Uncle Wayne informs Connor that, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/1193906-ghosts_of_girlfriends_past\/\">over the course of the evening<\/a>, he&#8217;ll be visited by three ghosts who will lead him through his romantic past, present, and future.<\/em>&#8220;<em>In o<\/em>ne scene, his brother speaks to Connor&#8217;s exes, who are all bridesmaids, and who are all hatin&#8217; on Connor for dumping them. He says Connor never had a chance to be a child, he had to raise himself and his brother from an early age due to no parental guidance. He failed to develop emotional maturity, through no fault of his own &#8211; it was all survive, survive.\u00a0 I love how the Universe sends profound messages thru things like silly movies, giving enormous insight into understanding the other side of a real life situation.
