Well here's my latest chick flick.
Loved it, predictable to the last, but after a weekend fest of movies - The Uninvited, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and State of Play - I needed something light to lift my spirits.
It starts Matthew Mahoganey (sorry McConaughey) as a photographer who will not get close to women and will definitely not commit. Matthew is so low that he even breaks up with three women at once via conference call - when he finishes, he tells them that he is going to log off, but they should feel free to continue the conversation.
Jennifer Garner is his Achilles heel. The movie is an interesting take on the Christmas Carol. He gets visits from the ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Present and Future. These lead to some hilarious flashbacks of what he was like.
There is a special guest appearance/s from his uncle Michael Douglas who has now totally transformed into Kirk Douglas.
I don't think it's giving away too much to say that at the end of the movie, the guy gets the girl and they live happily ever after (at least in moviedom).
Light, frothy and frivolous - perfect Bank Holiday Monday entertainment.
