Featured reviews
A very uneven comedy. If 3 out of every 10 jokes working is enough for you, then go ahead.
If you're hoping to see Dane Cook (nearly) undressed, you won't be disappointed. He strips more in this movie than Demi Moore in "Striptease".
If you're hoping to see Jessica Alba undressed -- too bad! Scanty attire is the best you'll get.
If you're hoping to see Dane be as funny as he is in his stand-up -- you'll be disappointed.
If you're hoping to see Jessica be funny -- what are you, nuts? She's got no comedy chops! And that old tired "pretty girl falls down a lot" shtick wasn't funny when it became a movie cliché about 5 years ago.
The only funny moments seem to be when Dane is improvising. When he's doing the written parts of the script, it clunks hard. (Him dressed in a penguin costume? Yikes.) The two leads try SO hard to show us they have chemistry (a lot of shoulder wiggling and cutesy facial expressions mostly) that it backfires.
There were a lot of gross-out moments that just weren't funny -- the fat sidekick scrubbing his backflap with a scrub-brush for sexual pleasure, a penguin eating his crap, two seduction scenes with obese women (straight out of "Norbit" -- also unfunny).
The sidekick is so foul and obnoxious he throws the movie completely off-balance. You feel like the movie needs a sorbet after one of his scenes to get the bad taste out of your mouth.
The only likable person was the guy playing Jessica's brother (Lonny Ross of "30 Rock"). I actually think he might have made a better romantic lead, than Dane -- who was somehow off-putting.
Maybe Dane will have more input into his next comedy movie. Maybe that will help.

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!

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.

- TriviaDane Cook can be seen wearing a Super Club Baseball cap while playing Frisbee in the park. "Super Club" was the fictional wholesale store that Dane Cook worked for in one his previous movies, Employee of the Month (2006).
- GoofsCam works with African Penguins, warm weather birds that live on the coast of South Africa and Namibia. They would not live in a habitat with fake ice.
- Quotes
Cam Wexler: Why do you want to take me out to dinner?
Charlie: You look hungry.
- 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.
