Good Luck Chuck (2007)
Director: Mark Helfrich
Movie review
From Time Out New York
A childhood hex makes amoraphobic Charlie (Cook) a sexual stepping-stone whose exes get hitched as soon as they dump him. But what to do when a pratfall-prone cutie (Alba) steals his heart? Get relationship advice from Stu (Dan Fogler), Charlie’s tit-obsessed BFF and a big part of why this repellent rom-com tumbles headlong into a cesspool of irrational plot points and flaccid punch lines. Recommended for those who think edgy means watching the Tourgasm megacomic eat out the ass of a stuffed penguin.Author: Stephen Garrett
