Ghosts of Girlfriends Past DVD Review By John C.

*** (out of 4)

Conner Mead gets a visit from the ghosts of girlfriends past, present and future, to warn about how his life will end up if he doesn’t change. This is a funny and enjoyable above average romantic-comedy, but it’s also a slightly uneven one. Though it only seriously missteps when it falls into the “smashing the wedding cake” territory. The brief bit with the ruined cake and neurotic bride just seemed out of place with the rest of the film.

I enjoyed watching Michael Douglas as Uncle Wayne. His dialogue is appropriately dirty, and he gets the funniest lines in the film. The other actors all do fine jobs as well, but he gives the best performance in the movie. Overall, I found this is to be a pleasant and entertaining film that’s worth renting for a good night in.

The DVD has no bonus features.

*** (out of 4)

Unlike the incredibly boring He's Just Not That Into You, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past actually delivers as a fairly funny and entertaining romantic comedy. In the film, Connor Mead, (Matthew McConaughey) is a shallow guy who photographs models for a living. While he enjoys 'playing around,' he is afraid to commit to an actual relationship. When he goes to his brother's wedding, he openly gives his opinion of what he thinks of long-term relationships, upsetting everyone there, and causing him to be visited 'Christmas Carol style' by the three ghosts of girlfriends Past, Present, and Future. This of course leads to a nice, albeit predictable, character arc for Connor...

I enjoyed this movie, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a light romantic comedy, (if they don't mind some mature content). Whether you rent it, or buy it, this one is worth it. It's just good lighthearted fun.
