Storyline Connor Mead, a successful fashion photographer and a Lothario keen on casual sex, goes to his younger brother's wedding to convince him not to marry. He arrives at his dead uncle's estate during the rehearsal the night before the wedding; he starts in, taking his brother aside, trashing marriage. Later in the men's room, his uncle, who taught Connor all he knows about women, appears to him, confesses to have been wrong, and tells Connor that three ghosts will visit him that night: the ghosts of girlfriends past, present, and future. Connor has already set the breakup in motion. Can he learn anything from his life and fix what he's broken?

Revealing mistakes:
When young Connor and Jenny are shown together in 1982, he says his parents died a year later. However, later in the movie his brother says Connor was 7 when his parents died which would have made he and Jenny 6 when they were on the swing and she gave him the camera. The actors are clearly much older than 6. Maybe 11 or 12.

User Review
I really enjoyed it!
Rating: 7/10
I payed my money and saw this movie expecting a laugh and to leave with
a smile on my face. I wasn't expecting Oscar acting, a great storyline
or something that would leave a lasting impression on me.
The performances were good, I especially enjoyed Michael Douglas's glam
OTT character. The main actors also impressed and I was drawn into
their romance as the film went on. So much so that I shed a little tear
at the end.
When I left the cinema I was smiling and during the movie I laughed out
loud along
with many other people. I got what I paid for and had a good night.
