DVD Reviews of Good Luck Chuck (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: There're better comedies and better porn than this.
Summary: 1 Stars
Synopsis: Chuck (Dane Cook) plays a thirtysomething dentist who always bungles his relationships only for his ex-lover to get married to someone else soon after they break up. He realizes that this is all due to a curse a girl placed on him as a child. His fair-weathered friend Stu (Dan Fogler) tells him to just go with it so Chuck ends up sleeping with ever woman in the area who's looking to meet her future Mr. Right (or Ms. Right as was shown with the lesbian officer.) He eventually meets penguin fanatic Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba) and the two forge a relationship. Yet because he's convinced of the curse, he smothers Cam to the point where she loses interest. He goes to the woman who put the curse on him, she lifted it, and then he and Cam... ah you know the rest already.
Yeah, the comedy parts of the movie weren't that funny, the story line was weak, and while I'm not opposed to nudity in film, it better be more than simply gratuitous unless it's specifically marketed as a porn, which is what we saw here. If I were a pre- or post-pubescent adolescent male, I'd be all about it. But I'm not, so it failed to move me.
I'd only recommend it to anyone who's internet is down and are really, really desperate...
DVD Review: Great flick for a great price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so excited to see this awesome laugh-out-loud comedy on Amizon at such a great pirce (totally blew Wal*Mart out of the water!) I was a bit worried about the condition of the DVD, however, being that I bought it used. When it arrived within a couple of days I watched it that night and was so happy to see no skipping! I give this purchase an A++!DVD Review: IN LOVE WITH JESSICA
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this as a result of a buy 2 get 1 free. It is a good movie and funny as well. Nothing bad about the movie, I just prefer nature flicks.DVD Review: One Joke Movie and the Joke Is Not Very Funny
Summary: 1 Stars
"Good Luck Chuck" is a one-joke movie and that joke is not that funny. Because of the spell cast on him while he was a ten-year-old boy, Charlie Logan is eternally prevented from finding true love. He discovers that all the women he slept with will get married happily after dumping him. This is a kind of joke (or perhaps a real-life episode) you may hear at some party. You may find it pretty amusing, but you soon forget it.
Somehow the filmmakers tried to develop the idea into a feature-length film in the wrong way. Many women in town, knowing the existence of "Good Luck Chuck," swarm around him just to get what they want. And Charlie accepts it. Cue to lots of nudities and unfunny jokes. Dane Cook as Charlie tries to make his character likable. He has no chance, however, especially when he is seen with his loud and noisy friend Stu (Dan Fogler), who is one of the most obnoxious characters I have ever seen.
But Good Luck Chuck finds his own Miss Right anyway, in a cute klutz Cam Wexler played by Jessica Alba. Despite her Razzie Award nomination, her turn as accident-prone penguin handler (walking into a lamppost) is not bad. Unfortunately her role is comparatively small and the film spends considerable time showing the misadventures of Chuck assisted by annoying Stu.
You may think this is romantic comedy in the vein of "There's Something About Mary" and "American Pie." "Good Luck Chuck" is not, lacking the comedic skill of the actors like Ben Stiller and Jason Biggs. And for all their gross-out jokes "Mary" and "Pie" are not mean-spirited, which "Good Luck Chuck" is.
DVD Review: Meh
Summary: 3 Stars
While I love Dane Cook and the fat guy with all the tasteless jokes, this movie kind of missed it for me.
Seems like they were trying to add Dane to the cast to make it a funnier movie than it would have been with any other actor. There's no Oscar buzz over GLC for a reason.
Having said that, it's a great "chick flick" that guys can suffer through thanks to the addition of Jessica Alba. It does have it's funny points but it's akin to Old School. Just another movie with lewd jokes and plot with a few great one liners thrown in
Description of Good Luck Chuck (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 09/09/2008 Run time: 101 minutes Rating: UrIn a perfect world, Good Luck Chuck would've captured the humor of Superbad and the raunch of the American Pie films. But what we're left with, instead, is a raunchy film with an anemic storyline. Cursed as a child with a hex that prevents him from finding true love, Charlie "Chuck" Logan (Dane Cook) finds that the women he dates find the men of their dreams immediately after they've dumped him. For a guy who enjoys dating beautiful women, it doesn't seem like such a horrible thing. But then he meets and falls for beautiful and klutzy Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba). Charlie wants to have a meaningful relationship with her, but how can he make her fall in love with him without losing her to some unknown man waiting to sweep her off her feet? Good Luck Chuck isn't an original movie; Cook and Alba make for an attractive couple that exudes warm chemistry. And Alba proves that while she may be famous for her body, she's quite adept at physical comedy. Dan Fogler doesn't fare as well. He has the thankless role of playing Charlie's obnoxious best friend Stu, a borderline perv plastic surgeon who proudly displays a set of Pamela Anderson's breast implants in his office (which, coincidentally enough, is located right next door to Charlie's). The dialogue is crass and the direction is all over the place. Everything is played for laughs, but little actually is very funny in this comedy. This movie actually could've used a bit more good luck. And lots more wit. --Jae-Ha Kim
