Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

I'm no Siskel or Ebert, or even Richard Roeper but I did get a chance to go the movies this weekend and see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner. Now truthfully, I knew this movie was standard romantic comedy fare and could basically predict the outcome from the previews but still I enjoyed myself for the 100 carefree minutes the film provides. McConaughey is good looking and charming as always but really this movie just re-instilled (is that a word?) my huge girl crush on Jennifer Garner. I seriously heart her, I feel like if I met her we would be total BFFs. Now maybe I'm a psycho...but even with that being said, she's aces in my book.
So anyway, movie also has some great funny moments from Lacey Chabert as the freaked out bride. I've dealt with some crazy Bridezillas in my time so seeing her portrayal was a definite laugh. Michael Douglass is also funny as the womanizing uncle. (Incidentally I got the chance to see him on the Ellen show last week. It was no biggie since we were in the Riff Raff room and just saw him the TV screens talking about his knee replacement but still pretty cool AND we get to go back in September to actually sit in the audience!)
I definitely say if you're in a rom-com kinda mood this movie is the way to go. I would have preferred to see Wolverine so I could see a naked Hugh Jackman and of course the always dishy Ryan Reynolds but my friend wanted to see this and she had free passes and again, given my girl crush I'm always down to catch a Jen Garner flick. Good times though, I teared up a little at the end...but I also tend to cry at the end of Ghost Whisperer when people cross over so I wouldn't necessarily put too much stock into that.
