Matthew McConaughey milks his well-established romantic-comedy persona yet again, within an amusing premise.

He plays a commitment-phobic photographer who's reunited with a former flame (a charming Jennifer Garner) at his brother's (Breckin Meyer) wedding – but he also encounters ghosts representing the past, present and future of his very active love life.

Michael Douglas also is enjoyable as the spectre of the McConaughey character's late uncle, who was quite the lady-killer himself in his time. Other supporting performers include Anne Archer, Robert Forster and Lacey Chabert. *** (PG-13: AS, P)
