Bad movies can be bad in many different ways. Pretentiousness, art-house arrogance, snobbery, condescending attitude, etc... or they can just be plain silly. This one belongs to the latter category. A moronic, male-oriented, adult fairy tale of childish men and blonde bimbos, who live in a world where nobody is over 35 and their only problem is getting laid.
... View MoreGood Luck Chuck is so embarrassing for everyone involved. Oh my goodness this film is bad. I feel so sorry for Dane Cook and Jessica Alba and the all the supporting actors involved. This film is just so below amateur and full of middle school humor that it's embarrassing. It reminds me of a typical straight middle school boy's brain. Random naked women bouncing on top of Dane Cook, an absolutely terrible male best friend who is the most offensive character ever, and disgusting crude humor. The script is filled to the brim with poor humor that just falls flat and doesn't amuse or entertain in the least. It's also got very lazy dialogue that does nothing to make the audience want to stay and keep watching. I will say that I actually don't think Dane Cook is a terrible actor, I just think that he wasn't getting any other offers and this came across his desk and he took it because it was work. I think the same is true for Jessica Alba, I mean just think about it, why would any actor or actress that is doing well with their career choose this project to work on? They wouldn't. And I know they wouldn't because this is a sucky movie that is boring, disgusting, lazy, poorly acted, and very unfunny. I sincerely hope that both Cook and Alba's acting careers improve and that good offers are offered instead of this mess. 1/10.
... View MoreCharlie 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.
... View MoreThis was really funny stuff! While I had pretty high expectations of this movie going in (I knew it was based on the Benjamin Kollenbroich story), I was pretty happy with it. Dane Cook did a good job of capturing the obscure humor of the real-life character. There were parts that had me reaching for the remote, but I waited it out. Cook came across as generally likable. I'm not a very big Dane Cook fan, but a friend of mine suggested this movie and I thank him for it. Of course, Jessica Alba was gorgeous and funny, as well! She never ceases to amaze me. I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a fun movie that nobody would take too seriously. If you're looking for a serious thriller, this movie is not for you!
