Good Luck Chuck Review Summary
Chuck didn't just have good luck, as viewers are split on how they feel about this R-rated romantic comedy. Good Luck Chuck stars Dane Cook (Dan In Real Life, Mr. Brooks) as commitment-aphobic Chuck whose affliction is that every time he sleeps with a woman, she next meets the man of her dreams. Some felt this was just "a raunchy comedy that was all too predictable," that borrowed "shamefully from other romantic comedies." Other reviewers found Good Luck Chuck "funny, intriguing, and full of laughs." Women as well as men enjoyed this movie, as they related to Cook's costar Jessica Alba. The one thing reviewers do agree on is the raunchiness factor, stating that it's like "watching Skinemax on my DVD player."

Our family has been a Dane Cook fan for years, so to see him in a movie is so exciting. Especially to see him in a starring role opposite Jessica Alba!
I was surprised at how much I liked this movie! I laughed through the entire thing! But then again, crude humor doesn't offend me. I'm not...

Dane wasn't funny at all and Jessica was pretty much only a pretty face. She even bashed the movie in an interview with Elle magazine calling it "porn."
Who bashes their own movie?...You know the movie is really bad when the starring actress, employed by an extremely competitive... review »
The romantic comedy genre has a successful formula that most filmmakers prefer to stick to: Boy meets Girl, Boy loses Girl, Boy gets Girl again. One can't argue with sticking to a proven formula, but Good Luck Chuck borrows so shamefully from other romantic comedies that it's unoriginal tendencies work against everything it has going for it.
It begins well with a flashback to 1985, as 10-year old Charlie Logan spins the bottle during a party in a suburban basement rec room. Charlie becomes alarmed when the bottle chooses the class Goth chick. When Charlie is frightened by her amorous advances,...

Alright, let me preface by saying I love Dane Cook, so I may have liked this movie a little bit more than normal people. There were some really funny parts, but I think the whole premise was a little lame. Movie obviously had to be written by a man who was scorned or something! Jessica Alba was cute, but nobody is that dumb r klutzy. Chuck had a lot of sex, so hopefully he got tested for stds before he and Alba got together. I thought the movie was pretty good- it wasn't as god awful as the critics claimed. I wouldn't buy it, but I would watch it again if I was flipping around.
I recently saw the movie Good Luck Chuck. The trailor for this was very misleading. It was pertrade as a romantic comdey, however what I did not realize is that it would have alot of nudity. More so than your average "R" movie. Was it funny? YES, but they took the nudity a little to far, so if you plan on letting your teenagers watch this thinking it's just another comedy be prepared for the sex lesson they will also recieve.
This movie is hysterical. We all know a guy just like Good Luck Chuck! He's the guy who never wanted a commitment until he figured out that commitment is the only thing that's missing in his life. Then, the movie gets really funny! Ever wonder why you never can get what you want when you need it? Chuck spends plenty of time wondering himself...
