Finally, a romantic comedy that wasn’t wrote, directed and produced specifically for 13 year old girls. Dane Cook and Jessica (oh dear lord) Alba star in this unrealistic boob fest.
The plot revolves around a Charlie, a dentist who was cursed as a child to never find love. Each time he sleeps with a woman she becomes destined to find the man of her dreams and get married. This leads to lots of very interesting sexual encounters….
Everything in this movie is very tounge in cheek. Expect to see:
- Lots of boobs
- Lots of vulgarities
- Lots of childish humor
- Drug use
- Steamy sex scenes
- Jessica Alba trying to act
- Dane Cooks body
Yes, thats right, Dane spends most of his time on camera nude, or semi nude while the most we see of Alba is a brief penguin panty shot! So dissapointing…
A lot of the humor in Good Luck Chuck falls flat on its face, similar to Cook’s stand up performances as of late. The supporting actor playing Charlie’s best friend (Dan Fogler) is quiet possibly the most obnoxious person I have ever seen in a movie. He delivers a great performance and really suits the characters role, I just find him incredibly irritating the entire movie.
I’d like to see more of this style of movie in this genre, preferably with better actors and dialog. Good Luck Chuck did an ok job and hopefully paved the way for some more adult themed romantic comedies. I’ll give it a 6/10.
