After an announcement by one of his ex-girlfriends as such at her wedding, Charlie gets a reputation as being a good luck charm. 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. He believes the woman of his dreams is accident-prone Cam Wexler, who works as the penguin caretaker at the aquarium.

Trivia

The song playing during the phone call montage is "I Love it When You Call" by The Feeling. The lyrics of the song continue "but you never call at all" but this doesn't fit with the theme of the montage when Cam and Chuck are constantly on the phone. Therefore, some of the lyrics are blanked out of the soundtrack, leaving several gaps.

Alternate Versions

For the R-rated theatrical release two scenes were removed from the sex collage but later reinstated in the unrated DVD version: (i) the holy lover who later meets her boyfriend and (ii) Megan Gillis who turns to be an old high school chum of Chuck who later had a sex change operation. Also the sex scenes for the redheaded and kitchen lovers were re-shot for the unrated DVD version which shows full frontal nudity. In the R-rated theatrical version they were wearing a blouse.

Good Luck Chuck -- Good Time Pass Comedy

Good Luck Chuck This movie proved exactly what i thought of it. A good one and half hour laughter, certainly for adults only, but still this movie is better than few of the last comedy flicks i have seen.

The movie is filled with those moments which seriously tickles your funny bone.I felt very light hearted after the movie and i know most of the audience with me the theater too. The movie isn't about teaching you something, no message but tries to provide entertainment where i think it hasn't disappointed me at least.

And all of the above, its a Jessica alba movie how can i leave that.

Watch movie with a open mind and try enjoy it , it won't be tough to do that.
