Movie Review : Ghost of Girlfriends Past


"Enjoyable, but not so special movie"

Synopsis :
Connor Mead, a successful fashion photographer and a Lothario keen on casual sex, goes to his younger brother's wedding to convince him not to marry. He arrives at his dead uncle's estate during the rehearsal the night before the wedding; he starts in, taking his brother aside, trashing marriage. Later in the men's room, his uncle, who taught Connor all he knows about women, appears to him, confesses to have been wrong, and tells Connor that three ghosts will visit him that night: the ghosts of girlfriends past, present, and future. Connor has already set the breakup in motion. Can he learn anything from his life and fix what he's broken?

I had no idea before about this movie. In fact, I thought it is a horror movie, considering the title has "Ghost" in it. I haven't seen the poster too. And, I was very wrong. It is a drama-comedy movie. This movie was enjoyable, but it's not a film that everyone will remember forever. It's just like another romance comedy movie. Not so special, but quite good. The story wasn't original. If you watch this movie, it will remind you to "A Christmas Carol." This movie has the same idea as Christmas Carol. A guy who loves to play women and doesn't have feeling, will be visited by 3 ghosts to remind him that his life would be bad if he continues act like that. So, just look like Christmas Carol, right? That's why I don't think this movie was special. But it was okay to watch. I still enjoy the plot, some jokes although they weren't funny enough to make me laugh, and the romantic scenes.Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey played good and they match each other. If you have a lot of free time, you may watch this. Maybe this movie can refresh your mind. That's why romance-comedy genre are created for movies right?
