a mix of modern day charles dickens classic a christmas carol along with man whoring and ghost of girlfriend past be a no brainer with a pretty powerful cast that really do nothing with a script that rehash this very old theme represent regret and redemption . the cast draw me in to see this ( that and the fact that i be stick on a flight with nothing else to do but watch an inflight film . ) matthew mcconaughey ( tropic thunder ) be the lead a connor mead and a guy who sexual exploit might make a congressman blush . he never marry but always have a childhood crush on jenny perotti ( jennifer garner and juno ) . the two never get together because of connor youthful shyness and jenny need to fit in . but now that connor be return home for his brother wedding and thing be get a bit weird . connor begin see his late and great uncle wayne ( michael douglas and king of california ) in strange vision . his deceased uncle tell him and in true dickensonian fashion and that he will be greet by three ghost this night . and theyre go to show him the error of his relationship phobic way . if you have read or watch any of the christmas carol rendition and you will know exactly how this turn out . like i say and no brainer . the sad thing about this film be that they try to make it light and fun and but fail miserably in almost all it attempt ( some of you may be familiar with the fall wedding cake scene that have be use a a trailer . and even that isn not really funny ) . the only thing that be consistently humorous be the bride and emma stone and a a neurotic who try to keep herself together amidst the chaos of her wedding . this one a definite pas and even for those wish to pass a bit of wasted time .
