Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Nonureva Really Surprised!

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

comarrapese Listen up, this may not be the best movie of all time, but is is one of my favorites. This is an important difference to make out, because while this movie is filled with some cheesiness and bad acting and plot holes, it's so warm-hearted and awesome that i love to watch this movie. This movie would be nothing without Matthew Mcconahwgagysbnskalap, who kills this role. The final monologue is great for a rom com. In terms of rom coms, this movie is a classic for how great it is to watch and it is my favorite of the genre, sure it doesn't have the best cinematography but at its core, it has a cool idea with Mcconagwudkodpabhsidn in a great role for him that really goes at the roots of what love is. This is a great film

MinistryofDoom No, it doesn't have anything to do with Christmas, but it's basically a rip-off of Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". In this case, Matthew McConaughey's character, Connor Mead, is the hokey womanizer who isn't interested in tying himself down with a ball and chain (figuratively of course, there's no Ghost of Jacob Marley covered in chains) but is attending his brother's wedding at his dead Uncle's spooky mansion. Well, for the love of Dickens, he's visited by ghosts of three ex-girlfriends who show him the error of his chauvinist womanizing ways. Sorta. The problem here is...why does this guy have a three dead ex-girlfriends? How come the police aren't looking into that? It kinda raises an eyebrow. I get that he's the Ebenezer Scrooge of this tale but it just doesn't make sense. As far as Rom-Coms go, this one is the more uninspired of the long list of McConaughey Rom-Coms and, well, he's done quite a few of them. Overall, it's an entertaining way to spend roughly an hour an a half but don't expect too much out of this tale.

michael-3204 Matthew McConaughey is capable, when working with good material and decent collaborators, of excellent work in a wide range of roles. Strangely, though, I can't think of another actor as capable as McConaughey who nevertheless is incapable of elevating sub-standard material. He not only fails to make anything of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, his smarmy, mugging, hyperactive performance drags down what at least might have been passable Hollywood rom-com fair. He throws everything against the wall but nothing sticks, and he has no rapport with his co-stars, not even his beleaguered assistant (Noureen DeWulf), one of the very few female character in the film that supposedly doesn't want to have sex with him. With McConaughey creating such an unfillable void at the center of the film, the rest of the cast mostly flounders in schtick, especially Michael Douglas, Emma Stone and Lacey Chabert. Jennifer Garner is at least graceful as the woman who is supposed to be McConaughey's soulmate, which is such a depressing set-up that she can't do much with the role. At one point in the film, Breckin Meyer, playing McConaughey's hapless brother, tells him "No one wants you here." It's the truest line in the whole movie, and one the director, screenwriter and McCounaughey ought to have given more consideration. Maybe they could have salvaged something better from this tedious film.

badajoz-1 A lothario who can get any woman he wants is visited a la 'Christmas Carol' by ghostly figures of old girl friends and his uncle who taught him everything he knows. Of course he does not like what he sees, especially his 'meant to be girl from the age of 14,' whose heart he has broken. Guess what - he repents after that night. Along the way there is comedy - a truly excruciating performance from Matthew Maconaughey, a neat cameo from Michael Douglas, and a subdued thesping from Jennifer Garner as 'Tiny Tim.' There are some good lines, some delicate pokes at the reality behind romantic, so called strong, women for blokes to guffaw at, but it is not a work of genius or up there with the best rom coms. And for those grotesque US women critics who demand that Jennifer Garner's character becomes strong and gives the lothario what for - remember it is 'Christmas Carol' not 'The female Eunuch!!!'
