Critics Consensus

A shortage of laughs and an undercurrent of mean-spiritedness undermine Good Luck Chuck, squandering a decent premise on gross-out humor and shopworn slapstick.

This movie was awesome!!! Anyone that gave it a low rating and bad review are morons!!! It was hilarious and cute and great writing with an original storyline. I own this movie and can't get enough of it! Everyone should give this movie a chance. I'm telling you that it won't disappoint!

This movie is so lovable, the 5% on the Tomatometer is utterly incomprehensible! Formulaic, silly, pointless—yes, but that's almost part of the point. No laugh-out-loud moments? A few here and there. Continual, little snorts of laughter? Sure. There's no "gross-out" humor per se, the sexual stuff isn't as ridiculous or excessive as it's made out to be, there's nary a boring moment from beginning to end, Jessica Alba is absolutely gorgeous, there's so much fun, silly stuff you need to... well, drop your left-brain IQ in a heap on the floor and grab a huge bag of popcorn and just have lots of fun!

Use the force, see past the review bombing by the dark side. It's not worth 5 stars and it doesn't deserve all of the 1 stars either; it is a solid 3.5 90s/early 00s man has tough time until he meets the right woman. There's nothing wrong with the tropes, the stereotypes, or the raunchy humor. People are too sensitive for movies.

What isn't forgivable, though, is being boring, and Good Luck Chuck has all the engaging magnetism of an unflushed toilet.

It's a poor rom-com which leaves you hoping the cute couple doesn't get it together. Despite valiant attempts to get the audience laughing again, the movie doesn't recover from turning so unexpectedly and completely sour.

We've never gotten the appeal of Cook, and this did nothing to explain it.
