Quote:
Good Luck Chuck is a 2007 romantic comedy film starring Dane Cook and Jessica Alba. The premise of the film is the fact that women will find their "one true love" after having sex with a dentist named Chuck (Cook), who meets a girl named Cam (Alba) and tries to become her true love.

The film opened in theaters on September 21, 2007 and was heavily panned by critics.

Is there a thread on how bad that poster is? I mean... wow. It's so fake-looking, and creepy.

I'm really disappointed they took such a gold concept and seemingly dumped on it. Some ideas should be protected by people who want to make crappy Dane Cook, etc. movies. Bler.

I'm pretty sure the poster is intended to be a parody of a similiar image of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Oh I knew that, it's still brutal though. It looks like Dane's floating on top of her. And their expressions, ack.

C+, not as bad as expected. A lot of female nudity, including a very brief side view of Alba's breasts. Not sure if it's a body double though since you can see nipple. Besides the nudity, there aren't many other reasons to catch this film.

It wasn't that bad. I chuckled a few times and found the two stars likable and appealing. But it was incredibly disjointed, unable to decide if it was a sweet romantic comedy or a gross-out raunchfest. It also features the worst performance of the year so far in the form of Dan Folger. But, as I said, it's basically harmless and worth a rental.

B-/C+

This could have been a pretty decent movie. Unfortunately for the person viewing the movie, it's not. There are some moments that are nice, like most of the middle when Dean Cook is dating Jessica Alba's character. Everything that happens outside of that is usually completely idiotic and borderline offensive. The scene with the obese white woman was particularly disgusting to watch. Dean Cook was decent, though unspectacular. I don't know why though but I find him really hot. So at least that was nice eye candy. Jessica Alba on the other hand was just awful and must have knew how stupid the movie would turn out to be. Even though it wasn't anything great (or even really that good), it was still entertaining and I was never bored. So I'll be a bit lenient with my grade.

5/10 ( C )

It had its moments, but overall, kinda weak. The clip during the credits is probably better than the entire film, I think. Not a bad movie overall, though.

I thought it was funny, better than some other crappy comedies this year. It was passable and definitely more of a college crowd film.

It definitely had a chance to be something very interesting though. The scene with his secretary was actually pretty good with a good part of hear and for a second I thought perhaps the film would rise above it, but it just went back to jokes and many cliches.

But I did laugh a lot, and was grossed out by a few things. Id give it a C+/B-

Definitely for the 18-23 demographic

Good Luck Chuck

Well, it's a generic US shock-humour, rom-com. Everything ends exactly how it was supposed to (with airport chase ending and romantic find-the-girl kiss). It's humorous at times and the story is stupid as expected, but it never goes beyond into the area of clever humour. Alba is hot as fuck.

C+
