A so so comedy...
Added 11/17/2009
"Good Luck Chuck" is about Charlie Logan (Dane Cook) who has been cursed by a young goth girl to never be married. He discovers as he grows up that every woman he ever dates and has sex with, finds her perfect mate, which is never him.
But along the way he finds a klutzy woman, Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba), who he falls in love with, but whom he knows he will not be able to marry because of his curse. For some reason she doesn't want to get involved with him, and so he continues on having sex with many women who he knows are only one night stands. Eventually he wants to really test out this curse, and so he puts it upon himself to date and then have sex with the most undesirable woman he can find. After finding out that he apparently is no longer cursed he seeks out Cam and they finally have sex, only for Charlie to later find out that the curse is still apparently working as the "undesirable" woman that he had sex with has actually found someone that wants to marry her. This sends Charlie into a fit, as he finds out Came is apparently going out on a date with a famous Penguin expert. In order to try and hold onto her he ends up smothering Cam, and he subsequently gets the boot.
One does get exasperated with Charlie's over the top feelings of insecurity, and the vacuous line of sexual partners that he entertains. This is a so so affair with some chuckles and slap stick humor.

Lame movie
Added 9/29/2009
The problem with this movie and, I think, other Dane Cook movies, is that the character he plays are absolutely unsympathetic and without redeeming moral quality. Even after he "learns" his lesson or does whatever it is he does that makes it possible for him to get the girl, he is still not a likeable character. There is a limit to how much an audience can relate to someone who acts poorly all the time. Moreover, this a one joke movie.
Movies this bad only reinforce that even vulgar comedies, which can be quite funny, live or die by their writing. A poor script makes for a poor movie, even if it does have Jessica Alba in it.

Good Funny Pick
Added 9/23/2009
Good Luck Chuck is a good romantic comedy (I know, it was hard for me to believe) movie. Jessica Alba is sooooo HOT! and Dane Cook does a good job acting in this movie. Good Luck Chuck is about a man and the myth that if he sleeps with someone, the next person they meet is their true love. It has some really funny scenes between Chuck and his best friend who is a complete pervert. This is a good movie it is funny, well written, and clever.

I've Seen Better.
Added 10/26/2009
I went movie shopping at WAL-MART and this was one of the movies. I watched this movie, and I thought it was better than a lot of movies I seen, but not the best. it's an ok movie, with good but what was the point in it? It wasn't a horrible movie but good thing this movie was only $7.50 cause I would have never spent more on it.

A funny concept, but execution is flawed
Added 7/9/2009
Did they have to film Jessica Simpson in brief snippets because her acting skills are all but nil? She displays almost no ability to emote here, and appears to have but one speed at most. Still, they get the details almost correct of what it must be like to work at a Sam's Club-like superstore where perfection leads to the meaningless title of employee of the month, or in this case, the winner of a perfectly dull almost new Chevy Malibu or some such. The action flags severely in the middle, but this has some nice moments. Actually kind of funny for a comedy.
