A womanizer, Connor, finds himself being haunted by the ghosts of his former girlfriends at his younger brother's wedding. Through the spiritual guidance from The Ghost of Girlfriend's Past, Present and Future, these spirits hope to help Connor come into realization about his ways with the women. [Cinema Online]
Reception of the film doesn't look too good with critics saying the movie pretty much stunk and the general audience giving a very average rating on IMDb.
