Ghosts of Girlfriends Past features a wedding day and the day before, rather than the familiar Christmas and Christmas Eve from A Christmas Carol. Filming spanned Februto July 2008 in Rhode Island with stars Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Lacey Chabert, Emma Stone, and Michael Douglas. The script was written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, based on Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol. He stole every scene.Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is a 2009 American romantic comedy film directed by Mark Waters. I couldn't figure it out until I finally realized that he is the image of Jon Krasinski only Indian. What a find! He looked so familiar but I hadn't seen him in anything else. The very handsome and charismatic actor who played her true love was a stand-out. It's not her fault her character was such a pill. I'm afraid I failed to see why this girl was able to attract such nice and attractive boyfriends (except the first one, who wore lipstick and dressed like an elf for some mysterious reason). It is not until a trip into the future where she sees her soulmate proposing to another girl that she finally sees the light. Anyway, The breakups always occur around Christmas, and now a life-long relationship with her best friend who's in love with her is in danger. Or food competition, snowed in, or sad widow/widower for that matter. As opposed to fake boyfriend, bad city person being transformed by small-town life, save the beloved fill-in-the-blank from a corporation, or royalty in disguise. Yes, it's another take on A Christmas Carol, but Hallmark has not used this in a long time, to my memory. They are trying to tell her something: she has sabotaged all of her previous relationships as soon as they try to move to the next level of commitment. Time travel is a common Hallmark trope, but in this one, it's a little different with Lauren going back in time (in her dreams) with 3 of her former boyfriends. Hallmark seems to be making a real effort this year to break out the box of its own making. Despite the heroine's almost deliberate lack of insight into her own behavior being very annoying, I did enjoy this one.
