GOOD LUCK CHUCK
- Mitzi J. Johnson



Hello, there my good, good friends. I am writing you from SWITZERLAND! Gee, I love it here. The water is great, as are the mountains and cows. I wish I could stay here for three more weeks. I can't. Okay, so this next film is supposed to be a comedy. When I think of "comedy" I think funny, right? Well, I think it best if I just move on with this review in a professional manner.

WHY? Is the question I would like to ask the producers of this film. WHY on earth would you wanna spend millions of dollars to create something like this? I almost vomited three times and this is not a horror-y gross slasher film 'bout rabies infected hippie ZOMBIES. (Please see I DRINK YOUR BLOOD for more info). This is supposed to make me laugh, not hurl, ya know? So, you have JESSICA ALBA(FANTASTIC FOUR) as a PENGUIN trainer and she meets Chuck played by DANE COOK(EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH), who is lucky with the ladies but can't find true love. Okay, so it seems like your typical romantic comedy. Boy meets girl and there are some problems and all that and then love overcomes all and they hook up. Right? Simple. The prob I had with this was that they took the mating rituals of PENGUINS and humans and mixed them together!! GROSS! If some guy came onto me like a PENGUIN, I am sorry, but he would be dust. So, frankly it is hard to believe that someone like JESSICA ALBA would fall for a creepy guy like him. His friend is even creepier. There were a few laughable moments and you wanted it to get better, but it never did. All I can say is: PLEASE DO NOT TAKE DATING TIPS FROM PENGUINS!!!!

Yours always,

Mitzi
