DNfromMN: Movie Review - Good Luck Chuck

If you like boobs, Good Luck Chuck is your man. I haven't seen so many boobs since I watched a ton of soft-core porn as a shameless 16 year old with free reign at the video store. And amongst all of these boobs,there is only a fleeting side-boobage of Jessica Alba. There's plenty of Dane Cook's ass, which actually looks good. Actually, everything about Dane Cook from the neck down is kind of appealing, dude got into decent shape for this movie. And he's not an ass in this movie, he's the hooker with a heart of gold. As we know, the hooker with a heart of gold makes a great deus ex machina but rarely a good lead character.

This is a one joke movie. And you've seen that joke in the ads. It is desperately wanting to be There's Something About Mary. (So desperate,that in the poster of a half-naked Dane Cook I ganked -- hello eBay -$10 anyone? anyone? Cost of shipping? done!-- they even say "There's something about Chuck"). There are a few good laughs that aren't in the previews and so I won't blow them here. This will do about as well as Superbad will, I think. There's more titties here than any Judd Apatow-related film, so it will get more teen boys off, and not really much to appeal to women unless they dig the raunch(boy's-best-friends-that-are-girls). There's a romance and something about fated relationships, but it's schlock.

Credit goes to Dane Cook for not playing a screaming loud mouth asshole. He's actually kind of sweet most of the time. I think that took a lot of script-rewriting to make him look nice. Too bad they couldn't do anything about Jess.

This movie will be a senior in high school/freshman in college wank video FOR-EVER.

Bottom 5 of the movie:

5. Alba couldn't be sweet if she were drizzled in honey and dipped in sugar. (that image was for you Ent)

4. Testing the Curse scene.. yes, you see it, I have never had the urge to vomit in a movie other than horror movies until now. Thank you GLC!

3. Pot humor just isn't funny anymore

2. Every woman was cast for boobs, there are so many vacant stares...

1. Cliche after cliche after cliche.

Top 5 of the movie:

5. Learning all the possible slang for sex from one character

4. "It's a known fact that stimulating the prostate..."

3. The origin story (how Chuck obtains this special power)

2. He's a dentist, and he gets laid a lot. Dentists need that. I'll give them #2 for that.

1. When Chuck uses his power for good (it was good for Dane, since he'll never see that much booby in the rest of his life.. at least I hope so.)

I was entertained, but glad I didn't pay. Here's my rating scale:

$0.00 - Not even for free on TV, I'd rather watch bowling

$3.00 - Cheapie/Second-run Theater

$5.00 - Rental

$9.00 - Full price

$15.00 - Full price + Popcorn

I'd give this a solid $3.00 from the late 20s gay male. If you're a straight man, somewhere between $6-9. Woman 3.00, but your man has to buy you popcorn AND goobers.
