1. GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST:
Matthew MacConaughey is a fashion photographer who goes through women like a long distance runner goes through bottled water … once, twice, and discard! He breaks up with more than one at a time via conference call. Done in the style of “A Christmas Carol,” he is visited by three ghosts, include that of his philandering uncle (Michael Douglas) and … eventually mends his ways. Jennifer Garner co-stars in this rather weak rom-com. Rated PG.
2. OBSERVE AND REPORT:
Another mean-spirited effort from Seth Rogan who is a mall cop this time – but not a funny one like Kevin James in “Mall Cop”- a mean rather ugly one whose humour has the bite of a rabid dog. On the trail of a mall flasher, the funny stuff never really gets off the ground. Rated 18A.
3. EASY VIRTUE:
This one is a British drawing room and dance-floor romp with a Noel Coward kind of look – understandable since he wrote the play on which this is based. Stuck between the Roaring 20s and the Swinging 30s, it’s a love story between an American woman and her British suitor. Colin Firth is the handsome man, Jessica Biel is the lady. Great costumes! Rated PG.

Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart don’t get the job done – it’s supposed to be a rom-com, but it’s pretty maudlin.
