Plot

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is an upcoming 2009 American romantic comedy film that offers a new take on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
A womanizer (Matthew McConaughey) is haunted by the ghosts of his former girlfriends at his younger brother’s (Breckin Meyer) wedding. The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (Emma Stone), Present (Noureen DeWulf), and Future (Amanda Walsh) take him on a journey through his romantic history (Ã la Ebenezer Scrooge) to help him come to a realization about his ways with women and as well as what he lost with the one woman he was previously intimate and passionately with since childhood.

The Verdict.

Why does this film remind us of 17 Again starring Zac Efron. Initial critic reviews are poor on this film but we rarelyÂ agree with the critics. Romantic Comedy is the billing they’ve got the first part right, its a romantic film, comedy…….not so sure, we didn’t laugh once. A Christmas Carol is superb in book and film format and a good life lesson teacher, this film is a poor rendition of the original idea. A technically not great film and probably one of those films that we would walk out on half way through.Â Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner do an admirable job in a poor film and even Michael Douglas with his superior star quality cannot save the day. For once we agree with the critics on this one. Rating 1 and half stars out 5Â The half star is for Jennifer Garner. She is looking very good indeed and we love the “Appendage removal” line which seems to be the highlight of the film! Box office wise this has flop and disaster written all over it, but sometimes these films irritatingly do very well and end up No1 for weeks. We hope this will not be the case !
