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

| Jan 15, 2008

Crude, vulgar and dispiriting to watch.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 9, 2007

Shoddily written.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 9, 2007

Cross the street to avoid this one.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 9, 2007

An unpleasant sex romp of the kind Robin Askwith made in the 1970s.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 9, 2007

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'.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 9, 2007

If 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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 8, 2007

A tedious stream of nightmarish deja vu.

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 26, 2007

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

| Original Score: F | Sep 26, 2007

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

Good Luck Chuck is so undistinguished that it feels like an extended screen test.

If you're expecting something smart from Dane Cook, you're out of luck.

What if you took one of the underwhelming Matthew McConaughey romantic comedies like Failure to Launch and added T&A, gross-out humor, and the gorgeous Jessica Alba?

Full Review | Sep 21, 2007

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

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Sep 21, 2007

It's all rather messy in lots of ways. Fortunately the appealing presence and physical comedy of Cook and Fogler fill a lot of holes that would otherwise just be dirty ditches.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 21, 2007

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

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 21, 2007

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 | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 21, 2007

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 | Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 21, 2007

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.
