    Ghosts of Girlfriends Past -- movie review


    Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner were so adorable in this movie... it’s the typical all American girl and all American boy who grew up together knowing they were somehow linked. Growing up they went in opposite directions but eventually reconnect but McConaughey’s character Connor Mead can’t commit although he does love Garner’s character Jenny Perotti. Micheal Douglas plays Connor’s dead uncle who Connor grew up idolizing and pretty much lived his life how his uncle had in the past which causes Connors’ past girlfriends to visit him and have him watch his past relationships and reflect on how his actions hurt the women he has been involved in especially Jenny.

    I must admit I was slightly disappointed as a whole – thought I would laugh much more, but don’t get me wrong, the movie is cute and worth watching but if you don’t get a chance to go to the movies – definitely add it on your queue for netflix or blockbuster.

    Oh I was happy to see the supporting cast with Breckin Meyer (Can't Hardly Wait, 54, Blue State) as Connor’s little brother who is getting married to Sandra, played by Lacey Chabert (from party of five and the movie Mean Girls). And from the hilariously funny Superbad, Emma Stone played the first ghost of his past girlfriends.

    It was definitely a sweet movie and worth watching Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey. And I’m happy to report it’s been in the top five since it was released which is such a good sign when you have all the these action sci-fi films competing!
