AI Summary

Celebrity photographer Connor Mead lives life in the fast lane, committed to lifelong bachelorhood and juggling multiple relationships simultaneously. On the eve of his younger brother's wedding, Connor receives visits from the spirits of his jilted lovers, who take him on an odyssey through his many failed relationships to discover what made him such a cad — and whether there is any hope of him finding true love.

My feelings, thoughts, and opinions

Such a good feel-good movie, I really love it. So funny, so witty, so Matthew McConaughey.

Can't believe I have never seen this movie before.

Connor Mead was played so well, his character was done justice. I found Jennifer Garner a little awkward as I do quite often.
