Encyclopedic overview
Good Luck Chuck is a 2007 romantic comedy film directed by Mark Helfrich, written by Josh Stolberg, and starring Dane Cook and Jessica Alba. In the film, women find their "one true love" after having sex with a dentist named Chuck (Cook). Chuck meets a girl named Cam (Alba) and tries to become her true love.
Good Luck Chuck was the directorial debut of Helfrich, a long-time film editor. The film was released in theaters on September 21, 2007, by Lionsgate, and was widely panned by critics, who criticized the humor and chemistry between Cook and Alba. Despite this, it grossed $59.8 million against a $25 million budget. One of its theatrical posters parodied the well-known Rolling Stone cover photographed by Annie Leibovitz featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono in similar poses.
