Good Luck Chuck (2007)

Terrible.
One of the worst films of the year...and I knew this beforehand. I just had no idea HOW bad it was going to be. I consider Dane Cook to be a moderately funny comedian, so I expected it to be one of those piece of crap movies that has the occasional laugh out loud moment. I laughed maybe once. The rest of the time, I winced and just felt embarrased for the people on screen. The fact that I watched this with my parents didn't help. One of the most uncomfortable experiences of my film-obsessed life. Ugh. Please pass on this.

funny movie
this movie is funnier than some of the reviews would suggest. sure its not the funniest movie ever but you will definately laugh. jessica alba looks real hot in this movie and dane cook is a good choice for his part. even though some of the humor is a little raunchy it goes well with the movie. even my parents laughed when they saw it and they dont laugh often. its worth a rental despite the negative reviews. just dont let the kids watch it.

Laughable Movie - Both in The Good and The Bad Senses
As expected, this movie has the usual romantic comedy formula: idiotic storyline and predictable ending. Those who expect to see a wisely written and surprising finale on a genre like this know they are wasting their time.

"Good Luck Chuck" has created mixed emotions among the audience. This can be seen by the reviews already posted in here. Some people, with a fair amount of reason, tend to link the excess of nudity and dirty jokes with lack of good ideas for the plot. I really don't have a problem with unrated scenes, but I feel bad for those who have. For those people, there is always a "clean" option to choose from, but what's the point in always creating two versions of a same film when only one, with good taste scenes only, can please all audiences? By the example of "Good Luck Chuck" and many other sex-oriented comedy movies, this seems to be the norm. With some creativity in the head, you can always be dirty and instigating without being almost obscene.

So when I say this movie is laughable in the good sense, I mean there are some jokes and situations that will really make you give a genuine laugh (that's what comedy movies are made for, right?) and just because of that you should watch it at least for once. Laughable in the bad sense means that every effort to make this movie convincing for the storyline and that adding a lot of short sex and nudity passages would fill the gap of a poor plot is just ridiculous. But like I said above, this wasn't really the intention.
