Such a frustrating disappointment

Overrated and overhyped

Boring

Absolutely brilliant

It's not a masterpiece but Jesus, calm your farm and enjoy it for what it is. No one did a bad job of acting, it's a great line up, and regardless of the unoriginal message in it, SADLY we live in a world where WE NEED this reminder CONSTANTLY. So STFU and just appreciate it.I was expecting garbage and finished up pleasantly surprised. Anyone with high expectations, just P*ss off and find something else to be miserable about!Again, it's not Oscar winning, but I enjoyed it and I HATE romance films.

What would Charles Dickens think if he could see his work, his masterpieces manhandled in such a reckless way?Quite obvious for all to see, "Ghosts of girlfriends past" is just another pathetic rip off of "A Christmas Carol", yes there's enough differences to make this film unique in its own right, but there's no denying where the blatant inspiration came from. 'You will be visited by three ghosts...' yeah-yeah we all get it, only these three ghosts are of course not the ghosts of Christmas, but the ghosts of former girlfriends, sounds pretty lame right? That's because the film is as lame as it gets, but enjoyable all the same. Trying to become a serious actor, Matthew McConaughey takes a series bump in the road and a serious dent in the resume by taking on the role of super-stud Connor Mead..., a guy who is now an Academy Award winner and genuine leading man should realistically be avoiding films like this because they are somewhat beneath him. Yet here we are, his performance was pretty decent in all honesty, but could he have afforded to give any less? It was McConaughey's A-list performance that gave a real boost to the overall film, for I felt that without him the film wouldn't have been anywhere near as good it was, and the film as it is barely gets a passing grade. Michael Douglas as the dearly departed Uncle Wayne was another standout performance, Douglas really didn't need the role but at his age I guess he can do what he wants, he's earned it.Sadly I felt that Jennifer Garner wrote her performance in and didn't truly seem committed to the role, something she seems to do in a lot of her films and probably the main cause for why her career has probably been held down. Out of the supporting cast there's a recognisable name, a youngish Emma Stone has a semi-important role, this of course during the early days of her fledgling career, she would of course go onto bigger and better things; as for the rest of the supporting cast, there's a who's who of who's that? Character actors of no real fame getting lucky by landing a role in a mainstream production, some were okay, some weren't, nothing to write home about. "Ghosts of girlfriends past" can easily be defined as a chic-flick and that's basically all it is, don't expect any major thrills but it's an easy way to kill an hour or two.

A movie inspired by the classic "A Christmas tale". In this movie the theme is not Christmas spirit but superficiality, relations, sex and regret. In the beginning I was just irritable because of the main characters disgusting sexism which he never seemed to be able to put aside and stop with but as longer as I watched the better it became. Sure, the movie ended predictable and it contained a lot of clichés but despite that it was very nice and perfect to watch in one of those days when you don't want to watch something deep or complicated. The movie "Ghost of girlfriends past" is easygoing and has great actors. What takes down the rate is the clichés but despite that; nice and chill movie!

Matthew McConaughey realised he was overdoing the rom coms soon after this film was released. I doubt he would be making one anytime soon and frankly he is not getting any younger and realised himself that its no use wasting talent for an easy pay cheque. Dallas Buyers Club and a best actor Oscar means that this is the last from the Matthew rom com period.The film is a reworking of Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol' in fact at one point Matthew shouts Merry Christmas from an upstairs window when he has a nightmarish spiritual experience.He plays a serial womaniser Connor Mead. A talented photographer but a mistake from his past and because of the influence of his womanising uncle (Michael Douglas) he lives for the moment, sex with many women and avoid any long term relationships.On the eve of his brother's wedding day Matthew is visited by three spirits who want to show him that his shallow life is not as great as it sounds and might lead him to die alone and we seem him as a youth regretting the loss of his love (Jennifer Garner).The film is not really very romantic, Matthew might live for the moment just like his beloved uncle, but no one focuses on the women who fall for his cheesy moves and pick up lines. Why no one asked the women; why fall for a lothario for less than a minute of sex in a toilet cubicle or such like?McConaughey and Douglas (channeling legendary film producer, Robert Evans) make a great team. The film has a few laughs, not much drama. Easy going but no depth.
