You know when you look back on films like Good Luck Chuck you got to ask yourself what were they thinking?
And that's exactly how I feel about this film.While there some scenes that make the film watchable Good Luck Chuck is more or less a Motion Picture Adult film.
It's feels like watching an porn film when you watch this film that really just don't make any sense but when you cast Dane Cook as the protagonist and Jessica Alba as the love interest. I did enjoy the comedy bits of Jessica and Dane had a few decent moments.
But this "Comedy" more or less tries too hard at being funny and it just can't work like that you can't force people to laugh at what's not funny and this movie has a good bit of none funny and gross comedy I can't stand at all
It's just nothing special or highly original about this film to make it one you must rush out to get and add to your collection Again it just feels like a porn comedy and that's really said
It only has a handful of moments that makes it watchable but other than that it just weak.
The plot is something we have seen many times before the acting I can't even say was good or bad it just plain at best
Just only watch it if you're curious other than it's not worth a lot
I give Good Luck Chuck an 5 out of 10

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.

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.

If you like Dane Cook then chances are you have seen his movies and while Good Luck Chuck is better and in some instances funnier, it still is just another Employee of the Month. I personally enjoy Dane Cook's humor and I thought Employee of the Month was....decent. I was hoping Good Luck Chuck would be a hilarious smash hit but throughout the advanced screening I kept thinking to myself "Okay well this is funny but it's so typical." Now I don't want to give anything away but let's just say if you've seen at least one romantic comedy in your life then you know the entire story of Good Luck Chuck already.
Don't get me wrong, I laughed pretty much all the way through the movie although there were occasional points where it died down a little. Sad to say there were only a few really memorable funny parts to the movie though. Most was just slapstick style humor and revolting sex jokes. The humor in Good Luck Chuck was by far raunchier than Employee of the Month but then again that was PG-13 and this is R.
I mentioned that the movie was typical and when I say typical I mean every romantic movie cliché possible was used. It was like they took a blueprint for a love story and then just added Dane Cook and Jessica Alba and then made them do funny things. Granted there are moments where they stray a little or add a funny twist to the formula but it definitely didn't take long to come up with the progression of love in the film.
If you want your next dose of laughter after Superbad then go see Good Luck Chuck but don't expect anything new or inventive in terms of storytelling. It is however something to note that there are tons of sex scenes, lots of boobs, extremely raunchy jokes, and Jessica Alba does not reveal any body parts although some side boob can be glanced for a brief moment in the movie. (Just an FYI for all those who were dying to know)

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.
