Plot Summary: It all started when Charlie Logan was ten years old.
Breaking the cardinal rules of spin-the-bottle, Charlie refused to lip-lock with
a demented Goth girl – and she put a hex on him. Now, twenty-five years later,
Charlie (Dane Cook) is a successful dentist... and still cursed. While his
plastic surgeon best friend, Stu (Dan Fogler), pursues as many of his patients
as possible, Charlie can't seem to find the right girl. Even worse, he discovers
at an ex-girlfriend's wedding that every woman he's ever slept with has found
true love – with the next guy after him. Before he knows it, Charlie's
reputation as a "good luck charm" has women – from sexy strangers to his
overweight receptionist – lining up for a quickie. But a life filled with all
sex and no love has Charlie lonelier than ever – that is, until he meets Cam
(Jessica Alba). An accident-prone penguin specialist, Cam is as hard-to-get as
she is beautiful. But when a genuine romance develops, Charlie realizes he's got
to find a way to break his good-luck curse... before the girl of his dreams
winds up with the next guy she meets.
EN 5 Second Review:
We don't care what the reviewers say, we liek to laugh,
and we really like to look at Jessica Alba, so this one automatically
gets thumbs up.
A
revolting little romantic comedy Josh Larsen: Sun Publications
"Good Luck Chuck" is ugly on the inside and out. And mind
you, the movie co-stars Jessica Alba...more
The
movie is coarse and features a romance, but the laughs are
sporadic at best James Berardinelli: ReelViews
A film like Good Luck Chuck makes one appreciate what
Judd Apatow has accomplished with his films The
40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. All three
pictures belong to the "raunchy romantic comedy" genre, but
Apatow has achieved something impressive: deliver hilarious,
profane comedy and develop tender relationships between
likable characters. Good Luck Chuck could use a
little of the "Apatow touch."...more
