Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Just perfect...
Admirable film.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I first saw Good Luck Chuck in 2008 and found it to be a stupid, yet somewhat funny romantic movie , most comedies rely on sex scenes, dirty jokes and charm to make it work.Dane Cook's performance as Charlie Logan an unlucky in love dentist was comical here he was in one relationship after another with the woman moving on to finding her true love after having intercourse with him. Jessica Alba as Cook's love interest Cam is charming and adorable, her character is a clumsy yet beautiful woman who wants a committed boyfriend and not a one night stand type of love. Dan Fogler also steals the screen as Chuck's sex starved boob doctor friend Stu Klaminski who encourages his buddy to except his gift to service women.At a birthday party in 1985 10 year old Charlie Logan (Price) refused to make out with with a Gothic girl named Annisha (Pieterse) during a game of seven minutes in heaven. As punishment she places a curse on him stating that he'll never be happy and that all his girlfriends will marry the next guy they meet.Years later Chuck (Cook) who is now 32 runs a successful dental practice in the same building as his buddy Stu's (Fogler) breast surgery business. After his latest girlfriend Carol dumps him he begins to notice that women have gone on to marry another man after being with him, at the wedding of one of his ex girlfriends he meets Cam Wexler (Alba) a clumsy yet attractive aquarium employee who loves penguins. From then on it's a hilarious quest as Charlie does anything he can to get the woman of his dreams and break the curse that made him a hit with girls.For fans of raunchy & romantic fun I recommend Good Luck Chuck it's hysterical on a scale of 7 to 10
If you want a border line porn I guess this below average crude and offensive movie is up your alley. Women are just not respected at all anymore in film and this movie is a true example of that. This movie was so offensive and especially insulting to women. I was completely uncomfortable watching it, squirming actually. It was gross to watch, constant topless scenes, thrusting, groaning, sex non stop. You couldn't blink without seeing a tit. There is even a scene where a guy measures a girls tits to see if they are "even" ...seriously, grow up....did a 17 year old male virgin direct this movie? come on.....this movie does none other than to serve the purpose of "jerk off" material to a horny teenage boy. My opinion of Jessica alba went down a few notches. She didn't act like a hooch herself but I thought she had a little more class than to be in a putrid film like this. I haven't seen so much sex and unnecessary exploitative nudity since hostel. waste of time, unless you are horny and wanna see tits. If you have grown up and are an adult, I wouldn't waste your time with this tit flick.
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS This is one of the "could have been great rom-com" movies.The premise is really funny,of a guy who is "cursed" at childhood by a little girl he rejects,to never be able to find true love,because all the women he will meet in his life,will find true love with the next guy they date after him.This not only creates serious problems to his love life,but also,once women get to believe that about him,they go crazy looking to take advantage,so they can find the love of their own lives after dating him. The stars are likable,Dane Cook is convincing enough as a playboy women find attractive,Alba is not really good at comedy,but here the part demands of her not so much to be funny,but to be more of a girl who inspires real passion,which is down her path. So ,all the ingredients were there,if only the script knew how to develop this.Unfortunately,the script drowns into needless extreme profanity and then goes into an unfortunate excursion into soft porn.They could have easily shown the same story without all the needless nudity.The nudity,sex scenes and extreme profanity just destroyed this movie. The situation the lead character finds himself is funny enough,showing women chasing him was enough,without having to show the sex. All the sex could have just easily been hinted at.Just showing the character going out with women,or just being exhausted the next day,is enough for the audience to get it without having to show the action in his bedroom.I guess they just didn't believe in their own story and thought they needed these scenes.Bad mistake.The other bad mistake is how they wrote the character of his friend,whose profanity is overdone to a ridiculous degree. To a lesser degree i didn't like the accident prone character of Alba,i didn't get it why that was necessary,and the point when Cook's character goes berserk was really out of place.So,all in all,too may things went wrong in this movie.Its really a shame because one gets a feeling that with a few but serious script changes this had the makings of a classic romantic comedy.
Good luck Chuck is a stupid film experience that I am surprised didn't get a lower rating. Good luck Chuck isn't a comedy. It's a disaster from start to finish. I had many problems with this piece of junk. Is it just me or do you hate Dane Cook? It's not that he is not funny it's just that he is so irritating and that movie My best friend's girl looked terrible. I have only liked a few of Dane Cook's films. I liked Dan in real life and Waiting, and that is about it. The only exciting thing about this film is that you get to see Jessica Alba in her underwear. That is probably the only reason why it got 5.6.Dane Cook plays Chalrie, who while playing seven minutes of heaven was about to be molested. By a Gothic chick. So she put a curse on him. That curse was that after every person that he had sex with, when they left, they would get married. That has happened every time. Now Charlie has grown up and is a dentist. One day at a wedding he meets Cam(Jessica alba) who is the unluckiest son of a bitch on the planet. She chips a tooth, bumps into poles, you name it. So Charlie thinks that if he dates her... I am going to stop right there. I hated this film. There are constant sex scenes which will make guys horny. The film is just incredibly crude and gross at times and this is like a lot of comedies nowadays. Only moronic guys will enjoy this film. The only reason why I gave this film a 2 is because of Jessica Alba. Who will get guys attention and try to save this film. Jessica alba, she's the hottest woman on the planet besides Megan Fox but every film choice that she makes is horrible or flops with other people or critics. I feel sorry for Jessica Alba because it is not her fault that this film is such a mess. Everything about it besides her is a mess. Big, big, big, big, big thumbs down. It is only worth seeing for Jessica Alba and the scene where she is in her underwear. There is another problem with Good luck Chuck that I left off the list. Throughout the film you see Dane Cook have sex with tons of women and you see their tits. Well, you don't get any of that from Jessica Alba. Perhaps if you did, this film would be a 3, but it is still a 2. Because of the underwear. Skip Good Luck Chuck. The film is bad luck for Jessica Alba.Good luck Chuck:1/2 out of ****
