Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
I went.
Yes, there was a woman involved.
Miraculously when the movie was over I hadn’t gnawed through my wrists in an attempt to compensate for the lack of available razor blades.
Poor old Matthew McConaughey… looking a bit weathered these days not that I’m jelouse of your fame & fortune, must have been all those movies in the glaring sun of the Sahara and treasure hunting without a shirt. Maybe he’s just worn out from spending so much time with Penélope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Izabella Scorupco and Sarah Jessica Parker, yep I now hate the man ….. okay maybe not SJP, she’s about the most unattractive and masculine woman that Hollywood has tried down to ram down our throats as a ’sexy’ female.
Damn.. now the legion will be hunting me down with their razor edged stiletto heels and Christian Dior garrotes for insulting the feminist icon that is Carrie Bradshaw. Aparently otherwise intelligent women can’t distinguish the actress from her character in that emasculating, sex obsessed, socially retarded soap opera.
So where was I? Oh yes, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. The Hugh Hefner Story meets A Christmas Carol. The Hugh character (Michael Douglas) called Uncle Wayne appears to his protege (Matthew) to give him warnings (ala Scrooge) about the path he is going down. This Wayne mannor doesn’t seem to have a bat cave lurking under it, but there are definately bats in the belfry. Insert horny bridesmaids (after all every bridesmaid is trying to get laid) and goofy groomsmen (jocks don’t attend weddings), and the misogynistic lead and we’ve got an original, hilarious, passable romantic comedy about emotional scar tissue and how people do stupid things.
It wasn’t the usual crap, I can get Matthew as the romantic lead, he’s got the rep. I get behind Michael as the prophet of pimping, after all the man won himself Catherine Zeta-Jones, and that is a prize every man worth his testosterone can respect. Jennifer Garner is showing us that she’s not a bad actress, yet somehow the movie as a whole wasn’t much more then okay.
Noureen DeWulf
The saving graces of the movie were Noureen DeWulf (as cute as ever) and Lacey Chabert (all grown up now), both of them played entertaining characters really well, and both are smoking hot.
Lacey Chabert
Thanks for the info..nice movie
