Good Luck Chuck'

Runtime: 99min 25secs
Tagline: Sometimes love blows.
Directed by: Mark Helfrich
Screenplay by: Josh Stolberg

Plot Outline:
Based on a ahort story by Steve Glenn, it's the story of a young man named Charlie Logan a.k.a Luck Charm Chuck (Dane Cook), as a young child, a woman scorned left him with a curse. Love shall rain all around him but will never be his. Since the curse as made him wildly popular with single women: "Sleep with Charlie once, and the next man you meet will be your true love", little did he know how true this was, until he finds the one he wants to keep (Jessica Alba).

Overall Impressions:
It's a silly little film just as the synopsis suggests. The thing with silly little films is they need to entertain. This one does but only in parts. It has the feel of something like Super Bad or Knocked Up, but frankly lacks the laugh a minute punch that's really needed for it to work (the mentioned are far superior films). Don't get me wrong, it has a number of moments, but some parts are just plain weird, (even for me) and so, as a whole it's just not upto the bar that it's trying to reach.

Watchable, also Passable. Mweh.
