Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe movie poster for this film is a take on a famous "Rolling Stone" magazine cover of Yoko Ono and John Lennon in which John was completely naked.
- PatzerCam works with African Penguins, warm weather birds that live on the coast of South Africa and Namibia. They would not live in a habitat with fake ice.
- Zitate
Cam Wexler: Why do you want to take me out to dinner?
Charlie: You look hungry.
- Crazy CreditsAfter the end credits start, there is a scene with Stu house sitting for the couple and looking for "homemade porn." When he views it, it largely consists of Chuck pretending to perform oral sex on a stuffed penguin.
- Alternative VersionenFor the R-rated theatrical release two scenes were removed from the sex collage but later reinstated in the unrated DVD version: (i) the holy lover who later meets her boyfriend and (ii) Megan Gillis who turns to be an old high school chum of Chuck who later had a sex change operation. Also the sex scenes for the redheaded and kitchen lovers were re-shot for the unrated DVD version which shows full frontal nudity. In the R-rated theatrical version they were wearing a blouse.

I watched this film because of the sheer amount of bile that it had had piled onto it made me curious to see what it was about this film that justified it. Watching it for myself I have to confess as to being a bit mystified as to why this film was so slated because really it is no worse in regards laughs or taste that loads of other basic comedies that rely heavily on goofy sexual comedy and a weak plot to appeal to an audience of teenage boys. That is not to say that the film is any good though, because it isn't by any means, just that it is not the end of the world as we know it. Instead it is a mildly amusing film that is built on a poor idea, dumb plot and has some moments that are a matter of gross-out style comedy. As such it does the absolute basics and produced the odd chuckle from me along the way but no doubt it was not a "comedy" as I would like to think of it.
The script is poor but the film is helped a lot more than it deserves by a couple of good(ish) performances. I know may people hate him but, while I don't particularly like Cook, he does have a certain charm to him when he gets the right pitch from his material. He does play it too cocky too often (but then he has kissed Alba) but he is still a decent enough person for this type of thing. Alba deserves a lot better than this maybe not for her actual talent but certainly for her current fame, it does her career no good to be in the sort of thing that sort pretty rising starlet should be getting. As it is her character is thankless and it is, as usual, her looks and girly giggle/wiggle that carries her through it. Having just seen him in Balls of Fury, I quite liked seeing Fogler again a simple character to provide crude laughs but he plays it well.
I am being kind to this film, maybe to offset some of the kicking it has gotten but please remember that Good Luck Chuck is not any good. A few chuckles are all the casual viewer will get while they suffer the constant nudity and crudity that is aimed at children and no matter how much the cast work it, there simply isn't the material there to work with. Not the end of the world then just another banal, sub-par comedy.
