The successful fashion photographer Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) is a womanizer without feelings that has casual sex with every possible woman and worships his deceased wolf Uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas). A Funny Version of A Christmas Carol and Scrooge For them to have a chance at a good rom-com, they have to be much funnier. In theory they could make a good rom-com out of this. Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner make for a couple of good likable leads. Lacey Chabert tries her darndest to be comic relief. So this is a slightly different version of A Christmas Carol. The ghost of his uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas) comes to renounce all his chauvinistic ways, and tells him that three ghosts are coming to visit him that night. He goes to his younger brother Paul’s (Breckin Meyer) wedding to convince him the error of his way. Jenny Perotti (Jennifer Garner) is his childhood sweetheart, the one that got away. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past Movie Reviews Have to be much funnierĬonnor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) is a successful fashion photographer and a womanizer.

Yet, in many scenes, they’re acting opposite Breckin Meyer’s straight man from Road Trip and Matthew McConaughey’s laid-back, charming Matthew McConaughey. Take for example Lacey Chabert and Emma Stone, two beautiful actresses who so zealously buy into their physical tantrums and verbal harangues, they might have fit in nicely in Wedding Crashers or Harold And Kumar. Some seem to be acting in a comedy with some romance, others a romance with a little comedy. It’s never really made clear, and that’s confusing. ![]() Lovable, silly, cute and clichéd at parts, slow, indulgent, misguided and unfunny at others, Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past tries to be a raucous, high-energy fling through a decade of relationships or maybe tries to be a heart-felt, aww-shucks amble through those same relationships. This works, to varying degrees, for both Connor and the audience until all the comfortable notes are struck and the conclusion we’ve all been waiting for rears its good guy head. ![]() Of course, he walks back into her life at the wedding of his brother (Breckin Meyer), and after shamelessly hitting on the bride’s mother and every able-bodied woman this side of the Bunny Ranch, Uncle Wayne decides to help in Dickensian fashion by sending in three ghosts with aims on leading Connor back to Jenny and providing a little amusement for himself and the audience. She doesn’t fall for his lines, tells him he can’t come upstairs and makes him fall in love until she lets him upstairs and he lets her go. This one’s name is Jenny ( Jennifer Garner). ![]() But for every good rule there’s a better exception and behind every mediocre romantic comedy, there’s a girl who got away. Young ones, old ones, white ones, black ones, skinny ones and fat ones, Connor Mead loves ’em and leaves ’em all. His dearly departed Uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas) taught him from an early age the only foolproof way to permanently mend a broken heart is by continually breaking new ones. Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) is a talented photographer by nature, callous womanizer by training.
