MPAA RATING: R for sequences of strong sexual content including crude dialogue, nudity, language and some drug use
Starring Dane Cook, Jessica Alba, Dan Fogler, and Ben Ayres
It all started when Charlie Logan was 10 years old. Breaking the cardinal rules of spin the bottle, Charlie refused to lip-lock with a demented goth girl--and she put a hex on him. Now, 25 years later, Charlie is a successful dentist...and still cursed. While his plastic-surgeon best friend, Stu, pursues as many of his patients as possible, Charlie can't seem to find the right girl. Even worse, he discovers at an ex-girlfriend's wedding that every woman he's ever slept with has found true love--with the next guy after him. Before he knows it, Charlie's reputation as a "good luck charm" has women--from sexy strangers to his overweight receptionist--lining up for a quickie. A life filled with all sex and no love has Charlie lonelier than ever--that is, until he meets Cam. An accident-prone penguin specialist, Cam is as hard-to-get as she is beautiful. But when a genuine romance develops, Charlie realizes he's got to find a way to break his good-luck curse...before the girl of his dreams winds up with the next guy she meets. (Lionsgate)

I understand that the movie is having many flaws... it gives wrong impression about the culture and ethics.. Yes. we cannot enjoy the movie if you try to find out the good message out of it.. BUT.. really I enjoyed the performance of Jessica Alba.. and Cook.. Jessica Alba proved once again that she is the Best.
Nim C. gave it a5:
I thought parts of the movie were funny but the jokes became tiresome and repetitive. Please no-one compare this to Superbad. The characters in Superbad were always funny and endearing and the storyline was brilliant. Good Luck Chuck was just 1 and a bit hours of crude and sometimes disturing boob jokes with no chemistry between the characters. Jessica ... what were you thinking??
Dan G. gave it a1:
Ok it just sucks people. I work at a DVD rental store and un-recommend it to people as the ask me if it's good (making sure to do so loudly enough that anyone else in the store doesn't make the mistake). Oh, and if you didn't know who Dane Cook was before this movie, you're not missing much.
Jim S. gave it a0:
Believe the critics on this one. One of my friends has been telling me how funny this movie is. So, I finally watched it and it is bad. I fast forwarded through much of it. I can find something entertaining in most movies, and I tried really hard to like it, but it was no use. Stupid, crude, unfunny, full of every ridiculous cliche. Please don't subject yourself to this.
Thomas T. gave it a2:
I thought that there might have been a chance that this movie would have been entertaining... but I was wrong.
Rick S. gave it a2:
By far one of the worst movies I've ever seen. When will Hollywood realize that if they want a poor excuse for a film, they will put such unfunny wanna-be actors in such as, I don't know, Dane Cook? Not to mention the uncalled for sex scenes. I'll admit, there are times when a sex scene is needed, but this was grotesque. It was as if Mark Helfrich was just trying to give the American High School kids something to talk about instead of focusing on a good movie. The script, well...have you seen it? I give it a rating of two, for pity's sake.
K C gave it a0:
This movie is aggressively stupid. Dane Cook is an embarrassment to humanity.
