Good Luck Chuck - ABORT ABORT ABORT
March 24th 2008 23:34
I saw this DVD the other day and to be honest I haven't watched a worse film in quite a while. What is with Hollywood releasing pieces of shit with good actors to make the general movie-going public think it will be good? Oh they've been doing it since forever and people STILL fall for such tripe as this.
Seriously, this movie sucks balls and blows chunks at the same time. The new fad is to give the characters (I use this word very nervously as they are the most 1D pieces of emotionless cardboard ever) interesting occupations so as to make them more interesting: Alba is a penguin fanatic and works at some kind of penguin theme park (kind of, don't really care about researching this) and the love interest is this hot dentist (youngest dentist I ever saw). He looks about 27 and already owns his own upscale dentist clinic *cough*bullshit*cough*.
The storyline is is that the guy (don't care to find out his name either) has the curse where the woman he sleeps with will find her soulmate straight after they've done the deed. Sleep with this guy and you will find the man you're going to marry the next day. What a FANTASTIC concept for a film. This happened to me personally with two girls (no joke) but never did I think what a great and better yet, hilarious film could be made from this!
Only one smile was registered when watching this film and that was when Alba was busted in her panties in an otherwise dire scene. Even the montage of the 50 or so women he sleeps with when realising the 'secret' he has gets out bored me to death. Studio execs take note: having (dozens of) graphic sex scenes in a film to appear 'edgy' and gain the attention of horny teenagers who want nothing more than an excuse to batt off DO NOT maketh a quality film. If I want to watch a guy bang 12 broads I'll hire a porno.
This movie is also another example of whats wrong with screenplay writers nowadays, they forget the most important element of storytelling: the STORY. There is barely anything here strong enough to warrant the excuse of a story being told. The emphasis on movies is to have a collection of funny/cool/exciting scenes rather than a whole story and unfortunately so many people out there are buying into it. This is just a collection of scenes that doesn't even warrant being labeled as 'funny'. I was cringeing at their lame excuses for jokes, hell I wanted to punch the 'best mate' character in the back of a head for being such a soulless twit who refused to accept he wasn't funny (not that everyone else in the film wasn't guilty of this).
I could go on with this for longer but I think I've made my message quite clear. Just doing my bit to stop this film getting any more possible revenue.
