[A Word from Trivia empire.com]
Can you name the stars of "Good Luck Chuck"? The movie may have
been forgettable, but you'll want to know the answer if you're asked
a movie
trivia question. If you're a movie buff then trivia is a
great game for you to play. If you're a Disney
fan then you should know some Disney
trivia. Did you know that Walt
Disney won a whopping 48 Oscars!
Conspicuously absent from this romantic comedy are any genuine laughs or
romance. The unfunny, uninteresting Charlie (Dane Cook) has been hexed:
every girl he sleeps with is destined to next meet her true love. When
he falls in love with Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba), he tries to break the
spell. The makers of this shameful waste of celluloid have padded their
work with fat jokes, homophobic jokes, gratuitous nudity and various
bodily functions, while harboring a fundamental hatred for women.
Moreover, the filmmakers made Alba's character a caretaker of penguins
at the aquarium, in a sleazy, desperate attempt to cash in on the recent
"penguin fever" garnered by March of the Penguins and Happy Feet.
Dan Fogler co-stars as the typical "vulgar best friend."
