Python Hyena Good Luck Chuck (2007): Dir: Mark Helfrich / Cast: Dane Cook, Jessica Alba, Dan Fogler, Annie Wood, Chelan Simmons: Vulgar comedy about pursuing relationships for sheer thrill. Chuck is hexed by a goth chick at a birthday party when he was young and as a result every woman who sleeps with him finds love with the next guy. This leads to numerous offers until he meets an accident prone penguin expect whom he falls for. Fine setup nearly destroyed by predictable story telling and insincerity. Director Mark Helfrich does his best but the material despite potential, just isn't as funny as it should be. Dane Cook does a fine job as Chuck who ends up warding off Alba in hopes of keeping her while also becoming a test object for the gratification of others. Jessica Alba is miscast and the accident prone aspect seems to disappear. Eventually Cook's pursuit becomes creepy as oppose to funny leaving an ending that lacks sincerity. Dan Fogler has his moments as Cook's perverted best friend but the role is standard and typical at best. Annie Wood is also featured among supporting cast, as well as Chelan Simmons playing an ex- girlfriend of Chuck's who ought to have her head examined. The film seems poised as a bad sexual escapade that might have sounded great as a pitch idea. Otherwise viewers are wished good luck in watching it and urged to chuck it. Score: 4 ½ / 10

Jackson Booth-Millard This was exactly the same story as White Chicks, I expected to loathe it entirely, but surprisingly I found myself liking quite a lot of it, I kind of wish that wasn't the case, but oh well. Basically in 1985 during a game of spin the bottle little Charlie Logan (Connor Price) was forced to go into a closet with Goth girl (Sasha Pieterse), and when he refused to show her his penis she cursed him with a witchcraft spell. In the present day, this curse is still upon the now dentist doctor Charlie 'Chuck' (Employee of the Month's Dane Cook), every time he sleeps with a woman she soon after finds her true love and gets married. One day he meets the girl of his dreams, the accident-prone and extremely clumsy penguin based marine biologist Cam Wexler (Razzie nominated Jessica Alba), who is lightly refusing a date. Many women are approaching Chuck recently having heard about what has happened after women have slept with him, starting with Carol (Chelan Simmons) and following with secretary Reba (Ellia English). Chuck's sex-obsessed and jock-like friend Dr. Stuart 'Stu' Klaminsky (Balls of Fury's Dan Fogler), who has his dream career doing boob jobs, convinces him that if all these women are coming to him asking for his "services", i.e. sex, he should take advantage and have as much as he wants, so he does. Then he decides to give up this "guilt-free sex" with numerous women to concentrate on try a serious relationship with Cam, who finally agrees to a date with him. They have a very nice time, and it comes to the point where it looks like they will have sex, but a phone call from Stu confirms that every single woman Chuck has slept with has indeed got married, so sex with Cam is a no go area. While deliberately avoiding Cam for a while, Chuck wants to really test out this theory that anyone woman he has sex with will get married, so he finds the most hideous morbidly obese woman to do the deed with, and asks Stu to ask her out after. After Stu claims that he did ask the woman out, Chuck goes back to Cam and they allow themselves to have sex with each other, they seem really happy, but then Stu confesses he didn't ask the fat woman out. On the news the woman has got married, and Chuck is fearful that Cam will find her next love and get married, so he over actively showers her with gifts, and goes to see Anisha (Michelle Harrison), the girl who cursed him, to try and remove it. Cam thinking he is stalking her announces it's over, and thinking that he now has no chance with his true love, he makes an arrangement for her to meet renowned marine expert Howard (Steve Bacic) thinking he is her next man. In the end, on the plane heading for Antarctica it turns out Howard is already married, and convinced by his plea for forgiveness and saying he loves her, Cam and Chuck have their final kiss. Also starring Lonny Ross as Joe Wexler and Case 39's Jodelle Ferland as Lila. Cook is reasonable as the male lead, Alba is rather annoying with her over-the-top accidents, but you can forgive her a little for being very fit, but for me the one who stole the show was the Stifler style antics of Fogler. There were some quite funny slapstick scenes, a forgivable amount of nudity, and a nice love story format, I guess there are some small moments where I agree with the critics' one star rating, and you can tell this is one for the blokes, but for me, not a bad romantic comedy. It was nominated the Razzie for Worst Screen Couple for Alba and Cook. Okay!

Floated2 Good Luck Chuck contains many sex scenes with a lot of crude and gross humour at times. The film is pretty bad. Its starts off okay but then it just becomes crazy and the ridiculous stories pile up. It goes downhill when Charlie (Cook) gets untrue word from Stu (Fogler) that the hex is broken meaning that he can sleep with Cam (Alba) and she wont leave him. he then becomes a huge stalker and the film turns hard into a cheesy romantic film. The film really is only worth seeing for Jessica Alba and a few scenes of topless females. In general the film just isn't funny.The story arc, which is really more of a story dot, doesn't even make sense. Why would any guy with an IQ greater than his inseam believe in a dumb curse? Since the consequences of striking out with the girl are the same as the consequences of not trying, why would Charlie spend a long section of the movie avoiding her (towards the middle to end)? And the cure for the curse turns out to have nothing to do with anything we've seen in the movie. Overall the film isn't funny and really not meant for everyone. I blame the marketing and trailers, completely misleading
