I could write a decent-sized collegiate dissertation on just how bad the plot is, but I’ll spare you. She calls him the “good luck charm” and soon dozens of women start lining up to whore themselves out in the hopes of finding their true love soon after. Now an adult, Charlie (Cook) only becomes aware of this fact at a wedding ceremony for one of his old mates. The gist: whomever sleeps with Charlie will find the love of her life soon after. Charlie winds up with the goth (Sasha Pieterse) and refuses to make out with her, so she puts a hex on him. That the film even tries to be heartfelt is egregious in itself, but “good luck” finding it among the horrendously executed slapstick, equally disastrous gross-out humor, blatant racism, homophobia, and scorn for everyone else (the overweight, the elderly, etc.).Īs the film opens, young Charlie Logan (Connor Price) is playing a game of spin the bottle with his buddies and a group of girls. The film is like the manifestation of every horrible cliché that has plagued the ill-fated genre of the romantic comedy. Having had braces, three tooth extractions, three bone graphs, and three dental implants, I can say with relative ease that none of that was as painful as watching this pathetic waste of celluloid. Dane Cook plays a dentist in Good Luck Chuck, but the movie plays that part straight.
