Good Luck Chuck was a good move as far as I'm concerned. The plot behind it was pretty generic but I think the idea of Dane Cook having a curse that potentially allows him to get laid all the time is great, but what was good is that they show him in his "prime" so to speak, but then also show that he's finally found someone , as cheesy as it is, that he loves for once. With the constant misfortunes of his new found love, and his inability to act upon his feelings for fear of losing her, Good Luck Chuck does a good job at getting the message across while still making you laugh. So if your looking for a home-run of a film this one may not be it, but its definitely worth the time to see.

American Pie Presents: Beta House
(2007 Video)
Comparison of the spin offs up to this point
3 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This is by far one of my favorite of the American Pie Spin offs mainly because in most of the others the main character (one of the young Stiflers) always seems unrealistic in nature.
For example AP: The Naked Mile. You have a teenage guy surrounded by naked college chicks , and has one in particular hot on his trail to rid him of his virginity "problem" and he ends up stopping mid-deed and rides a horse back to sleep with his girlfriend, who keep in mind gave him a "guilt free pass" for the weekend. I can appreciate the romantic aspect of the whole thing but let's be realistic; most people who are watching these movies aren't particularly searching for a romantic story.
Whereas the most recent installment finally seems to realize who the audience is and good old Erik Stifler seems to wake up and smell the roses and as always Mr. Levenstein lends his "perfectly natural" eyebrow humor to the equation and scored a touchdown with this new movie.
