Critic Reviews

  • Stephen Garrett, Time Out New York

    A cesspool of irrational plot points and flaccid punch lines.

  • Mark Bourne, Film.com

    What isn't forgivable, though, is being boring, and Good Luck Chuck has all the engaging magnetism of an unflushed toilet.

  • Anna Smith, Time Out

    The script is so reliant on wish-fulfillment it forgets to add those important little touches: you know, wit, sincerity, characterisation, that kind of thing... A very cheap shot - and hardly anyone calls him 'Chuck'.

  • Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly

    Can we finally just admit that Dane Cook isn't funny?

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    This is an unoriginal, dull-witted, juvenile, crude, offensive, idiotic and pointless romantic comedy that makes no sense. None.

    I watched this? I rated it but don't remember. Obviously a forgettable movie.

    One of the best romcoms ever made! Dane Cook is amazing! He's so hilarious and Jessica Alba thrives off him. A must see!

  • Megan S


    I wasn't sure about this movie. I liked the previews but was expecting to be let down by the actual movie. It was funny, the fat sidekick guy really got on my nerves and the end was over the top in the cheesiness factor, but other than that I enjoyed it.
