(1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 14% Rotten Page   1   3/5 "When it sticks to the interpersonal stuff, the emotional links between old lovers, close brothers, and the family that supports both, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is quite tolerable."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron C- "Ghosts is a Matthew McConaughey romantic comedy that would be better off without Matthew McConaughey. It's come to a point in this performer's career where his inability to alter his natural spray-tanned ooze has rendered his acting tiresome."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 1/10 "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past submits that Connor deserves to be saved by Jenny. But it never shows how or why she should bother with him."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/5 "There are some things that even Matthew McConaughey's laid-back charm can't fix."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2/5 "For a movie about ghosts, it's lacking in spirit."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "Carves out a little place for itself as one of the few romantic comedies of 2009 that doesn't annoy or insult the viewer's intelligence."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman D "The screenplay never comes to grips with the fact that Connor IS A LOATHSOME HUMAN BEING."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "You know you're watching a bare-bones, witless screenplay when the writers can't merge the Dickensian parable with the morals of modern-day casual sex by making a good old-fashioned Yet-To-Come joke about the final ghost."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 1.5/4 "[An] odious romantic comedy...has all the depth and charm of an unwashed pillow case. Needlessly unimaginative and cloying..."   Associated Content   Frank Ochieng D+ "This crude reworking of Dickens was probably a bad idea to begin with, but it's so haplessly done that it didn't have a ghost of a chance."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Is there no end to mediocre and outright lousy movies about weddings and the silly and sad things that happen at them? Here's another strained and unengaging one."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "The Dickens elements elevate Ghosts of Girlfriends Past above the level of pure formula; unfortunately, the presence of McConaughey in full sleaze mode makes it difficult to like this film's Scrooge, even after his redemption occurs."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/5 "There are a few laughs in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, to be sure; you can even hear them over the sound of Charles Dickens spinning in his grave."   Redbox   James Rocchi 2/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 4/10 "Although there are some sweetly sentimental moments, they are not nearly enough to redeem what is otherwise a fairly mean-spirited film."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/5 "far better than the last two opening summer weekend counter-programming choices (Made of Honor last year and the dreadful Lucky You in 2007)"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C "It's mostly just there and is unevenly paced, but has a few moments."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Even trying to think about Ghosts of Girlfriends Past from a snarky perspective makes me want to vomit. This is a repulsive movie..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1/4 "Ideally, you want to see the male and female leads end up together in a romantic comedy; if not, it all starts to become kind of creepy."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "Not as deep as Matthew McConaughey's dimples."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2/4 "The plot's eventual denigration of the single life and endorsement of soul mates and happily-ever-afters is predictably rote."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "a.k.a. "The Bride Wore Blah""   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "A watchable pastiche of A Christmas Carol, this rom-com resorts to corny slapstick a bit too often but also manages to find moments of real resonance"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "McConaughey is mildly coasting. He has danced these steps before."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 6/10 "Ephemeral, ridiculously amusing 'date movie' that will evaporate before summer."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 4/10 "Lose Michael Douglas and there is pretty much nothing about the movie that's appealing in even the smallest degree."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 0/4 "appalling, hateful, reptilian, inept"   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 14% Rotten Page   1
