I'll keep this short and to the point. Is there a reason to watch Matthew McConaughey with a shirt on? Actually yes. He's a solid actor when the material gives him something to build on. Frailty is one example. But this pleasant diversion doesn't aim to be more thn A Christmas Carol for While you Were Sleeping Crowd and ultimately isn't as entertaining as other recent romantic comedies like the equally fluffy The Proposal or the outrageous Saving Sarah Silverman Still nobody embarrasses themselves here. The thing that's really missing here is the sense of danger that threatens to turn on the viewer in the really good adaptations of Dickens tale.
McConaughey plays a love 'em and leave 'em lothario who's past indiscretions come back to haunt him- literally. While attending his brothers wedding he delivers a drunken tirade against the idea of monogamy after becoming reacquainted with the only woman who ever reallky stole his heart. Shortly thereafter he is visited by the ghost of the man who taught him to be a womanizer and is told that he will be visited by three ghosts who will give him a guided tour of where he's gone wrong in love and lust. The ending of course is pre-ordained even if getting there is more than half the fun. No extras on the DVD which should tell you something about the kind of film this is. Low to the ground, semi enjoyable time waster romance with a decent

Sorry - a six year old is the only one we could find to watch it and write a review. And believe me, in a couple of months this WILL BE VERY obscure
