The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past Review

Thursday, 04/06/09 - 18:29PM Filed in Film by sarah | Views: 445 | Comments: 0

Matthew McConaughey is back with his speciality: romantic comedy. McConaughey plays Connor Mead, a successful photographer and womaniser who’s crummy at love and totally unable to commit to a serious relationship. He’s been enjoying a good womanising run for years but things are about to change (duh).

Connor’s redemption comes in the form of adorably dimpled Jennifer Garner, who plays wholesome Jenny Perotti, Connor’s old flame. In the vein of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol, Connor is visited by the The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (Emma Stone), Present (Noureen DeWulf) and Future (Amanda Walsh) at a momentous event—the wedding of his younger brother, played by Breckin Meyer.

At this turning point, the three ghosts take the womaniser on a requisite journey through his abysmal romantic history to awaken his moral sensitivity. About time, too. Feminists may cringe at this piece of celluloid fluff, but at least Connor morphs into a sensitive, commitment-hungry butterfly in the end, right?

From the director of such lighthearted romps as Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, the script for The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past fell into the right hands. Waters knows exactly who the audience is for his latest flick—women. Girlfriends are going to be heading to cinemas in droves for The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and hapless boyfriends are certain to be dragged along whether they like it or not. This romantic comedy is unavoidable so submit to the inevitable and set aside that RM11.

Cast Breckin Meyer, Emma Stone, Jennifer Garner, Lacey Chabert, Matthew McConaughey, Michael Douglas Director Mark Waters Runtime 100 mins Opens 4 June
