Plot OverviewThe story follows Connor Mead, a well-known fashion photographer and infamous playboy, who attends his sibling Paul's (Breckin Meyer) wedding event rehearsal at their grandmother's estate. Honestly negative about love and commitment, Connor's behavior at the wedding rehearsal supper is appalling, and his mindset worsens when he faces his childhood sweetie, Jenny Perotti (Garner), who is the housemaid of honor.

The first spirit, Allison Vandermeersh (Emma Stone), the Ghost of Girlfriends Past, takes Connor back in time to review his previous relationships and the moments where he began to form his dismissive attitude towards love. They witness his very first heartbreak with Jenny during their teenage years, causing his improvement into a callous womanizer.
Next, the Ghost of Girlfriends Present, represented as his assistant Melanie (Noureen DeWulf), shows Connor the impact his philandering ways have on his present conquests and witnesses the sorrow and disrespect felt by his current hook-ups. She also highlights the hurt he is causing his sibling and the damage he is doing to Jenny, who still harbors sensations for him.
