Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Matthew McConaughey, the king of duff romantic comedies – see How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Fool's Gold for proof – stars in another dollop of Hollywood froth.

He plays celebrity snapper Connor Mead, a womaniser who doesn't believe in love and is prone to dumping girlfriends by conference call. The cad sets about wrecking his little brother's wedding with his sleazy antics until three ghosts – including a ripe Michael Douglas – point out, Christmas Carol-style, the error of his errant ways. This high-concept piffle benefits from a droll Robert Forster cameo as a Korean war vet, an endearing turn from Jennifer Garner and a few decent gags.
