Future is dull, but capped with a clever Scrooge riff. There's wedding cake slapstick (and very bad continuity) and 'fun' with grooms and bridesmaids. (And call me crazy, but the shoulder length hair McConaughey sports in this segment suits him.) When we move into the present, guided by assistant Melanie (Noureen DeWulf, 'American Dreamz'), the film flatlines again and never really recovers. Of course, she's blessed with delivering the back story of what happened to Connor and Jennifer's relationship, the meat of the film. Douglas's appearance gives the film a lift and Emma Stone ('The Rocker,' 'The House Bunny') as Allison Vandermeersh, the ghost of girlfriends past, almost makes it bounce for a while.

His boorish behavior at his brother's rehearsal dinner isn't amusing either, although his attempted pickup of his sister-in-law to-be's mother, Vonda (Anne Archer, 'Patriot Games,' 'Man of the House'), has a little spark, mostly due to Archer (and the fact that Connor may be sexist, but at least he's not ageist). Connor has his assistant video conference his last three dates so he can 'group dump' them as his current hookup looks on (and stays!). None of them arrive in the film's set up in which we're to believe that a famous photographer comes into a shoot where everything is so prearranged he literally just presses the button on the camera. It's mostly just there and is unevenly paced, but has a few moments.

That said, 'Ghosts of Girlfriends' past is better than getting poked in the eye with a stick. Then one notes that 'Ghosts' was written by the duo behind 'Four Christmases' and one's expectations sink again. Movies starring Matthew McConaughey generally don't inspire much hope for anything resembling quality, or, even, entertainment, but Jennifer Garner is always likeable and director Mark Waters ('Mean Girls,' 'The Spiderwick Chronicles') has a pretty good track record.
