Have to be much funnier

Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) is a successful fashion photographer and a womanizer. Jenny Perotti (Jennifer Garner) is his childhood sweetheart, the one that got away. He goes to his younger brother Paul's (Breckin Meyer) wedding to convince him the error of his way. 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.

So this is a slightly different version of A Christmas Carol. It's a pretty good adaptation idea. I just don't find most of it funny. Lacey Chabert tries her darndest to be comic relief. That's right. Lacey Chabert is the funniest one here. Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner make for a couple of good likable leads. In theory they could make a good rom-com out of this. But the execution is lacking. For them to have a chance at a good rom-com, they have to be much funnier.

A Funny Version of A Christmas Carol and Scrooge

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). The bachelor Connor travels to Massachusetts to be the best man of his younger brother Paul (Breckin Meyer) on the night before the wedding for the rehearsal. However, he tries to convince Paul to call off the wedding with Sandra (Lacey Chabert). The maid of honor Jenny Perotti (Jennifer Garner) was Connor's sweetheart when he was a teenager and he still likes her. When Connor is visited by the ghost of Uncle Wayne, he advises that Connor's life is completely wrong and he will be visited by the ghosts of his girlfriends from the past, the present and the future along the night. Connor is haunted by the ghosts; learns the causes and consequences of his attitude toward women and reevaluates his life.

"Ghosts of my Girlfriends Past" is a funny and entertaining version of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" and "Scrooge", with feelings and love replacing greed and money. Jennifer Garner is amazingly gorgeous and the close of her face in the last scene is mesmerizing. Matthew McConaughey is hilarious in the role of a cynical bachelor and shows a great chemistry with Jennifer Garner. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Minhas Adoráveis Ex-Namoradas" ("My Lovely Ex- Girlfriends")

Lothario rising

Matthew McConaughey realised he was overdoing the rom coms soon after this film was released. I doubt he would be making one anytime soon and frankly he is not getting any younger and realised himself that its no use wasting talent for an easy pay cheque. Dallas Buyers Club and a best actor Oscar means that this is the last from the Matthew rom com period.

The film is a reworking of Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol' in fact at one point Matthew shouts Merry Christmas from an upstairs window when he has a nightmarish spiritual experience.

He plays a serial womaniser Connor Mead. A talented photographer but a mistake from his past and because of the influence of his womanising uncle (Michael Douglas) he lives for the moment, sex with many women and avoid any long term relationships.

On the eve of his brother's wedding day Matthew is visited by three spirits who want to show him that his shallow life is not as great as it sounds and might lead him to die alone and we seem him as a youth regretting the loss of his love (Jennifer Garner).

The film is not really very romantic, Matthew might live for the moment just like his beloved uncle, but no one focuses on the women who fall for his cheesy moves and pick up lines. Why no one asked the women; why fall for a lothario for less than a minute of sex in a toilet cubicle or such like?

McConaughey and Douglas (channeling legendary film producer, Robert Evans) make a great team. The film has a few laughs, not much drama. Easy going but no depth.
