Overview: Celebrity photographer Connor Mead loves freedom, fun and women… in that order. A committed bachelor who thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple women on a conference call, Connor’s mockery of romance proves a real buzz-kill for his kid brother, Paul, and a houseful of well wishers on the eve of Paul’s wedding. Just when it looks like Connor may single-handedly ruin the wedding, he is visited by the ghosts of his former jilted girlfriends, who take him on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through his failed relationships–past, present and future. Together they attempt to find out what turned Connor into such an insensitive jerk and whether there is still hope for him to find true love…or if he really is the lost cause everyone thinks he is.

Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) is Fashion photographer and ladies man but the guy thinks that by dating every woman he meets he can keep the pain from his first love slipping away.  This philosophy was taught to him by his uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas). Out of the blue, at  his brother Paul’s (Breckin Meyer) wedding, Connor sees his childhood sweetheart Jenny Perotti (Jennifer Garner) again. It’s obviously to the viewer that Connor still has feelings for Jenny.

So then the ghost of several people come into Connor’s life to show him what happens with the women he hurt. Allison Vandermeersh (Emma Stone) is the present Ghost, Melanie (Noureen DeWulf) and future (Olga Maliouk). The ghost of his uncle Wayne let’s Connor know that he is destined to be alone if he doesn’t chage his ways. Then enters the “present” ghost. She shows Connor how happy the people around him are when ever he isn’t near them.

The “future” ghost shows Connor that his life is a lonely one, that no one except his brother will come to his funeral which is a sad thing to know. This movie had its moments which had me  at times bored but it picked up during the middle. It’s alright comedy flick, which I suggest watching it if you’re truly bored out of your mind and you need some chuckles then pick it up.
