Good Luck Chuck Audience Reviews

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Python Hyena Good Luck Chuck (2007): Dir: Mark Helfrich / Cast: Dane Cook, Jessica Alba, Dan Fogler, Annie Wood, Chelan Simmons: Vulgar comedy about pursuing relationships for sheer thrill. Chuck is hexed by a goth chick at a birthday party when he was young and as a result every woman who sleeps with him finds love with the next guy. This leads to numerous offers until he meets an accident prone penguin expect whom he falls for. Fine setup nearly destroyed by predictable story telling and insincerity. Director Mark Helfrich does his best but the material despite potential, just isn't as funny as it should be. Dane Cook does a fine job as Chuck who ends up warding off Alba in hopes of keeping her while also becoming a test object for the gratification of others. Jessica Alba is miscast and the accident prone aspect seems to disappear. Eventually Cook's pursuit becomes creepy as oppose to funny leaving an ending that lacks sincerity. Dan Fogler has his moments as Cook's perverted best friend but the role is standard and typical at best. Annie Wood is also featured among supporting cast, as well as Chelan Simmons playing an ex- girlfriend of Chuck's who ought to have her head examined. The film seems poised as a bad sexual escapade that might have sounded great as a pitch idea. Otherwise viewers are wished good luck in watching it and urged to chuck it. Score: 4 ½ / 10
adi_2002 Until he meets the love of his life. Of course one thing common in genre films, certainly not this only occurred in one. But even so the idea is wrong, how to sleep with him and after that find eternal love? They can not do this without making Chuck happy? Love parties and nudity scenes bring a minus, the movie can be considered one of bad taste, but even so I was amused. Phases with Jessica, how she was in an embarrassing situation due to inattention to the wedding, the dentist, on the street when the pole head on, there were some funny scenes that anyone can be amused. I liked Chuck's sense of humor, knows how to make a girl laugh, every time they were talking he had one reply which amused by the situation. A comedy that has good and bad parts but still makes you laugh.
jimakros MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS This is one of the "could have been great rom-com" movies.The premise is really funny,of a guy who is "cursed" at childhood by a little girl he rejects,to never be able to find true love,because all the women he will meet in his life,will find true love with the next guy they date after him.This not only creates serious problems to his love life,but also,once women get to believe that about him,they go crazy looking to take advantage,so they can find the love of their own lives after dating him. The stars are likable,Dane Cook is convincing enough as a playboy women find attractive,Alba is not really good at comedy,but here the part demands of her not so much to be funny,but to be more of a girl who inspires real passion,which is down her path. So ,all the ingredients were there,if only the script knew how to develop this.Unfortunately,the script drowns into needless extreme profanity and then goes into an unfortunate excursion into soft porn.They could have easily shown the same story without all the needless nudity.The nudity,sex scenes and extreme profanity just destroyed this movie. The situation the lead character finds himself is funny enough,showing women chasing him was enough,without having to show the sex. All the sex could have just easily been hinted at.Just showing the character going out with women,or just being exhausted the next day,is enough for the audience to get it without having to show the action in his bedroom.I guess they just didn't believe in their own story and thought they needed these scenes.Bad mistake.The other bad mistake is how they wrote the character of his friend,whose profanity is overdone to a ridiculous degree. To a lesser degree i didn't like the accident prone character of Alba,i didn't get it why that was necessary,and the point when Cook's character goes berserk was really out of place.So,all in all,too may things went wrong in this movie.Its really a shame because one gets a feeling that with a few but serious script changes this had the makings of a classic romantic comedy.
Steve Angeli This 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!
