Good Luck Chuck | 2007 | R | - 9.4.6

A man (Dane Cook) comes to the realization that he may not be able to have a long-lasting romantic relationship with anyone because of a curse placed on him by a girl with whom he refused to have sex when he was a teenager. However, all of his ex-girlfriends seem to end up finding their perfect match right after breaking up with him. Suddenly he becomes popular with women who want to date him and dump him so they can then find the man of their dreams, while he falls deeply in love with a woman (Jessica Alba) he's desperate not to lose. Also with Dan Fogler, Michelle Harrison and Ellia English. Directed by Mark Helfrich. [1:36]

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
