This movie was somewhat boring to me, and I typically love a good romance story. The funniest lines in the movie are what you already saw on the trailers for the movie. One gay character has a short, one line appearance. The cast use vulgarity and curse words throughout the film. One of the ghosts mentions that child protective services should have been called.Įxcessive drinking of alcohol is rampant in this movie. This teaching and encouragement to drink alcohol as a minor constitutes child abuse. The quest to “catch” a woman is all part of the game Connor’s dead uncle taught him as a young boy. The movie also portrays women as shallow, desperate, and aggressive-something you would not want your teenage daughter to be. Instead, just living life to the fullest and sleeping with whomever you like is glamorized. Marriage is portrayed as a worthless event, not intended for the intelligent man or woman. Fornication is an everyday occurrence in the lives of these characters. This movie is coated with sexual jokes, sexual references, and provocative behavior. (No Christian references are made in this movie.) Summary I will say that Connor shows some redemptive qualities in the end, which give the Christian audience a glimmer of hope. I won’t spoil the ending by telling what happens next. It takes a lot for him to see the pain he has inflicted by his repulsive behavior. One ghost takes him to the past, one to the present, and one to the future, to show him the damage he has done by his lack of care for all the women in his life. He appears in ghost form and informs Connor of the impending visits he will receive that evening from three ghosts. In the mean time, Connor is visited in the bathroom by his dead Uncle Wayne, played by Michael Douglas. Connor is supposed to be his brother’s best man at the wedding, but his lack of feeling and disregard for others causes him to nearly ruin his brother’s wedding. The women in the wedding party are just as shallow and immoral as Connor Mead, with the exception of Connor’s old love, Jenny, played by Jennifer Garner. The majority of the storyline takes place at his dead uncle’s residence-a beautiful mansion where his younger brother is getting married to the woman of his dreams. He uses women for his own pleasure without regard for their feelings or well-being. Connor is a man who doesn’t believe in love or marriage but believes very much in shallow, physical relationships with countless women. The movie began with Matthew McConaughey, playing as a famous model photographer, Connor Mead. The theater I went to was jam packed with teenage girls-everywhere. I knew going into this movie that it was going to be heavily attended.
