Ghosts of Girlfriends Past Trailers

Celebrity photographer Connor Mead lives life in the fast lane, committed to lifelong bachelorhood and simultaneous relationships with multiple women. On the eve of his younger brother Paul's wedding, Connor's mockery of love proves a real buzz-kill for everyone - including his childhood crush, Jenny, the one woman who always seemed immune to his considerable charms. Later that night, he gets a wake-up call from the ghost of his late Uncle Wayne, the hard-partying, legendary ladies' man who was Connor's mentor. Uncle Wayne has an urgent message which he delivers through three ghosts who guide Connor on an eye-opening tour of his romantic past, present and future. Along the way, they attempt to discern whether he will ever be able to change his ways -- and if there is any hope of him finding true love.

This movie is in a way very close to my heart because it mirrors me in a way and my early days I love this movie for several reasons 1) I is a "Christmas Carol" themed moves of what life was, is and will be in the future if things are left unchanged 2) I like Jennifer Garner movies 3) and finally it is a reflection on what MIGHT HAVE BEEN for me because of what happened to the hero also happened to me except in my case it was a girl that humiliated me in front of my friends turning me into a woman hater Except I never went the screw them all route I just wanted nothing to do with girls until Linda (my wife) came and stole my heart and showed me how wonderful woman could really be Today I love girls but my one and only girl is my wife Linda who showed me what love is truly all about I have no regrets about canceling my War game date to go out with Linda when she phoned to ask me out Best decision I ever made It is sadly a reflection of life in general and how one slip up can ruin a persons life One has to get back in there and stick it out Michael Douglas as Connors mentor did a good job messing up Connors life's but in the end he like Marley saw the error of his ways and came to Correct them before it was too late One thing that does stick out a lot is no matter which version of a Christmas Carol you watch the First ghost always seems to have the biggest cheeky and care free attitude Love this movie

Ghosts of girlfriends past starring Jennifer garner and Matthew Mconahey is actually a pretty cute Romantic comedy with good acting and funny lines of comedic dialogue. Emma Stone was absolutely hilarious in this movie! I couldn't stop laughing at her very funny lines of dialogue, her character was full of vibrant color and spirit. And Jennifer garner was very good in this film, I enjoyed her strong performance here, as well as Matthew's leading performance, he was good as well. This film is not a masterpiece, and yes, I have seen better, but to be honest, it was funny, cute, and kept my attention the whole way through. The chemistry between the characters is believable and real. Also I did like Anne Archer and her character in this movie, she was fun, and very well acted. A 7/10 overall.

You know what? I really liked this movie. Even though I pretty much despise and detest Matthew McConaughey, I still had a really fun time with this movie. That also goes for Jennifer Garner, I don't like her much either. Emma Stone is so funny in this movie, she just steals the show. She makes you think that you're watching a comedy, as apposed to a romantic comedy, which it apparently is. Don't get me wrong, I really like the romantic side of this movie. The actors are funny and very talented.This movie is about a boy and girl, who fell in love, but then fell out of love. The whole movie is based around Connor and Jenny's relationship. They were best friends when they were kids, then they got together during their teen years, and then a few years later, rekindled and hooked up. But because Connor was afraid of commitment, he left her in her bed, alone. They obviously didn't stay together. Now, a few years later, at Connor's brother's wedding, we see the pair meet once again. Connor doesn't know how to fix it, and when he goes up to his room he meets the Ghost Of Girlfriends Past. This ghost takes Connor on a spiritual journey to see how his life should be, instead of what it is. The movie ends with Connor and Jenny getting back together, which is a predictable ending, but an ending I wanted to see.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10.

GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PASTI am not a huge romantic comedy fan… but I don't mind Matthew McConaugheys films. He is actually quite funny. This was a disappointment though.It was alright mostly, but it was nothing great. I was hoping for more comedy but there wasn't really a lot to laugh about. The situations that Matthew gets in could have been funny, but instead were just cringe worthy. He plays a completely unlikeable character.The story is a complete rip off of A Christmas Carol. A guy is a womaniser and he get's visited by 3 ghosts to show him in the past, present and future etc… It is a classic story, but I think they killed it with this. They should stop making this now. The story has been made so many times and there are some great versions and some terrible ones. Enough is enough. I think Hollywood needs to think of some more original ideas. No more rehashes or remakes. 9 times out of 10 they are not better than the original, so why bother?The casting was alright… The films stars Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner and Michael Douglas. They all do reasonable jobs and were convincing in their roles. I just think Matthew needs to change the direction of his acting. I know he has started taking more serious roles now, which is a good thing. He was amazing in A Time to Kill. I still think that was his best film (that I have seen). Jennifer is a good actress, but has not really made anything that sticks out in my mind to make her a great actress… hopefully one day she will get that role that catapults her. Michael Douglas is a legend… he has made some fantastic movies in the past and I hope that he makes a lot more in the future.Ghosts of Girlfriends Past ran along at a good pace… I was not really bored throughout the movie. It kept me entertained, but I think it should have been so much more. Matthew seems to have made 1 too many romantic comedies.I will give this film 5 out of 10."So here's a couple of tips. When you first meet a girl you give her two compliments above the neck. Yeah, tell her she's got nice lips, nice eyes, nice hair... she's intelligent, her moral ethics, whatever crap comes to your mind. Then just when she begins to thinks that you're another - you know - vanilla nice guy that she can tool around with all night without getting naked... you insult her! Flip the power dynamic and your let her know that you're here to play."For more of my reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
