Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)

What's it about:

    Connor Mead is a fashion photographer and a very high profile one at that. He is a hard core playboy and has a way with the women. He sleeps with countless women. He goes back to his uncle’s home for his brother’s wedding. People are surprised to see him there, including his childhood sweetheart Jenny.
    He starts messing up things there unintentionally. The marriage is even broken at a stage. Then, he realizes all his past follies thanks to the intervention of 3 ghosts (his first sex partner, his secretary and an angelic woman) and his uncle's ghost. They take him through his past life, his relationship with Jenny, his numerous flings at women and he realizes his faults and repents for them. 
    Finally he patches up the marriage again and he also gets back his sweetheart Jenny. 

                                                                      

Hits
  • A normal story of a playboy mending his ways, told in a funny and cheeky way through ghosts and all.
  • Matthew McConaughey looks handsome and is apt as the playboy, but he looks gay with long hair in the flashback sequences. 
  • Michael Douglas as Uncle Wayne is uber cool with his attitude and demeanor. The way he calls Connor as Dutch is terrific. 
  • Jennifer Garner looks chic and charming. 
VERDICT
A feel good and pleasant relationship movie. Rated very low in IMDB but ...
