Consensus: A shortage of laughs and an undercurrent of mean-spiritedness undermine Good Luck Chuck, squandering a decent premise on gross-out humor and shopworn slapstick.
Theatrical Release:08-11-2007
Synopsis: Standup comedian Dane Cook (EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH) stars in this romantic comedy as Charlie Logan, a successful dentist cursed with the affliction of having the women he dates fall in love with the... [More]
Reviews for Good Luck Chuck
The script is so reliant on wish-fulfillment it forgets to add those important little touches: you know, wit, sincerity, characterisation, that kind of thing… A very cheap shot – and hardly anyone calls him ‘Chuck’.

Top CriticShoddily written.
11/09/07
A ramshackle piece of fleeting entertainment.
09/29/07
Good Luck Chuck has its moments - though the half-decent comedy moments are outweighed by the gags that fizzle and the cruddy loutish moments.
11/09/07
Top CriticIf it wasn’t for the presence of leading lady Jessica Alba, Good Luck Chuck would be lucky to get even a DVD release.
11/09/07
Crude, vulgar and dispiriting to watch.
11/09/07
It’s too gross to be sweet and too sweet to be gross.

Top CriticIf Wedding Crashers is in your top ten rom-coms ever, you might not hate this. Otherwise, it’s too gross to be sweet and too sweet to be gross.
11/08/07
Top CriticA tedious stream of nightmarish deja vu.
11/07/07
Average comedy that squanders its decent premise in favour of a splattering of unfunny gross-out gags.
11/08/07
As dire a cum-com as ever shot its load on a cinema screen.
11/09/07
Top CriticAn unpleasant sex romp of the kind Robin Askwith made in the 1970s.
11/09/07
Top CriticCross the street to avoid this one.
11/09/07
Top CriticDespite a strong cast, the filmmakers squander a clever premise for a series of unoriginal, cheap jokes.
09/20/07
If you like slapstick, see it.
09/29/07
If you’re expecting something smart from Dane Cook, you’re out of luck.
09/22/07
The movie goes out of its way to be offensive, even by today's standards. The interesting thing is that it does it in an otherwise charming romantic comedy that's actually funny.
10/26/07
Gross. Exactly what the target demographic wants and gets.
09/19/07
Normally, I start to get the dry heaves when I see Dane Cook on the big screen, but this movie makes him likable

January 28, 2008:
Because the jokes fall flat, the dialogue is dumb and the Swiss cheese script reads like an afterthought, the only logical conclusion is that all of the above is just a transparent excuse for a constant parade of topless females.
