okay for older kids but not under 15
It was a cute enough movie however there was to much sexual content and females with next to no clothes on

Way too much sexual content...casual, "no big deal" attitude about unmarried, uncommitted sex

Adults only
This movie is for adults only...only adults can see the humor and understand the stupidity of the actions portrayed by Matthew Mc's character. The female characters don't act much better. Terrible role models!

Disgusting
I find it hard to believe that CSM would allow 9 to 13 year olds review this movie when you (CSM) have it "iffy" for 14 year olds. How can I trust your ratings. I didn't even make it 15 minutes before I turned it off because it was (1) degrading women and (2) degrading women etc... No wonder we have young girls with eating disorders and becoming sexually permiscious at such early ages. In reading the reviews from young, too young to be watching this kind of movie, it's really hard for me to find you a reliable resource for guidance as to what I allow my child to watch. I was hoping to see a nice "chic flick" while all alone at home. I couldn't stomach it. It's a crude movie and shame on you CSM for you to rate it "iffy 14".

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!

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.

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!

Just fine Movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is good My mom loves that movie and My sister thinks it's okay like me. I think it's Just fine a little funny and kindoff entertaining. It's RATED: PG-13 Give it 3 out of 5 stars and I RATE It AGE: 14+. I think it's kindoff cool.

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!

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.

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.
