Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past

I can see the executives sitting around the table discussing the genesis of this movie: "It's a Christmas Carol, except Ebenezer Scrooge is a hot sex-crazed fashion photographer, Tiny Tim will be his brother who is going to be getting married and Jacob Marley will be his long-dead benefactor Uncle who taught him everything he knows about women." At least 'Scrooged' had the good sense to keep it about Christmas.  Charles Dickens material as a romantic comedy?  Strangely, this fun little movie actually works!
One of my wife's favourite talking bare chests (sadly my chest is not on the list), Matthew McConaughey, plays Connor Mead, the sexy photographer who can break up with multiple women over the internet and (almost) get away with it.  He doesn't believe in the institution of marriage, so when his little brother asks him to be his best man at his own wedding, Connor believes he needs to stop him from making a terrible mistake and do everything he can to prevent the wedding.  Everything is happening at his late Uncle's mansion, and on the night before the wedding, Uncle Wayne, played by the always brilliant Michael Douglas turns up.  There were two things wrong.  One, he told Connor that he was wrong when he taught him about marriage and that he needs to do everything he can to save the marriage, and two, he's been dead for ages and is a walking ghost!  He tells him that he will be visited by three ghosts of girlfriends past, present and future and to change his ways.
To complicate things, the one girl that could have been the love of his life if he had treated her properly is also at the wedding.  She is Jenny Perotti played by the incredibly talented and beautiful Jennifer Garner.
After doing his best to destroy the wedding, can Connor save the day, bring the love birds back together, and save himself, letting his heart be captured by one woman?
The bride's parents are played by Robert Forster and the still sexy Anne Archer.
This was a great little movie which I fully recommend to anyone wanting to watch a good quality romantic comedy. 8/10
