  Another revival of “A Christmas Carol”, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is another foray into the classic Dickens tale. Matthew McConaughey plays Connor Mead is the successful playboy photographer who reluctantly returns to his childhood home for his younger brother’s wedding.
  He loves his brother but thinks marriage an outdated and useless
  formality and prefers the lothario life his uncle lived.
  He meets Jenny Perotti, played by Jennifer Garner, and their feelings for each other resurface.
  Both were childhood sweethearts before a lot of drama got between them.
  Wackiness ensues as Connor’s cynicism seeps into the wedding party, and he is re-visited ...
- by 3 ghosts of girlfriends past, present, and future.
  He explores his experiences to discover his relationship fears and salvage what he could have with Jenny, before she moves into the arms of someone else.
  
  This movie follows like any other Christmas Carol remake.
  McConaughey and Garner play their characters to the
  hilt.
  McConaughey is the smarmy yet charming playboy who Garner’s character does her best to improve.
  Their chemistry is sweet and believable.
  The ending is obvious, but that’s because “A Christmas Carol” has been revamped so many times.
  Though predictable, it is still a nice holiday romantic comedy to sit through.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is not bad of a movie, if you ask me. Starring Matthew McConaughey, the beautiful Jennifer Garner and the very talented Michael Douglas, this is a movie not to be watched for those loving romantic comedies. There are quite a few laughable plots, ...

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it's positively brilliant. Okay, so it's a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there's a moment at the end when McConaughey's character teases just a bit about ...

Movie: “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past”

I was very excited to see the new romantic comedy, "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past". It's a modern love story version of the Charles Dickens classic "A Christmas Carol". I adore Dickens, and I'm always up for a modern remake a la "West Side Story" or "The Diary of Bridget ...

13 Ghosts (movie)

13 Ghosts is a movie about 13 Ghosts in a special house, trapped away until...yeah, that's the clencher...until someone and something comes along to provoke a very special event. 13 Ghosts was really hard for me to watch because it moved so quickly and the ghostly visions were here ...

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) movie

Before I went into the cinema, I had higher expectations from the movie because I had already watched a trailer of the film a long as soon as it was out. I was really excited to see the film, I like Jennifer Garner, and she is definitely one of ...

Ghost of Girlfriends Past Movie

When I saw this movie, I immediately expected it to be a good one since it features Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey; Michael Douglas has a cameo role in this and it just adds flavor to the movie. The story is about a young bachelor named Connor Mead (Matthew ...

Thirteen Ghosts

The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it's a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it's still a bonus to watch this. I felt that this movie is like one of ...

Thir13een Ghosts (2001)

It starts with real promise to be a great horror movie as they try to snag the juggernaut. Up to that point, this film was living up to being good, but just as fate would have it...while the other ghosts were some-what gruesome to look at, they were not ...

Thirteen Ghosts (movie)

I don't know about you all but I enjoy the series called Mr Monk on cable. Before Mr Monk came on the TV, the star of the show was in a movie called Thirteen Ghosts. Although this movie would never win an academy award, it was interesting ...

Daddy’s Little Girls movie

Daddy's Little Girls is one of those "feel-good" films starring a predominantly all-black cast. Starring Gabrielle Union and British-born Idris Elba, the story revolves around a single-father ex-con, limo driver who happens to fall for a successful young lawyer (Union). His fight to remain in his three ...

Thirteen Ghost’s (2001 Film)

The 2001 film Thirteen Ghosts does wonders if you are looking to be scared of things that go bump in the night, or the things you can’t see that go bump in the night. But other than the scary ghost that left me wondering if I was truly alone, ...

The Sixth Sense

The Sixth Sense is a very fine psychological thriller/horror movie. The movie, which is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is a wide hit across the world. The movie has Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment and Toni Collette playing the pivotal roles and the best thing about the movie is ...

A Christmas Carol 1999 movie

A Christmas Carol, 1999, starring Patrick Stewart, has left me disappointed. I love the story, and I thought Stewart could make a good Scrooge, but his performance had not touched me at all. The movie followed the book closely enough. Scrooge, a lonely, hard-hearted businessman, hates Christmas because he ...
