Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)

Have I mentioned yet that Matthew McConaughey is a hunk? No? Matthew McConaughey is a babe. I’m sure you’re aware of that though, so let’s talk about Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect with Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. I love the above mentioned babe although I’m the first to admit I’ve seen him in some pretty wretched movies and Jennifer Garner… well, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about her. I adored her in 13 Going on 30, but some of her other movies – which shall remain nameless – have left me feeling a little underwhelmed. For that reason, I almost skipped this one. Then came the two words that made me run to the theater – Breckin and Meyer.

I love (an unnatural, almost shameful kind of love) Breckin. He is the epitome of adorable. The guy’s like a while basket of puppies with kittens on top. I call this the Breckin Factor. When I see his name attached to any project, I feel an undeniable force pulling me to it. Add to the Breckin Factor Lacey Chabert and Michael Douglas plus delicious Matty, and it was a must see.

All that said, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past was actually a pretty good movie. The plot seemed a little blah to me at first,  but they really made it work. There are some cringe-worthy over the top cheesy moments, but they’re few and far between and hey, it’s a chick flick. What would a chick flick be without a little cheese?

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past isn’t the best chick flick ever made, but it’s fun and has more than one great laugh out loud moment. My personal favorite involved the wedding cake. Hilarious. Worth a watch on a rainy afternoon or a lazy night at home.
