Movie Review 18

Connor Mead, a successful fashion photographer, 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 and tells Connor that three ghosts will visit him that night: the ghosts of girlfriends past, present, and future. Can he learn anything from his life and fix what he's broken?

In typical Matthew fashion, this movie covers all the aspects of a romantic comedy. Nice story, a good watch.

Mike works at his parents' motel, he's sweet, but hapless, with no ambition. Sue sells art for a Baltimore firm, she's enigmatic - rarely smiling but occasionally impulsive, feeling the clock tick after a breakup with a boyfriend who could have provided security. Mike takes one look at her and determines to connect. Is there any way he stands a chance with her? What can he offer?

Steve Zahn is a good comedic actor and also has the ability to show geniune feelings through out his performance. I was really pulling for his character in this sweet and vulnerable story of two people trying to find something special. Worth every penny.


When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another.

A perfect match of comedy and love. Sandra Bullock has such talent when using her body to create laughter. Another good romantic comedy that didn't disappoint.

time goes by so quickly that sometimes we lose sight of what is really important.
