Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is not a very good movie, but if you must see it, please strive to seat yourselves in front of The Couple That's Never Seen a Movie Before, as we did. We are very familiar with The Lady Who's Never Seen a Movie Before, but the couple was new to us. Oh, the delight they took in every hackneyed line and predictable plot turn. I really wish I could see the world through the eyes of this couple--everything would be so new and entertaining. They even loved the commercials before the previews. During the movie, the male half of the duo enjoyed noting out loud whatever happened, sometimes two or three times:
"He grabbed her tit!"
"The cake fell down!"
"She farted and fell off the mountainside!"
(Okay, not really, but that guy totally would have loved this).
Anyway, yeah, this movie is your standard uncharming rom com. Boy grows up with girl, boy gets bad relationship advice from Michael Douglas, boy becomes dick, girl becomes doctor, dick digs up the corpse of Charles Dickens and skull-fucks it, doctor falls in love with dick, and everyone lives happily ever after. Speaking of skull-fucking, Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner are all cheekbones and chins, so when they kiss they look like two skulls clonking against each other like something out of the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. It's gross.
