Celebrity photographer Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) loves freedom, fun and women...in that order. A committed bachelor with a no-strings policy, he thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple women on a conference call while prepping his next date.Connor's brother Paul is more the romantic type. In fact, he's about to be married. Unfortunately, on the eve of the big event, Connor's mockery of romance proves a real buzz-kill for Paul, the wedding party and a houseful of well wishers--including Connor's childhood friend Jenny (Jennifer Garner), the one woman in his life who has always seemed immune to his considerable charm.Just when it looks like Connor may single-handedly ruin the wedding, he gets a wake-up call from the ghost of his late Uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas), the hard-partying, legendary ladies man upon whose exploits Connor has modeled his lifestyle. Uncle Wayne has an urgent message for his protege, which he delivers through the ghosts of Connor's jilted girlfriends--past, present and future--who take him on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through a lifetime of failed relationships. Together, they will discover what turned Connor into such a shameless player and whether he has a second chance to find - and this time, keep - the love of his life.This is your textbook romantic comedy where you know damn well everything that is going to happen before the house lights even dim in the theater. Its just a rehash of A Christmas Carol with McConaughey and Garner playing the same role they play in every movie. There are the over the top/cheesy supporting characters. There is the obligatory happy ending and if you think that I ruined that for you now you are an idiot for not knowing how this would turn out in the first place. All of that being said - I still enjoyed the movie. Sometimes you're just able to "enjoy" a movie regardless of how formula/predictable it is. This is one of those movies.
I would recoomend anyone who was interested in checking this movie out go ahead and do so. Its an enjoyable watch and would make a pretty good date movie.
