Description of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past:
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. --Lisanne Chastain
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past Reviews:
The 2nd worse movie I've ever seen 
2009-12-23 - I had high expectations for this movie with such great actors but it was a terrible waste of my time. I wish I had that time back.
GREAT MOVIE 
2009-12-16 - GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WASN'T SURE ABOUT THIS ONE,GOOD TO BE WRONG.ONE FILM I WOULD NOT MIND WATCHING OVER AND OVER
Disappointing
2009-12-07 - This movie is difficult to watch. The acting is bad and the movie plot is silly and over the top, the comedy is lame I didn't laugh once. One of the worst movies ever...
Pretty lame... 
2009-12-05 - So, I had a feeling I wouldn't like this movie. It looked pretty lame. And Matthew has been in a series of lame movies recently (Fool's Gold, Failure to Launch, Sahara, etc.) It's such a shame that Matthew went from what I thought was a stellar performance in Contact (of course, it was truly a well written script AND I think he did lots of great things with his role) to this. It's one giant cliche, really obvious plot lines, and for no point. And don't get me wrong, I can imagine how difficult it must be to write a romantic comedy in this day and age when there's been thousands that have gone before. It's hard to be original. And likewise, it's hard for an actor to do something that hasn't been done before (or at least not done a lot of in the past). Tons of history and precedence. But at some point, the question should go from, "How can we make this different?" to "Should we even bother?" If that had been the litmus test for this movie, I suspect it wouldn't have been made at all.
Not bad, but Not Great 
2009-11-21 - Movie was alright, but was not the best of McConaughey or Garners movie career although was entertaining and enjoyable.
