A serial dater afflicted with a lifelong curse of loneliness attempts to win the love of a clumsy but beautiful penguin expert in the one romantic comedy that proves true love never comes easy. As a t... read more read more...en-year-old boy, Charlie (Dane Cook), breaks the cardinal rule of spin-the-bottle by refusing to kiss a demented goth girl. Crushed by the disheartening snub and determined to ensure that Charlie never finds true love, the vengeful brooder places a hex on the cowardly rule breaker that follows him well into his adult life. Flash-forward 20 years, and Charlie is a successful dentist who just can't seem to maintain a stable relationship. Sure he's had his fair share of one-night stands, but these days Charlie is just looking to find a nice girl he can settle down with. One day, while attending an ex-girlfriend's wedding, Charlie realizes that every girl he has ever dated has proceeded to find true love with the very next man they've met. When word gets out that Charlie is something of a lucky charm for women looking to tie the knot, every women within a 100-mile radius comes calling for a one-night stand; and while taking a bevy of beauties to bed is fun for the time being, it doesn't take long for Charlie to realize just how empty sex can be without true love. Upon meeting hard-to-get aquatic bird specialist Cam (Jessica Alba), Charlie begins to suspect that he has found the woman of his dreams. Cam is the kind of woman whom Charlie would be happy to grow old with, but what will come of their relationship if Charlie and Cam sleep together? Now, in order to ensure that Cam doesn't end up with the next guy she meets, Charlie will finally attempt to break the curse that has plagued him since childhood. Perhaps with a little help from smooth-talking ladies' man and sympathetic best friend Stu (Dan Fogler), Charlie will finally be able to experience true happiness. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    [My predicted rating: 2.5]

    This one was a great surprise to me, I was all set to watch a passable RomCom, but this was definitely a funny, albeit pretty crude Comedy. Dane Cook (not heard of before) was of course the star of this film, it was easy watching, cringeable in parts,... read more corny but quite original.

    I watched this? I rated it but don't remember. Obviously a forgettable movie.

    One of the best romcoms ever made! Dane Cook is amazing! He's so hilarious and Jessica Alba thrives off him. A must see!

    I wasn't sure about this movie. I liked the previews but was expecting to be let down by the actual movie. It was funny, the fat sidekick guy really got on my nerves and the end was over the top in the cheesiness factor, but other than that I enjoyed it.

    I would give this movie 5 stars for trying to be a porno and succeeding! This was way to dirty to have even went to theatres, it's almost in the category of adult!

    Has some good lines but is unnecessarily dirty.

    Charlie is chased by women because they believe he is a good luck charm. After they sleep with him they find true love and get married to the next guy. But Charlies loves Cam and he wants to be with her, so how can he break the curse and not lose her to the next guy?
  • April 29, 2009
    Charlie is cursed. The next man you meet after sleeping with Charlie becomes her true love. So women are lining up to sleep with Charlie -- and the movie takes full advantage to show snapshots of Charlie having intercourse with many different women - so many they have to use sp... read morelit screen to fit them all in.

    Of course the issue is that with a curse like that, Charlie will never land up as the true love to anybody, even if he loves her. Actually there are some pretty disgusting parts to the movie. His best friend for one. The 400 pound women complete with a shopping bag of donuts who Charlie "seduces" to attempt to prove the curse has been lifted. Plus Charlie is not that funny. This movie is not that funny for that matter.

    Not a bad film really i found it quite amusing so its a good romcom but an easy to follow nice film!
  • April 24, 2009
    A pretty decent comedy with more than a fair share of laughs. A real mix of sex/romantic comedies that it is like most rom-coms and predictable but also similar to the likes of American Pie in many ways. Overall quite funny at times and enjoyable enough to watch if you like these... read more styles of comedy films.

What isn't forgivable, though, is being boring, and Good Luck Chuck has all the engaging magnetism of an unflushed toilet. Full Review

Can we finally just admit that Dane Cook isn't funny? Full Review

Richard Roeper

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

This is an unoriginal, dull-witted, juvenile, crude, offensive, idiotic and pointless romantic comedy that makes no sense. None.

Susan Walker

Susan Walker, Toronto Star

Good Luck Chuck looks like the unscreenable bits of bad movies best forgotten retrieved from the cutting-room floor. Full Review

Peter Hartlaub

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

It's worth mentioning for the third time that this movie is much closer to Caligula than Sleepless in Seattle. Full Review

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Good Luck Chuck has laugh-out-loud moments, many more if you've never outgrown giggling at somebody saying a naughty word. Full Review

Jan Stuart

Jan Stuart, Newsday

It's a sexed-up, dumbed-down Dr. T and the Women, with penguins to pacify women who've been railroaded into going to this movie by their loutish boyfriends. Full Review

A.O. Scott, New York Times

The main audience for Good Luck Chuck wants to confront one of the central cultural questions of our time: Will Jessica Alba take her top off? Full Review

Kyle Smith

Kyle Smith, New York Post

The sex jokes, all of them clammy and stale, are reminiscent not of Wedding Crashers but of an Eighth Avenue peep-show booth in 1979. Full Review

There's still time, but for now, Fogler gets my vote for the worst performance of the year. Full Review
