I am a big fan of movies whether they be dark and twisty, action packed or sweet and funny. Romantic comedies sure are predictable and lack a shocking ending but sometimes that's what I want.
Matthew McConaughey plays the suave and sleazy debonair, Connor Mead who has a new girl not everyday, but every hour! His rakish ways were taught to him by his Uncle Wayne(Michael Douglas), who he continues to revere as the ultimate bachelor. He returns home to play best man to his kid brother, Paul. While Connor is trying keep Paul away from the alter, the only person who can take his snarky words is Jenny Perotti (Jennifer Garner), his childhood friend and ex-girlfriend. Connor is on the brink of ruining the wedding when the ghost of his beloved Uncle Wayne arrives and tells him he will be visited by three ghosts who will attempt to show him the error of his womanizing ways.
Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past is a typical romantic comedy with a typical romantic ending, but that's not a bad thing. The story made me laugh and want to slap McConaughey's face at times which only proves how good of an actor he is. He and Garner has some good chemistry and some of his monologues seriously left me choked up.
I was a little disappointed with the ending because they kind of skewed away from the happy couple and turned into a sort of silly bit of fun. It was cute, but I think the traditional ending would have suited this better.
All in all, great fun. It's a movie you want to watch with a gallon of ice cream on a rainy day. It's sweet, romantic and just down right hilarious!
