Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past


Connor is a womanizer and makes no apologies about it. He goes to his brother's wedding rehearsal and tries to convince him to back out. He tries to sabotage the wedding and tries to play mind games with both the bride and groom. While there, Connor is visited by his uncle's ghost, Wayne, who taught him everything he knows in seducing women. Wayne wants to open Connor's eyes to his womanizing ways and tells him that three women from his past, present, and future will show him these different aspects of his life. In his past, we learn that Connor was badly scarred by a girl named Jenny (who is also at the rehearsal). Since then, he has never committed to any girl and dates casually. In his present, his assistant Melanie shows him his shallow ways, giving him a peak into what his women say about him. In his future, he sees that Jenny is with someone else and he dies alone with no one loving him. At this point, the bride learns about a secret that Connor lets out about his brother which convinces her to call off the wedding. Connor becomes the savior and salvages the wedding by giving a convincing talk to the bride. They come back to the venue, where Connor opens up to Jenny about how he never stopped loving her.

Best part of story, including ending: McConaughey plays these charmingly flawed characters perfectly.

Best scene in story: When Connor can listen in on the women's conversations about him.

Opinion about the main character: Connor is shallow but he's like that because it's a defense mechanism to cope with his heartbreak.
