Editorial Reviews

A serial dater afflicted with a lifelong curse of loneliness attempts to win the love of a clumsy but beautiful penguin expert in the one romantic comedy that proves true love never comes easy. As a ten-year-old boy, Charlie (Dane Cook), breaks the cardinal rule of spin-the-bottle by refusing to kiss a demented goth girl. Crushed by the disheartening snub and determined to ensure that Charlie never finds true love, the vengeful brooder places a hex on the cowardly rule breaker that follows him well into his adult life. Flash-forward 20 years, and Charlie is a successful dentist who just can't seem to maintain a stable relationship. Sure he's had his fair share of one-night stands, but these days Charlie is just looking to find a nice girl he can settle down with. One day, while attending an ex-girlfriend's wedding, Charlie realizes that every girl he has ever dated has proceeded to find true love with the very next man they've met. When word gets out that Charlie is something of a lucky charm for women looking to tie the knot, every women within a 100-mile radius comes calling for a one-night stand; and while taking a bevy of beauties to bed is fun for the time being, it doesn't take long for Charlie to realize just how empty sex can be without true love. Upon meeting hard-to-get aquatic bird specialist Cam (Jessica Alba), Charlie begins to suspect that he has found the woman of his dreams. Cam is the kind of woman whom Charlie would be happy to grow old with, but what will come of their relationship if Charlie and Cam sleep together? Now, in order to ensure that Cam doesn't end up with the next guy she meets, Charlie will finally attempt to break the curse that has plagued him since childhood. Perhaps with a little help from smooth-talking ladies' man and sympathetic best friend Stu (Dan Fogler), Charlie will finally be able to experience true happiness. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

August 31, 2009: I've read several reviews comparing this movie to Dane Cooks stand up

comedy, and making claims of this film having too much sexual content.

Too much sexual content perhaps for someone frigid. This movie has only

a little more sex than your average comedy of today, and at least the

sexual content of this show is necessary to tell the story, instead of

sex for the sake of sex. The movie is about a guy with a curse on him

in which every woman he has sex with, marries the next guy she meets.

Women wanting to be brides then line up to have sex with this man, so that

they can find their true Love and get married. When Charlie meets his

true Love, he is torn between his desire for her sexually, and his fear of

going to bed with her, and losing her. If he does sleep with her, will she find

another Love to be with? It's a funny idea, with a good cast for this

type of movie. Like my headline says, it's not art, it's just plain fun.

It's not supposewd to move you, or teach you, make you think, or even

make you lust. It's just entertainment. The kind you just kick back

and enjoy, without putting a lot of thought to it. So give your brain

a rest and just enjoy the show for what it is. Also, Love the song

"Love it when you call" by The Feeling. Too bad though that they kept

cutting a line from the song which makes it sound much better. The song

originally says " I Love it when you call...but you never call at all.

The movie makers chose to cut the line, but you never call at all. I can

only suggest buying The Feeling's CD Twelve stops and home, to get the

best version of this song, and pass on the soundtrack CD. The movie is

however quite entertaining and funny, well worth the now cheap price

of the DVD. I noticed one reviewer claiming this movie to be an excuse

to show Dane Cook with a whole lot of different women. Well, the whole lot

of different women is necessary to the storyline. Furthermore, I doubt

that many movie makers are looking for excuses to show a variety of women

sleeping with Dane Cook. Dane Cook is an average looking guy. Maybe a

little above average, but hardly in the league of hunk status, which would be undeerstandable if he were and they wanted to make a sexy

film with him. The movie has sex in it because of the storyline, but is

not about being sexy. It's about comedy. Nothing too deep. Just fun.

Enjoy the show, and don't over think it. It's not thought provoking. It's

just fun.

April 26, 2008: Why is everybody so appalled at this movie? I thought it was a great comedy. The amount of nudity did cross the line, but if some people cannot look beyond that, so be it. I enjoyed this film even though I unwillingly watched it to humor my friends. Out of all the movies I have seen (a lot for 18), there are three that I frown on, and this is far from one. I recommend it at least for a viewing and good laugh. But if you have some sort of horrible phobia of nudity, or it simply disgusts you, maybe you should pass on this one.

Why We Rated This Appropriate for Ages 16 and UP

What to watch out for

  • Language:

    Many euphemisms for female genitalia and sex: "f--k," "p--y," "p--n," etc. Other curse words ("s--t," "ass," "a--hole," etc.) are said frequently but still less often than the sexual words.

  • Messages

  • Sex:

    There's barely a breast-free scene in the movie. Extensive montages of Chuck and dozens of topless women having sex in various positions. Only one love scene -- with Alba -- is nudity free. A disturbing image of a woman with three breasts.... More

    There's barely a breast-free scene in the movie. Extensive montages of Chuck and dozens of topless women having sex in various positions. Only one love scene -- with Alba -- is nudity free. A disturbing image of a woman with three breasts. Chuck simulates oral sex on a stuffed penguin. A man pleasures himself with a grapefruit. Close

  • Consumerism:

    Hummer SUV; Pamela Anderson's breast implants.

  • Drugs:

    Chuck gets incredibly drunk before one sexual encounter; wedding guests drink champagne; Cam's brother is supposedly always high and in one scene smokes marijuana.

  • Violence:

    Chuck pushes and shoves a man and suffers several mishaps, like getting dental instruments stuck into his back, getting electrocuted, having shards of glass fall into his lap, etc. Cam accidentally falls and hurts herself several times.

What Parents Need to Know

About Good Luck Chuck

Parents need to know that since this movie imitates the raunchy comedy style of The Wedding Crashers and Judd Apatow movies, it might appeal to older teens who are fans of "hard R" comedies. But this one doesn't have its predecessors' charm, and even though "only" one character smokes pot, nudity and sex (both as a subject of conversation and the act itself) are ubiquitous, and in some cases downright disgusting. Women are discussed as if they were walking genitalia, obese women are the target of ridicule, and even 10-year-olds are depicted as sex fiends who want to actually "do it" during a game of "7 Minutes in Heaven." Plus, the idea that women are so desperate to get married that they'd sleep with a stranger is demeaning and sexist.

Families Can Talk About

Families can talk about the "raunchy comedy" trend. Why are sex- and swearing-filled movies so popular? Is this movie as successful as its hard-R predecessors, or does it fall flat? Why? Parents, ask your kids what parts of the movie they found offensive. Why was that the case? Did any of it seem romantic? Why or why not? Families can also discuss whether the movie's central joke is sexist or funny. Do you think women would really line up to sleep with a stranger just so they can get married to the next man they meet?
