Ghosts of Girlfriends Past – Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner.

This movie was really cute. I wasn’t that interested in watching it but my daughter rented it and encouraged me to give it a try. I do enjoy both Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner so I thought why not. I was in for a real treat.

Connor played by McConaughey finds out early in life just how much love can hurt. Jenny played by Garner unintentionally shuns Connor as a teenager wounding Connor to the point of, it seems no return.

Connor and his younger brother having lost both parents at a young age live with their uncle Wayne, played by Michael Douglas. Hurting over Jenny’s accidental betrayal he learns real quick, from his uncle how not to fall in love again and that women can be used in just a physical way. Connor becomes so emotionally detached that he loses his sense of what a real relationship entails.

Along with finding Jenny again he also experiences three ghosts that take him through his detailed and unfeeling past, present and future. While watching his life unfold before him he soon learns what he has missed out on and that his true love lies with Jenny.

I really liked watching McConaughey make a fool of himself and watching how Garner comes to his rescue. Here are the mistakes I found.

During the scene when Jenny’s friend is at her rehearsal dinner Connor receives a phone call on his cell phone. If you look closely at his phone he is talking into it upside down.

When Jenny is dancing with Brad, played by Daniel Sunjata, you can see she is wearing closed shoes. When she hears a commotion in the kitchen she goes to see what it is, as she walks in she is wearing sandals.

Towards the end of the movie Connor runs down the wedding party in his uncle’s old Cadillac. After crashing into the lake he jumps out and locks them in the car except for his brother’s fiancé played by Lacey Chabert. It appears that the other women can’t get out of the car. They should have been able to unlock the car from the inside.

If you like romantic comedies with a happy ending you will love this one. I recommend it to anyone, not to mention getting to see Mathew McConaughey’s extreme goods looks.
