Every woman he has slept with has met and married her dream man immediately following. He is encouraged to exploit this reputation by his long time best friend, Dr. Stu Klaminsky, a sex obsessed, sex starved schlub who became a plastic surgeon just so that he could masturbate over the sight of women's breasts. Charlie doesn't want to be solely a stepping stone for women, which is how they end up treating him once he gains this reputation as a lucky charm, but rather one's true love.

Goofs

Charlie helps jump start Cam's car, and locks the keys in the car. Charlie drives her home to grab her extra pair of keys. When they return, the car is off and the remote on the extra pair of keys allows her to unlock the car. The car was left on when they left because she couldn't get back into the car. In addition, Toyotas will not work with the remote if the car is running.

User Reviews

if you turn of your mind and enjoy the raunchy comedy, you will have fun

this movie overall was a giant raunchfest but it felt to me like it had at least a little bit of heart. this story follows Charlie Logan, a dentist and his partner in crime Stu,a plastic surgeon. This story follows how Charlie had been hexxed by one of his acquaintances in Junior high, the hexx was that Charlie will never be happy and that if he has sex with somebody, that person will find their one and only right after that. Charlie finds his one and only but he is afraid of losing her because of his hexx. this story was very explicit but it had a happy ending, and it did what a comedy should do, make you laugh. if you turn of your mind and sit and enjoy, you will enjoy this movie.i rate this a 7 out of 10 because even know it wasn't meant to be this big landmark in cinematic achievement, it made me do what i like to do, sit down and ENJOY a movie.

7/10
