Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
It’s "A Christmas Carol" meets any of Matthew McConaughey’s romantic comedies. Playboy photographer and player Connor Mead (McConaughey) doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage. At his younger brother’s wedding rehearsal, Connor is visited by the ghost of his Uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas) and the spirits of girlfriends past, present, and future. It is a predictable story line, but good physical stunts, a clever script, and comedic timing keeps the audience laughing and in stitches. A very funny cast of characters make up the wedding party. Jennifer Garner plays the sweet love interest. It’s a great chick flick and date movie that proves that fresh and smart is a lot funnier than crude and raunchy. This film is surprisingly more entertaining than you may have guessed.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "spooning and forking" stars out of 4.
