Reviews Counted:33

Fresh:3

Rotten:30

Average Rating:0.9/10

Consensus: A shortage of laughs and an undercurrent of mean-spiritedness undermine Good Luck Chuck, squandering a decent premise on gross-out humor and shopworn slapstick.

Rated: R

Runtime: 1 hr 41 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Sep 21, 2007 Wide

Box Office: $35,000,629

Standup comedian Dane Cook (EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH) stars in this romantic comedy as Charlie Logan, a successful dentist cursed with the affliction of having the women he dates fall in love with the next guy they meet. After a 1985 flashback reveals how, as a child, Charlie came to be hexed, the film finds the grown bachelor taking advantage of his predicament. Because he's never really loved any of the women he's dated, it doesn't hurt much when they leave. But when rumors start circulating that sleeping with Charlie is a lucky love charm, Charlie's popularity reaches new heights that even he, an experienced ladies' man, cannot keep up with. And this luck couldn't come at a worse time, as Charlie's just met his dream girl, penguin zookeeper Cam (Jessica Alba). Perhaps in Charlie's favor is the fact that Cam, despite her beauty and brains, happens to have a hex of her own--extreme clumsiness. Everywhere she goes, minor disaster quickly follows. Will Charlie be the next casualty of her accident-prone charm? While GOOD LUCK CHUCK revolves mainly around a sweet and simple romance, it contains enough one-liners to amuse fans of Cook's standup routine. Though conversations between Charlie and his plastic-surgeon best bud Stu (Dan Fogler) are almost all about sex, the dynamic between Cam and her brother (played by 30 ROCK's Lonny Ross) is slightly more offbeat. The film's sex-driven humor leads to a surprisingly graphic sex-scene montage between Cook and a string of women eager to sleep with him if it means they'll find true love immediately afterwards.

Because the jokes fall flat, the dialogue is dumb and the Swiss cheese script reads like an afterthought, the only logical conclusion is that all of the above is just a transparent excuse for a constant parade of topless females.

It's all pretty lewd and crude, with excess and exposure and grotesque fat gags passing for humor.

Dane Cook sucks as an actor. Not sure why he's still getting gigs but whatever. Luckily, the unrated edition of GOOD LUCK CHUCK, has more than just Cook, with plenty nudity, Jessica Alba (that doesn't get nude) in skimpy clothing and some decent laughs (m

Good Luck Chuck is the cinematic equivalent to a sexually-transmitted disease. It starts out unnoticeable, then starts to itch a little bit, before finally burning and blistering.

Raunchy in the extreme, Good Luck Chuck like its sexually jaded cavity expert, forlorn dentist Charlie, wants it both ways, juxtaposing Alba's lovestruck innocent with Cook's overcooked, reluctantly lusty flesh magnet.
