Celebrity photographer Connor Mead loves freedom, fun and women... in that order. A committed bachelor who thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple women on a conference call, Connor's mockery of romance proves a real buzz-kill for his kid brother, Paul, and a houseful of well wishers on the eve of Paul's wedding. Just when it looks like Connor may single-handedly ruin the wedding, he is visited by the ghosts of his former jilted girlfriends, who take him on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through his failed relationships--past, present and future. Together they attempt to find out what turned Connor into such an insensitive jerk and whether there is still hope for him to find true love...or if he really is the lost cause everyone thinks he is.

“You there, is this Christmas?” “No, it’s Saturday, you moron.”
Matthew McConaughey can be seen in a string of run-of-the-mill formula romance comedies. On the surface, this looks like another lightweight comedy under his belt.
Here, Matthew McConaughey, who plays a bachelor, Connor Mead, is dedicated to his craft, as his brother(Breckin Meyer) is about to commit the unthinkable “marriage”. When he gets there, he is confronted by his ghost of his long-dead Uncle Wayne (Michael Douglas, who pretty much plays himself). In the tradition of “A Christmas Carol”, he will meet three ghosts of girlfriends or potential girlfriends. They will try to show where he went wrong in life. Will he fall for this? Jennifer Garner plays his on-again-off-again lifelong love. Will she fall for the supposedly reformed Connor?
It is the one-liners and the tasty wedding treats that will keep you involved.

For media people, I only saw the Blu-ray, so I cannot compare. There were a few extras on the disk.
Warning: Noureen DeWulf, a friend of Paris Hilton, drops her Indian accent in the extras.
