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.

Quotes

Cam Wexler: [about penguin behavior] When a male is sweet on a female, he searches the entire beach to find the perfect pebble to present to her. When he finally finds it, he waddles over and presents the stone by placing it at her feet. If she accepts, they'll be life-long mates.
Charlie: It's kind of like an engagement ring.

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.

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
