January 30, 2012A dreadful film that will have Charles Dickins spinning in his grave no doubt. How can you even have Ghosts of people who aren't even dead? There is nothing good about this film, it's insulting to even call it a chick flick unless you are a stupid women with very little self resp... read more

October 31, 2011Not the worst romantic comedy I have ever seen and it did make me laugh out loud at certain points, but in the end we are dealing with a genre that we as an audience know better than our own reflections. We know the Dickens tale just as well, so combining the two gave very few su... read more

October 6, 2011A little bit on the boring and slow side, but it kept me entertained enough to watch the whole movie.

June 23, 2011Nice little romantic comedy. Expected better but it wasn't all that bad. Some scenes were funny and it's a little more than your average chick flick. It did at times, pull at the heartstrings and make you smile.

March 20, 2011I didnt really enjoy this movie, but I will say it had a few funny parts in the flashback scenes.

February 18, 2011It's a mix of Scrooge but with girlfriends! Nice idea, ok cast it has a few laughs along the way. Not really anything memorable or makes it stand out from all the other Rom-Coms.

August 4, 2010It's sad that the screenwriters of The Hangover wrote this. I have no sympathy for Matthew, but much for Jennifer, as she must have been mislead.

Please, ladies, don't go see this movie. (Chances are most men would rather put out their eyes than go see a film with such a title.) Full Review

A junky-looking romantic comedy that's neither remotely romantic nor passably comic. Full Review

As a romcom, it's average, but as a Matthew McConaughey romcom, it's above average. If you're a low-expectations moviegoer, this one might surprise you. Full Review

Jennifer Garner is sweet and radiant as McConaughey's childhood friend and former lover; Lacey Chabert steals scenes as the woman marrying McConaughey's brother; and Robert Forster and Anne Archer are... Full Review
