McConaughey too once showed promise, but here he seems to be auditioning for a bad sitcom, while Garner misuses her gawky sincerity.

I suppose your reaction to the film will depend to some extent on whether or not you find Matthew McConaughey a charmer. I don't, so I found Connor repulsive with no redeeming features.

This movie I think really did the impossible. It makes Failure To Launch look like The Thin Man.

Dec 03, 2011Well, it's a modern version of A Christmas Carol with a little twist. Script was brainless but it's still fun to watchSylvester K Super Reviewer
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past Quotes
Connor Mead: | Someone once told me that the power in all relationships lies with whoever cares less, and he was right. But power isn't happiness, and I think that maybe happiness comes from caring more about people rather than less |
Uncle Wayne: | We're ghosts, baby. We're ageless. |
