Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

Chick-Flick alert! You would think that with Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, and Michael Douglas this flick, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (a take off on "A Christmas Carol"), would be a slam dunk. Unfortunately Garner and McConaughey never seem to connect. Douglas is, as always, enjoyable and believable as the lecherous, politically incorrect uncle who taught McConaughey all his bad habits. Michael seems to be as proliferate as his dad, Kirk Douglas. Kirk worked well into his 80's, last seen in Illusion (2004) and It Runs in the Family (2003). I hope that it does "run in the family" and that we will see Michael, now 65, again. Although a slightly entertaining film I say "Rent It".
Check it out...See Michael Douglas in American President, Chorus Line, Traffic and as Jack Colton in Jewel of the Nile and Romancing the Stone all on DVD. Or check out his dad, Kirk, in Gunfight at the O. K. Corral, The Man From Snowy River, Paths of Glory, Spartus, and The Vikings also on DVD.
