幸运查克，Good Luck Chuck

Though marginally better than the repulsive Employee of the Month, Good Luck Chuck nevertheless comes off as the latest misfire from erstwhile comedian Dane Cook - as the actor has been yet again shoehorned into an eye-rollingly desperate storyline that's almost entirely devoid of real laughs. This time around Cook plays Charlie Logan, an affable dentist who discovers that he has the power to help the opposite discover their true love - with the catch being that he has to sleep with them before it can happen. Charlie, naturally, takes advantage of this gift by bedding a bevy of beauties, although - after falling for a klutzy penguin specialist (Jessica Alba's Cam) - he finds himself forced to practice abstinence for fear of losing his own soul mate. There's little doubt that Josh Stolberg's bone-headed script plays a significant role in Good Luck Chuck's ultimate failure, as the screenwriter has peppered the proceedings with an inept and uncomfortably broad sensibility that proves disastrous. The complete lack of authenticity that's been hard-wired into the film's various characters is nothing short of astounding; with few exceptions, none of these people behave in a manner that's even close to believable (ie Charlie, desperate not to lose Cam, bafflingly decides to smother her with attention). It's subsequently impossible to care about the amorous subplot between Charlie and Cam, which effective ensures that the big finale - there's a race to the airport and everything! - comes off as forced and artificial (ie the movie hasn't earned the right to employ such hoary romcom conventions). Cook is fairly charming and Alba is certainly no worse than she's been in the past, but really, Good Luck Chuck is simply a waste of time that might appeal to indiscriminating teens but few others.
