Not bad, but Not Great
Added 11/21/2009
Movie was alright, but was not the best of McConaughey or Garners movie career although was entertaining and enjoyable.

beautiful script idea
Added 11/21/2009
This approach may be a more understandable one to modern kids than Alfie (Full Screen Edition).
The screen play takes the Christmas Dickens classic with the miser Scrooge
and turns the miser into a playboy. When young people need
positive examples that are easy to understand, this movie delivers.
Casual sex is a topic here and the life of the philandering hero
starts to go really down hill when his brother throws him out of
his wedding party after he lets slip about who the brother had slept with.
And ruined the wedding cake as well...
The uncle who had raised him comes back as a ghost and
leads him through getting in contact with his better but forgooten side
using three ghosts of girlfriends.
That there is an happy ending helps. Jennifer Garner
may be more convincing as an action spy hero,
but she pulls this role off as well.

Same old, same old

I think Matthew McConaghy (while he's one of my favorites) has outgrown these types of parts. This particular movie is a little off the wall. There wasn't much "meat" to the story at all. Just a waste of time.

This is an excellent movie that I will watch over and over again. Great cast and good story line.

Avoid At All Costs
Added 11/12/2009
This pathetic adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol should be avoided at all costs. It is unintelligent, immoral, irreverant, uninspiring (except for a couple of minutes towards the end) and altogether disappointing. Charles Dickens must have been turning over in his grave with every worthless frame of film.
