WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're into romantic comedies, are fans of anyone in the cast, and/or like stories related to Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," they might be interested.

Connor thinks his uncle is an alcohol-fueled hallucination until he finds Allison Vandermeersh (EMMA STONE) in his bed. He's less thrilled, however, and actually quite shocked, to have an encounter with Uncle Wayne who informs him that he'll be visited by three other ghosts - from Connor's past, present and future - who will show him the error of his womanizing ways.
But that also means his sexy ex-wife, Vondra (ANNE ARCHER), will be in attendance, much to the delight of Connor. She isn't crazy to see Connor, which also holds true for Sandra's father, Sergeant Volkom (ROBERT FORSTER), a Korean War vet who will be officiating at the ceremony. That includes Jenny Perotti (JENNIFER GARNER), a physician and the only woman who nearly got him by the heart after knowing each other since they were kids. Besides, it allows him to see the various bridesmaids, all but one of which he's previously bedded. While his assistant, Melanie (NOUREEN DeWULF), handles his scheduling and business affairs, he usually ends up bedding his lingerie models, following the advice of his late Uncle Wayne (MICHAEL DOUGLAS) in terms of getting women in bed but never committing to any of them.Īccordingly, he really isn't in favor of his younger brother, Paul (BRECKIN MEYER), marrying Sandra (LACEY CHABERT), but agrees to be the best man at their wedding.

It is that face that keeps us, and Connor, believing in Jenny.(2009) (Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner) (PG-13) But Garner, simultaneously feisty and grounded, has that ability to let emotion flicker across her face at a whim. As Connor, McConaughey is fine, he's convincing. Throughout the ensuing years, Connor keeps blowing his chance to be happy with Jenny - one, because she doesn't buy his act, and two, he just can't get himself to commit. At that tender age, his Uncle begins Connor's private education and teaches him how never to be hurt by a woman again. Allison takes him through middle school, where Jenny unwittingly breaks his heart. The first of those is the 10-year-old Jenny, with whom he shared his innocent first kiss.
She is the ghost of girlfriend past, come to escort him through his many former exploits. Just when Connor is convinced that Uncle Wayne was a hallucination, Allison Vandermeersh, Connor's first sex partner, an apparition from the year 1986, appears in his bed. He tells Connor that during the course of one night, he will be visited by three ghosts, who will help him see the error of his ways. The story picks up when the ghost of Uncle Wayne appears, a smarmy, stuck in the '70s kind of guy, played by Michael Douglas. He makes a speech condemning the institution of marriage - he is the marriage Scrooge in this A Christmas Carol metaphor. At the rehearsal dinner, he makes a speech condemning the institution of marriage - he is the marriage Scrooge in this A Christmas Carol metaphor. There, he runs into childhood sweetheart/maid of honour, Jenny Perotti, played by Jennifer Garner. He returns to Uncle Wayne's mansion for the weekend to celebrate his brother's wedding, having already slept with three of the four bridesmaids, and tries to convince his brother not to get married by bribing him with his Jaguar. He learned it all from his womanising Uncle Wayne, who has since passed away. He plays Connor Mead, a smooth, handsome jerk who has made an art of the one-night stand - to the extent that in the course of the first few scenes he breaks up with three girls at once on a conference call. This gets off to a bit of slow start but you stick with it, because it does, after all, star Matthew McConaughey.
