50At least Jessica Alba's legion of fans will have something to smile about. If nothing else, Helfrich has shown her in the best light. If only there was something worth seeing here other than her.
-
The script by Josh Stolberg has no fizz. It's possible to sit for half an hour without cracking a smile. Part of the problem is sheer repetitiveness; another problem is that Stu's leering remarks are repulsive rather than endearing.
-
40If "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.
-
40It's a strictly date-night-rental affair, and if you still get Ryan Reynolds and Dane Cook confused, this will do little to help sort things out.
-
40Though he's known for his mildly edgy standup, someone in authority has decided Cook would be well-suited for fluffy romantic comedies, but like last fall's Employee of the Month, Good Luck Chuck is so undistinguished that it feels like an extended screen test.
-
40Dane Cook sells out arenas with his stand-up act, and Jessica Alba is, well, Jessica Alba, but once "Chuck" exhausts their devoted bases, this doesn't promise to bring much good luck to Lionsgate.
-
40The movie spares no effort to reach out to the crudest, youngest audiences it can.
-
38There's still time, but for now, Fogler gets my vote for the worst performance of the year.
-
38Like everything else about this insulting romantic comedy, the Jessica Alba/Dane Cook love match is degraded by vile jokes, a boorish attitude toward women and a smutty tackiness not seen since those stupid nudie-cuties of the 1960s.
-
30The main audience for this dim little sex comedy has no particular interest in seeing Ms. Alba act. They want to see her in her underwear and also to confront one of the central cultural questions of our time: will she take her top off?
-
25Here is the dirty movie of the year, slimy and scummy, and among its casualties is poor Jessica Alba, who is a cutie and shouldn't have been let out to play with these boys.
-
25Good Luck Chuck is this year's low-ender to beat.
-
25That closing-credits sequence is by far the funniest thing in the disappointing movie,
-
25This is less an affront to women than it is to comedy.
-
25One Star (and only for quoting Knee-Chee).
-
25There's an audience out there for this kind of thing--Cook is obviously a populist, and Norbit made bushels of money--but if this is what passes for funny, what in the world of comedy DOESN'T qualify?
-
20Veers between flaccid slapstick and mean-spirited vulgarity.
-
16It tries to be a sappy love story, an incredibly vile gross-out comedy and an envelope-pushing soft-core porno movie all at once. It ends up being an unappealing abomination.
-
12Good Luck Chuck, a fungal little sex comedy, doesn't need a review. It needs a tube of ointment and a shot of penicillin.
-
0If raunch-comedy maestro Judd Apatow had not just an evil, but an evil-and-untalented twin, this grotesque excrescence would be his signature work.
-
Can we finally just admit that Dane Cook isn't funny? In a comedy so lame its plot could've been swiped from a Bazooka Joe wrapper.
-
0It's stupefying in its dullness and vulgarity.
-
0It was like a Farrelly brothers gross-out without the laughs.
