Sadly, that is indeed the most accurate way to describe it. Or possibly - as the more jaded (or prurient) viewers would be inclined to believe - "Chuck" is simply about showing off Alba in her panties. A completely different trailer depicted "Chuck" as a slapstick Cook vehicle sporting a mighty attractive, yet endearingly clumsy, Jessica Alba. From one depicting Chuck's many beautiful love-interests, Dane Cook's newest romp appeared to be a by-the-book romantic comedy. Good Luck Chuck is a horrible film that just doesn't deliver the comedy goods that a film with this sort of idea.Due to the seemingly unrelated trailers that schizophrenically advertised the film, one could expect "Good Luck Chuck" to be about one of three things. Skip this pointless, uninteresting comedy you'll be glad you did. The film like I said only has minor laughs, with most of the jokes falling flat and are unfunny to begin with. Dane Cook sucks and this film proves it yet again. This might have been a film that could have worked if the cast would have been better, and it definitely needed a script rewrite with emphasis on writing better jokes. Good Luck Chuck was a painful experience to sit through and in the long run, it is a highly forgettable film that is probably now sold in bargain bins. It's no wonder the guy fails as an actor, his delivery just doesn't cut it, and it becomes tiresome. His routine is just stupid gimmicks where he makes irritating noises. He was humorous in Waiting, and aside from that, he never did anything worth seeing. Dane Cook's career as a comedian is a mess and he is one of the worst comedians that I have seen. This is a film that is not worth seeing, and you'd be better off watching something else.

I found that this film was peppered with clichés and a poor plot, not to mention a bad cast.

This film lacks anything original, interesting and truly entertaining. Dane Cook is a horrible comedian, and aside from his minor role in Waiting is definitely not funny. Good Luck Chuck is a bad comedy that has a few minor laughs, but ultimately fails in being an effective comedy. Overall, this film could have been so good in the right hands, but it's not. So as often happens, women in romantic comedies are devoid of personality, reduced to objects of male desire. She has quirks, demonstrated by her klutziness, but she's only klutzy when there's a bit at all other times, Jessica Alba plays her as cute girl with a confidence and charm that belies the rest of the character. She serves as a vessel for male interest. There are a few moments when Charlie seems to have depth, but throughout most of the film his as plastic as Dane Cook's comedy act.Ĭam's character also deserves comment. Rather than crafting a character who has some special insight or unique effect that allows his girlfriends to be emotionally prepared for a real relationship, the film resorts to some voodoo bullshit and devolves into a cliche sex comedy. However, the execution leaves much to be desired. I find the premise of this film interesting and engaging. A man falls in love just as he realizes that all his exes immediately find happy relationships after they date him.
