Entertainment Weekly
The movie is cheesy, tacky, and gimmicky. But as directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), it's also prankish and inventive enough to be kind of fun. - 63
ReelViews
Lacks the kind of forceful, attention-grabbing chemistry that elevates a movie in this genre from a passable diversion to a lasting source of entertainment. - 63
Charlotte Observer
Ghosts finishes well, and the familiar McConaughey heel-grows-a-heart story arc is engaging. - 50
Variety
Mostly clunky and vaguely unsavory. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
It's not particularly funny to hear women described and valued exclusively in terms of their function as disposable sexual partners. A lot of Connor's dialogue is just plain sadistic and qualifies him as that part of an ass it shares with a doughnut. - 50
The A.V. Club
At least Douglas has a good time bringing the smarminess that McConaughey so studiously avoids. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
The movie clumps through one witless if not wince-evoking sequence after another without the relief of laughter. - 30
Austin Chronicle
Ghosts indeed: This romantic comedy by name alone attempts to make funny – not to mention culturally relevant – the kind of swinging-dick misogyny that went out of fashion years ago.
