There was too much adult humor. And it wasn't even that great

What Parents Need to Know
About Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Parents need to know that this predictable romantic comedy about a shameless womanizer who ultimately sees the error of his ways has plenty of innuendo and discussion about sex, though there's more talk than action. Expect to see deep kissing, some groping, and a clothed man being straddled by a scantily clad woman while they make out. There's also some swearing ("bitch," "damn," etc.) and drinking, including a scene in which an uncle buys his eighth-grade nephew a drink in a bar.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the movie's messages about relationships and sex. Why is Connor's behavior so bad? Why do you think he turned out the way he did? And why does Jenny still have feelings for him, considering how he treated her?
- How is this movie similar to and different from other romantic comedies?

Not me, not you!!!
Yah not very apropriate, super awkward, i was sitting next to my mom!!! I liked it, but i thought it would be a very good, cute chick flick. WRONG! Very inapropriate, even i shouldn't have been able to see it.

UGH - Not for kids of any age - especially teens on up
Demoralizes women, and even if you make it to the end - the message at the start is one night stands are okay. Awful! I wouldn't want my son using this as a role model - or my girl to think they are as worthless as this. Plus the STDs - why would anyone want to get in a relationship with this kind of person! - He is cute, but don't touch me!

i loved it, funny and great~
this movie was really funny. i loved it. i'm 11 and i love the whole message at the end. to be with one woman the rest of your life, and to take the chance of being hurt to do it. it was really funny 2 with language that i've heard much worse at my middle school (going into 7th grade now) funny i loved it!!! :D

Yuck!
I would NOT have taken my daughter had I seen it first. Over-the-tops sexuality and innuendo along with a poorly written and predictable storyline made this movie an uncomfortable and disappointing experience.

Interesting and cute!
Wow! Nice and cute movie but you probably want to be a teen or adult so you can get most of the jokes and what they're talking about

As soon as the movie started, I totally cringed. I went and saw this movie with 3 friends, none of us liked it. It's an innopropriate movie for kids, the whole movie is based around a man who sleeps around. I found the movie pointless and really painfull to watch. The humour wasn't funny to me, must be an adult thing because the adults sitting behind me were laughing at all the jokes I didn't even find funny. Pointless, stupid, gross and not worth the money.

Watch with you kids.
lots of sex and talk about sex. Mead KOs his brothers future father-in-law. Mild language. Lots of drinking. But in the end the message is very positive. And the film is extremely funny!

Don't Go---Another Horrible Movie by McConoughey!
Jennifer Garner deserves better than this piece of shlock. Your reviewer was being kind in the review.

I apologized to my kids
We went with another family to see this movie. I am ashamed to say that I didn't leave with my kids within the first 10 minutes. I guess I kept thinking the main premise would be made, and then it would get better. Wow! How wrong can you be? I know that kids live in a real world, but the street language and references (constant) to sex was really just unneccesary. We tried to find some lessons, like "never date somebody like that", and "there really are girls out there who don't care about STD's". But in reality, I had to apologize to my kids. The movie was not even funny. Just a waste of time and money, and a little too much education for a 12 and 15 year old.

This is an ADULT movie...Matthew McConnaughey is a driven skirt chaser to the point where he has damaged any relationship with his remaining family members. He is absolutely self-absorbed and only interested in sex. Of course there is a sugar coated unrealistic ending---no one changes overnight, literally!
