GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST (2009)
SYNOPSIS
Celebrity photographer Connor Mead (MATTHEW
McCONAUGHEY) loves freedom, fun and women...in
that order. A committed bachelor with a no-strings
policy, he thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple
women on a conference call while prepping his next
date.
Connor's brother Paul is more the romantic type. In
fact, he's about to be married. Unfortunately, on the eve
of the big event, Connor's mockery of romance proves
a real buzz-kill for Paul, the wedding party and a
houseful of well wishers -- including Connor's
childhood friend Jenny (JENNIFER GARNER), the one
woman in his life who has always seemed immune to
his considerable charm.
Just when it looks like Connor may single-handedly
ruin the wedding, he gets a wake-up call from the
ghost of his late Uncle Wayne (MICHAEL DOUGLAS), the
hard-partying, legendary ladies man upon whose
exploits Connor has modeled his lifestyle. Uncle Wayne
has an urgent message for his protege, which he
delivers through the ghosts of Connor's jilted
girlfriends -- past, present and future -- who take him
on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through a lifetime
of failed relationships.
