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?
