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.

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

Crude, vulgar and dispiriting to watch.

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.

Not too bad, too much sex and sex jokes that don’t land, but otherwise, a charming enough concept with some easy laughs

Not sure why the hate for this movie. It's worth a watch and gives a few laughs. Not anything special, but way better than many other films.

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!
