"Good Luck Chuck" (Dane Cook, Jessica Alba, Rom Comedy 8.24.07)

Giantrobo · 05-09-07, 04:20 AM

To be honest, I can't stand Dane Cook and this movie looks kinda silly. But since Jessica Alba plays the female lead, and since the trailer has some sexy shots of her I posted it anyway.

Dane Cook will be sharing a stage with Gallagher and Carrot Top in Vegas within 5 years.

Dane Cook makes me sad

This movie was filmed in Vancouver and I saw Jessica Alba when they were doing a scene in a park across my place.

She spent a lot of time walking and playing with her dog during the break times between scenes. Really made me wish I was the pooch...

raven56706 · 05-09-07, 12:11 PM

you like fetching huh? thats different..

JumpCutz · 05-09-07, 01:24 PM

Dane Cook you say?

devilshalo · 05-09-07, 01:33 PM

This film has the silver spaceknight in it, too?

maingon · 05-09-07, 02:01 PM

I will see it just for Jessica Alba

Does ALba do a nude scene? I heard this was a hard-R movie.

I saw the trailer. What planet does this take place on? I can't believe this exists.

Dane Cook= UNFUNNY ASSHOLE
Jessica Alba= SEXY

One the new planet they discovered near 'Red Dwarf' not that long ago.

Dane Cook has never said anything funny. I'm sure the streak will continue with this film. Why does he keep getting cast in movies? Why?

raven56706 · 05-10-07, 09:28 AM

he said something funny.......he said "i am a great comedian"... that line had me rolling...:

I love how they have completely redone the TV marking on this movie to make it look a Jessica Alba date movie instead of a Dane Cook comedy.

I think they may have seen this coming because even the title has been realigned for the new premise. Originally it was "Good Luck Chuck" like a nickname for Chuck because he brings good luck to chicks he sleeps with. But I noticed on the TV commercials they are pronouncing it "Good Luck, Chuck", as if to say good luck dealing with this accident prone hottie.

Suprmallet · 09-16-07, 09:49 PM

Yes, I noticed that, as well. Of course, it makes sense. Jessica Alba looking hot will bring in the horny male audience. Jessica Alba being accident prone and trying to find a guy who can stand her will bring in the female audience who want to see a romantic comedy. The actual premise of the movie wasn't likely to bring in either audience.

Lionsgate has a lot riding on this movie. They've already delayed the movie from it's original August release date to September (which cost them some dollars to change all of the film's advertising material) and it's an R-rated comedy (already restricting a huge chunk of Mr. Cook's fanbase) coming out in the drybed of September in which the last time Cook released a film there, it didn't do so well (because it sucked and I actually enjoy the man's comedy). Simply put, Cook CAN'T be the straight guy and I don't know what makes Lionsgate think he can.

From the Onion AV Club:

"Good Luck Chuck truly deserves its Most Awful ranking of 19, not only because it fits all the criteria outlined above, but because in watching that trailer, you can almost hear Dane Cook's brain stretching to come up with even broader ideas for broad comedy: "What if she fell down but, like, harder?"'

In the original trailers, they showed a story in which Chuck sleeps with a girl and then the girl gets married, so all these women want to sleep with me to get hitched. He finds and falls for Alba's character and tries so hard not to sleep with her, so he can have a relationship and she can't get married.

Now the newer trailers make this out to be "guy falls for clumsy girl".

Wierd? Why would they totally switched that on us?

j123vt_99 · 09-17-07, 05:32 PM

Anyone seen an advance screening yet? Might go with a chick to see this on Friday. Normally I would probably pass, but the girl wants to see it and it has Dane Cook (who I can take or leave), Alba in at least 2 panty shots and Bob Kelly (for the O&A fans).. so I figure it can't be the worst thing ever

I believe (but can't swear to it) that they have 2 trailers/commercials running on TV right now.. Looks like the one where all the chicks want to sleep with Dane run at night on MTV, Comedy Central while the other trailer that is more family friendly runs during the day.. Like I said, I can't swear to it, but I think that is the way they are presenting this

Groucho · 09-17-07, 05:36 PM

Looks like a rip-off of that Lindsey Lohan movie Just My Luck.

JPRaup · 09-17-07, 05:44 PM

I'm going to a preview screening tomorrow. I will let you guys know how it goes.

RichC2 · 09-17-07, 07:21 PM

I liked Cook in Mr. Brooks, and he doesn't bother me (though his stand up is a bit boring, some funny bits here and there), but I also found the advertising scheme a bit weird for this. During the premier of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, they showed the full trailer during commercial breaks as well as the individual ads, you could almost make two unrelated movies out of it.

How dare you lump Gallagher with those two. Dane Cook and Carrot Top are completely unfunny. Gallagher can be pretty funny; he just never gets credit due to the Sledge-O-Matic.

thegame370 · 09-17-07, 07:46 PM

Dont understand all the hate for Dane Cook. I think he's hillarious and alot of people like him. But then again, this is a message board which are normally used to lash out at all things popular.
