GOOD LUCK CHUCK
Good Luck Chuck is at it's base your typical guy meets girl, guy falls in love with girl, guy messes it up and girl gets mad, guy has to try and win girl back film. But it is funny.
The basis of the film and the belief of the main character Charlie Logan (Dane Cook) is absurd. Charlie believes that as a result of him sleeping with a girl, the girl then finds true love and gets married to the next man she meets. Hey it's a comedy and this is Hollywood so it serves it's purpose. The problem arises however when Charlie meets the cute and clumsy Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba). Cam has her guard up at first but lets it down to Charlie and the two have a good old time that is until Charlie can not help himself from sleeping with Cam- and who could. After sleeping with Cam, Charlie is afraid he will lose her so he goes balls to the wall (stalker style) in order to show his love and affection for Cam. This in turn pushes her away and we then have the protagonists struggle to win the girl back.
This is an overall good comedy with funny parts throughout although it does suffer in certain areas. Alba is a feast for the eyes, especially in her underwear and her acting helps hold together the very poor performance of Cook, who's performance should have changed the name of the movie to "Good Luck Dane" for his likelihood of ever getting an acting gig again. But again, this is a comedy so we aren't excepting an Oscar dance from him. Alba's clumsiness at times gets a bit much and overdone however it doesn't quite get to the point of annoying. The standout in this movie other than the adorableness of Jessica Alba is that of Stu (Dan Fogler). He out shines Cook's performance both comedically and acting wise, which will surely land him in many more buddy comedies. I would definitely recommend this movie for a good laugh, Jessica Alba and how could I ever forget the barrage of boob shots (unfortunately none of which are Alba's). My overall score considering this is a comedy is 6 out of 10.
