Strange concept -- This is basically a chick flick, with the usual lonely guy meets lonely gal, they work through colossal problems, and finally end up at their blissful wedding.
The problem here is that this "chick flick" is loaded with raunchy language and sexual situations, and a LOT of bare female breasts. Not appealing to the average woman. And the mooney-eyed love story theme will not likely appeal to those guys looking for a steamy film. So . . . this effort is left searching for its audience, whatever that might be.
I am tossing in a few stars for the comedic content. There was some laugh out loud funny stuff. I can't say that this was a waste of time. Once I got situated in it, I enjoyed much of it. Not an awards candidate, but funny and somewhat clever. It's just a strange mix.
'Good Luck Chuck' got so much bad press I thought I would hate this movie, but it's not 'THAAAAT' bad...... around 2 1/2 stars....I had to give it 3 stars on the ratings board to even things out a bit. I like Dane Cook, but he has not proven himself as an actor yet. The cast is OK with lots of nude chicks, but it doesn't really pick up any steam until they get through all the usual sex jokes and start getting down to the love story which is all too brief and not all that satisfying. Allow me to clarify my last statement as I have raised a few eyebrows with it. I'm a guy, I like to look at nude chicks, but at some point in this film it became ridiculous and it was time to move on......maybe I just wanted to see Jessica Alba nude? :-D I've seen much worse, but I've seen much better. The DVD transfer is good and if you've seen everything else at the rental store, you might give this a look.
