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.

Synopsis: 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... [More]

Reviews for Good Luck Chuck
Alba manages to imbue the proceedings with a modest degree of charm, but the moment she exits the frame the movie stalls, unable to overcome the sheer blandness of its ostensible star.

The makers of this shameful waste of celluloid have padded their work with fat jokes, homophobic jokes, gratuitous nudity and various bodily functions, while harboring a fundamental hatred for women.
09/20/07
Not funny or romantic; too raunchy for all ages.
11/01/07
It tries to be a sappy love story, an incredibly vile gross-out comedy and an envelope-pushing soft-core porno movie all at once. It ends up being an unappealing abomination.
09/20/07
Apparently someone out there thought it would be a good idea to capitalize on American's love for penguins AND gross-out comedies.
03/03/08
The final screenplay is as devoid of real emotion as it is of real characters.

Top CriticFirst-time director Mark Helfrich brings a ham-fisted insistence on the obvious and a tendency to overstate raunchy humor until the raunch becomes a bore.

Top Critic... a bit like being at an entertaining party ruined by a some obnoxious loud-mouths shouting obscenities.
07/05/08
What isn't forgivable, though, is being boring, and Good Luck Chuck has all the engaging magnetism of an unflushed toilet.

Top CriticCross the street to avoid this one.

Only a truly unhappy, crabbed mind could possibly imagine most of these jokes.
09/24/07
Yecch!
09/22/07
Cook and Alba generate about as much chemistry as a mongoose paired with a rattlesnake.
09/26/07
Good Luck Chuck is a soft-core male indulgence posing as a hip Hollywood good luck chuckle.
09/29/07
The movie goes out of its way to be offensive, even by today's standards. The interesting thing is that it does it in an otherwise charming romantic comedy that's actually funny.

Please Hollywood, do us a favor. No more Dane Cook! I think I'll make a ribbon for this cause and start wearing it.
09/21/07
Just when you think things can't possibly get worse, they do. And then some.
09/18/07
Dane Cook plays a dentist in Good Luck Chuck... Having had braces, three tooth extractions, three bone graphs, and three dental implants, I can say with relative ease that none of that was as painful as watching this pathetic waste of celluloid.
09/20/07
While only 96 minutes runtime, it felt far longer, prompting me to check the time repeatedly. Not a good thing for a romantic comedy.

January 28, 2008:
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.
