before his brother's wedding, Connor, a womanizer who does not believe in love, is visited by the ghosts of his uncle and past girlfriends in an
Starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner and directed by Mark Waters (
Mean Girls),
Ghost of Girlfriends Past seems to be lacking some of the chemistry we have seen from the stars in similar romantic comedies, but is still entertaining and worth a watch. McConaughey plays a womanizer named Conner Mead far from settling down who is forced to take a
Christmas Carol-type journey through girlfriends of his past, present and future while attending his brother’s wedding weekend. Jenny (Garner) is the childhood sweetheart and longstanding object of his affection. Will he be able to grow up and admit his love for Jenny before the weekend is over, or will he continue his man-whore ways and lose her forever? Although McConaughey and Garner both tread familiar territory, they’re so good at it that you don’t mind. Some of the best scenes in the movie involve Michael Douglas, who is perfect as Conner’s dead uber-womanizing mentor Uncle Wayne, and Lacey Chabert, who is also hilarious as the stressed out bride-to-be. Yes, it’s predictable and cheesy, but it has some real moments and provides laughs--and that is exactly what a romantic comedy is for. --

| This movie is good, but not up to Matthew McConaughey standards. Of course, being one of his earlier movies that's understandable. I did enjoy the movie, but am glad I did not pay more for it. |

Matthew Maconaughanahanahay is a womanizing self-absorbed jerk with a bad tan going "awww raaaaht!" (Actually, that could be any one of a dozen movies.)
He shows up at his brother engagement dinner in order to deliberately wreck it. He offers to help his bro leave his bride at the altar, ruins the cake, and during the dinner toast, launches into a rant about marriage is a tyrannical institution and is as childish as the "eeester bunneh".
The ghosts don't even show up until the 30 min mark, and the title is a misnomer: actually, only the first ghost is an ex-girlfriend. The Jacob Marley of the movie is "Uncle Wayne" (Michael Douglas) a boozy ladies' man ghost who chastises Matt for being a bum. This despite overlong flashbacks showing Wayne molding Matt into the bum he is today. Uncle Wayne invented the term "MILF", or so the movie says. American Pie was not that long ago, morons.
Robert Forrester is in here, for some reason. Is he physically incapable of cracking a smile?
"Every night I sleep in a lake of sex". WHO TALKS LIKE THAT.
I like Hitch a lot more than this cheap ripoff. It's the same backstory, basically. Matt isn't responsible for his behavior, he just was heartbroken and deceived as a kid. Also, the protagonist is a caricature, obviously meant to be hated from the outset by every women watching. |

| Upon watching previews for this movie I thought it would be a complete comedy. I was completely disappointed. It was vulgar and boring. I don't believe I laughed at one part. I was so disappointed with it I actually threw it away. |

| its a chick flick no doubt but does have some good jokes about marriage and dating. mathew mcghony basically is a player. he is photographer for a mens magazine where he takes pictures of women dressed in lingerie and sleeps with all ofthem. at his brothers wedding he comes across jennifer gardner who is the only woman he has actually cared for. when he turns her down he ends up meeting 3 ghosts just like in the christmas carroll who basically show him the errors in his ways. this movie is entertaining but it is the christmas carroll all over again only this time its about dating and marriage. this movie does offer some good laughs and is well acted. it is worth watching. |
