Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009, USA) C-100m. SCOPE *** D: Mark Waters. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Michael Douglas, Emma Stone, Breckin Meyer, Lacey Chabert, Robert Forster, Anne Archer. Womanizer McConaughey, a successful photographer (and lover) of fashion models, travels to his brother's wedding only to meet Garner, his former love interest. He has become a cynical ladykiller and his remarks threaten to ruin the wedding. Then his dead uncle Douglas appears and takes him A CHRISTMAS CAROL - style into the past, the present and the future. Too contrived at the beginning, but manages to draw you in emotionally. Has nice settings and a great performance by Douglas.
