Movie Reviews of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Movie Review: a romantic comedy that actually appeals to me
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes yes, I KNOW. I'm a guy. I'm not supposed to like romantic comedies. Most of the time I DON'T like them. In fact on my profile page I even state how much I dislike them. But... every so often one comes along and forces me to lighten up. There, that's my excuse for enjoying Ghosts of Girlfriends Past!
Oh man, the main character in this film is someone who treats women like gold until he gets to sleep with them... and then in the middle of the night, he takes off running! Leaving the woman alone, hurt, and confused. What a horrible, dirty dirtbag!
Anyway, in the story, three separate ghosts come to visit this horrible man and try to show him the damage that his wreckless and irresponsible ways have caused these women in the past, present, and future.
A good chunk of storytelling for each of the three ghosts takes place (especially the past ghost) and all of them are very funny and highly entertaining. The man character, portrayed by Matthew McConaughey (who by the way, somewhat resembles a younger looking Bruce Springsteen, in my opinion) is definitely a good one.
What you definitely need to do however, is completely disregard the first 20 minutes of film, which were pretty boring and pointless. The film picks up after that point, and that's when you should start really paying attention.
It should also be noted that the film ventures into whacky and zanny territory several times (such as during a certain wedding cake scene) and that's honestly not a bad thing at all because it keeps the storytelling strong all the way to the finish line.
A funny comedy that guys shouldn't be ashamed to admit they liked (YOU know who you are, hehe)! After the film is over, you guys should be walking straight up to your girlfriend and going "Hey honey, *that* was a classic comedy!"
Summary of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST - DVD MovieStarring 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
