manic and forced, 8 November 2007
6/10
Author: jemps918 from Philippines

Dane Cook (Waiting) plays affable dentist Charlie Logan, who has what other men would not call a problem. Single women eagerly sleep with him because the next guy they meet is their true love, a hex cast upon him by a spurned Goth girl he refused to kiss when he was ten years old.

He takes advantage of his extraordinary situation until he falls in love with Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba), a hot girl with a penchant for penguins who strangely isn't interested in him. While Charlie is good luck for the ladies, Cam is incessantly clumsy and plagued by bad luck. Despite this, Charlie pursues her but has to hold back from sleeping with her lest she falls for the next guy she meets.

There is a LOT of sex and nudity in this movie, but if you're expecting a naked Jessica Alba you will be disappointed. One would think that putting a reasonably attractive man like Cook together with the hot Alba would be enough to create chemistry but on screen, their acting is manic and forced. Cook is reportedly a good stand-up comic, and it's a shame that the script seems constrict his touted talents. Alba is simply not funny and she does a lot of overacting in a desperate bid for comedy. Even the supporting cast is weak; Charlie's best friend who plays a plastic surgeon obsessed with breasts is so repugnant, which is a mortal sin since sidekicks are meant to be likable. The jokes are few and far between, so if you're fine with that, watch Good Luck Chuck if only to pass the time.
