Dan Ashburn is a devoted single father and renowned advice columnist. When he packs up his three daughters for a family reunion at a beach-front house, he runs into Beth, the perfect woman. She is smart, funny, gorgeous, not to mention that his entire family loves her. But there is one problem. She just happens to be his brother Lowell’s new girlfriend. Proving that the hardest advice to take is your own, Dan is forced to wake up and realize the power of that small ability that we call love.

Good Luck Chuck

Director: 
Mark Helfrich
Cast: 
Dane Cook, Jessica Alba
Running Time: 
96
Rated: 
R
I feel sorry for any R-rated romantic comedy that is released within the next year, because they will all be compared to the summer blockbuster Knocked Up, and unfortunately Good Luck Chuck is not even in the same ballpark.

Held back by a PG-13 rated script, bad casting, and ever worse acting Good Luck Chuck causes a few chuckles, but falls way short of both expectations and potential.
