Ghosts Of Girlfriend's Past

Second film sorta review on my blog since i created it, this time about a fairly soppy chick flick. So - tissues and aero balls at the ready! GOGP (I don't have the pateince of a saint, so i'll abbreviate the name) has all the classic traits of a good chick flick - humour, romance, tear jerking moments, and some seriously hot man candy (in the ever so delightful shape of Matthew McConaughey. So, check, check, chek and... check.

The plot is a very basic micky take of A Christmas Carol, a womanizer goes to his brother's wedding, screws it up (no, not the bridesmaids, amazingly, just the wedding) and meets the ghost of his dead adoptive Dad. Also, a complete womanizer- but one who has en the error of his ways. He warns Connor Mead (MM) that he will be visited by 3 ghosts that night - yep, you guessed it, Past, Present, and Future. He is visited by all these ghosts, and in the process learns that he shouldn't have turned out like this - he should always have... but no, that would give the plot away =]

Along the way he manages to grope the brides mother, tell the bride her bridesmaid screwed the groom, drink a whole lot of scotch, and completely decimate a cake (as well as at least 5 women). So, this film is good for a laugh, although it does drag on a bit in some places. It's a great chick flick, for those nights in with the girls - so, nail varnish at the ready!

And, even if you despise the thought of clinging to the tissues while watching a chick flick - don't despair! Because you would have to have a funny bone of steel not to love the humour in this film. So, i think thats everything i have to say about now... not the most interesting blog post ever, but i think it suffices for now =]

Goodnight, my lovely followers. xxx

  1. Why can I already imagine how is this movie? XD I guess I should find the name it got here (as movies titles for some reason are never translated properly - case in point: "Torque" got renamed "Fury on two wheels" x_X).

  2. xD - fail translation is fail, though i do get the meaning. I think the movie is basically a generic chick flick.
