Featured reviews
First off, Dane Cook sucks. I only went to see this movie because I had a free preview ticket. It was even worse than I was expecting (and I was expecting pretty bad, seeing as Dane Cook is in it). There is only one more laugh in this movie than I've ever gotten from Dane Cook (namely, one laugh, and it had nothing to do with Dane Cook's "performance").
Well, at least Dane Cook didn't steal any jokes in this movie, at least none that I noticed. Dan Fogler also delivered an extremely annoying character in the movie. A character that piggish should have been funny, but he somehow didn't get a single laugh from me, or the entire viewing audience.
(One unrelated note here, I was confused how we watched the entire movie and there was only one laugh, everyone was obviously bored, no less than five people walked out and still when it ended a few morons clapped?!?! Anyway back to the trashing this movie deserves...) This movie is being bashed by critics and it deserves it 110%. The plot is based on a ridiculous premise. I didn't notice the written by credits but it was so stupid and ill-contrived I'm assuming Dane Cook must have had a hand in it. On top of that, it's misogynistic (again talking about the Fogler character in particular) to an incredible degree but still can't get a single laugh out of it.
Do yourself a favor, see any movie other than this! Even if it's not a comedy, it will still be more funny. And even if it's a grade two student film made by a mentally challenged kid with A.D.D. it will have a more believable and heartfelt plot.
Looks like this movie has already bombed, which is great because it hopefully gets us one step closer to a Dane-free world. What an awful movie!

Keep your expectations low and you'll enjoy 'Good Luck Chuck.' Overall, the movie is generic and predictable. Cook and Alba do good jobs with a paper-thin script and add some great moments with the physical humor such as the flying dental tools and jump starting Dane Cook as seen in the trailer. However, this is also one of those movies where most of the best punchlines are in the trailer which is disappointing.
Expect lots of nudity from everyone including Cook but not Alba. 'Chuck' comes well stocked with lots of naked girls and breast jokes. However, be warned if you're trying to make this a date movie and know there are some very crude parts to this movie. 'Chuck' definitely earns his 'R' rating.
Cook doesn't evolve much from 'Employee of the Month' here but he is enjoyable. Alba is decent at the comedy. Together they have a alright chemistry but the movie is so typical it takes away from the overall experience.
One last note. Cook's sidekick, played by Dan Fogler, is extremely annoying and ruins the momentum of the movie on more than one occasion.

Charlie Logan (Dane Cook) has been hexed by a disgruntled girl since a childhood game of spin the bottle gone wrong. He is now a womanizing dentist. His best friend Stu (Dan Fogler) since childhood is now the plastic surgeon next door. Charlie gets a reputation as a good luck charm. Every woman he sleeps with finds their dream beau immediately after splitting up. He is enchanted by bumbling Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba). Cam is leery of Charlie's womanizing reputation, and Charlie doesn't want Cam to find her dream man.
There is something about Dane Cook that annoys me to no end. It's some kind of annoying smugness in his persona. At least, Dan Fogler is outdoing him on that front in this movie. Cook isn't that bad in this movie. And there is the adorable Jessica Alba. However it's still not a good comedy.

This is the story of Charlie, a dentist and all around guy's guy. He convinces himself that he will never find a woman to settle down with and that he is little more that a stepping stone for women to meet their soulmates. This of course becomes a running joke for a goodly part of the movie.At a wedding for one of his exs, Charlie meets Cam, a nervous, extremely clumsy woman, and he sets his eyes on her. She plays hard to get, and the audience is left hoping that they connect and end up together.
This is a pretty funny movie with A LOT of sex in it. The sex is related to the good luck charm feeling Charlie has, and some of the scenarios in which he finds himself are funny. This would have been a better movie with a different actor in the lead role. Dane Cook is a funny comedian, but not the best actor.
Anyone easily offended should avoid this movie, which is what, like 75% of the world that is under 30 years old???

- Crazy creditsAfter the end credits start, there is a scene with Stu house sitting for the couple and looking for "homemade porn." When he views it, it largely consists of Chuck pretending to perform oral sex on a stuffed penguin.
- Alternate versionsFor the R-rated theatrical release two scenes were removed from the sex collage but later reinstated in the unrated DVD version: (i) the holy lover who later meets her boyfriend and (ii) Megan Gillis who turns to be an old high school chum of Chuck who later had a sex change operation. Also the sex scenes for the redheaded and kitchen lovers were re-shot for the unrated DVD version which shows full frontal nudity. In the R-rated theatrical version they were wearing a blouse.
