The film's key problem? It's not funny. But almost as fatal, Chuck can't even exploit its simple central premise right.

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.
Theatrical Release:Sep 21, 2007 Wide
Box Office: $35,000,629
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
Let me say that I have seen this hump-obsessed raunch-com, but you haven't. And, hopefully, you'll be working to keep it that way.
09/21/07
First-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.
09/21/07
A desperately unfunny mix of romantic and gross-out comedy.
09/21/07
Chuck actually goes much further and becomes more sexually crude than Apatow's work, and its attempts to become redemptively cute are way too saccharine.
09/21/07
I could live with Good Luck Chuck's determination to humiliate a cutie pie such as Alba and its ongoing cruelty toward obese women.
09/21/07
Here is the dirty movie of the year, slimy and scummy, and among its casualties is poor Jessica Alba, who is a cutie and shouldn't have been let out to play with these boys.

Top CriticSome of the audience seemed to be having fun, but for me it was like a Farrelly brothers gross-out without the laughs.

Top CriticNo doubt, the outtakes on the DVD release will prove useful for recovering sex addicts and in vomitoria.
09/21/07
It's a good device either for science-fiction or romantic comedy. But since there's no intelligence to drive the jokes, the gimmick turns tiresome quick.
09/21/07
Top CriticIt's stupefying in its dullness and vulgarity.
09/21/07
It's a strictly date-night-rental affair, and if you still get Ryan Reynolds and Dane Cook confused, this will do little to help sort things out.
09/21/07
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
You too will find yourself saying, "Better luck next time Chuck."
09/21/07
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.
09/21/07
[...]they have about as much chemistry as John Hinckley and Jodie Foster
09/21/07
It is the audience who will feel cursed.
09/21/07
I'd like to be able to say they couldn't pay me to see this flick. Alas, it's apparent I can be bought, and pretty cheaply too.
09/21/07
Amazingly, it is even worse than it looks.
09/21/07
To best summarize the violent tonal changes that plague Good Luck Chuck, imagine for a moment if Bachelor Party had a subplot concerning the events of 9/11.

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.
