A couple of days ago I posted that a majority of the people who watched Good Luck Chuck totally hated it. I went out and collected some reviews from across the net. Here is what others thought of the movie:
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times calls Good Luck Chuck “the dirty movie of the year, slimy and scummy,” adding it “layers a creaky plot device on top of countless excuses to show breasts, sometimes three at a time, and is potty-mouthed and brain-damaged.”
Pete Vonder Haar of Film Threat says the film “Veers between flaccid slapstick and mean-spirited vulgarity” and that Alba is “still cute, for now, and appears perfectly happy to let dimples and firm buttocks take the place of talent”.
A.O. Scott in the New York Times says that the movie is “a must-see for young men with a subscription to Maxim but no access to the Internet.”
Kyle Smith wrote in the New York Post that the film is “a fungal little sex comedy [that] doesn’t need a review. It needs a tube of ointment and a shot of penicillin.” .
