 
Lionsgate has sent us the official poster for Good Luck Chuck, the new comedy starring the very unfunny Dane Cook and Jessica Alba. The movie has an interesting premiese, but the trailer didn’t contain one laugh (not a good sign for a romantic comedy). The poster seems to be inspired (or copied) from the famous Rolling Stone magazine cover featuring Yoko Ono and John Lennon. Check out the full poster and plot synopsis after the jump.
Official Plot Synopsis: It all started when Charlie Kagan was ten years old. Breaking the cardinal rules of spin-the-bottle, Charlie refused to lip-lock with a demented Goth girl – and she put a hex on him. Now, twenty-five years later, Charlie (Dane Cook) is a successful dentist…and still cursed. While his plastic surgeon best friend, Stu (Dan Fogler), pursues as many of his patients as possible, Charlie can’t seem to find the right girl. Even worse, he discovers at an ex-girlfriend’s wedding that every woman he’s ever slept with has found true love – with the next guy after him. Before he knows it, Charlie’s reputation as a “good luck charm” has women – from sexy strangers to his overweight receptionist – lining up for a quickie. But a life filled with all sex and no love has Charlie lonelier than ever – that is, until he meets Cam (Jessica Alba). An accident-prone penguin specialist, Cam is as hard-to-get as she is beautiful. But when a genuine romance develops, Charlie realizes he’s got to find a way to break his good-luck curse…before the girl of his dreams winds up with the next guy she meets.

This is a very creative poster in my opinion. From the looks of the trailer, it looks like it will be a really funny movie. I love Dane Cook (and looking at Jessica Alba), so I will keep my eye out for this.

Jessica Alba looks hot! I saw the trailer and it looks so funny! Hopefully this one could be the next Something About Mary.

Wow - Jessica Alba has the most amazing smile I have ever seen. I have a huge crush on her. I think this romcom will be the perfect way for her to show off her skills.

Unfunny? Dane Cook is hilarious and I don’t know a single individual among my friends who dislikes him.

dane cook steals material - worst thing a comic can do:

and neither of these bodies is that of jessica alba or dane cook. in fact, this is two separate photos of their heads photoshopped onto 2 model’s bodies. they weren’t even in the same studio when the photos were taken, as the light sources on their faces are coming from opposite directions.
very amateur photoshop work.

“In an interview on the Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show in February 2007, C.K. stated that while the jokes are similar, the issue was “overblown” and may stem from a backlash against Cook’s popularity.” I listened tot he clip, I still find Cook funnier. I personally think he has better delivery.

that’s nice of Louie, but the fact is, the jokes were stolen.
it doesn’t matter that you find cook’s delivery better - he stole the jokes. i personally don’t think simply screaming the punchline makes it a better delivery.
the number one rule and comedy (and the ONLY rule) is, DON’T STEAL MATERIAL.
if you take someone else’s material, and ‘deliver’ it better, you’re nothing more than an actor.

This poster is sick. The stars look really sexy. The John and Yoko ‘Stones cover is a classic and this is a hilarious take on it. Can’t wait to see the movie and laugh my ass off.

Better delivery is not “just acting,” delivery is everything. You can have the funniest joke in the world but if your timing is off or you emphasize the wrong word no one will laugh. He used material that does sound very similar, but it was not word for word. I have had conversations with my friends that came out like sketch on naming your kid. It is not that rare of a concept.

actually, WRITING is everything - if you can’t write jokes, then you really don’t need to worry about delivery, except in cases where… you steal.
the hardest thing to do in comedy is to come up with something completely original - a funny ‘take’ on something that no one else has thought of… believe me, writing is HARD. watching or listening to bill cosby or Louie C.K. and mimicking a joke they wrote is a LOT easier.
and it is acting, if you don’t write it. what do actors do? take what other’s have written, and deliver lines.
i don’t know if you’ve ever done standup, ferus, but i have. and you don’t steal jokes. it is the absolute worst thing you can do as a comic.
it doesn’t have to be word-for-word. any fair-minded person knows those jokes were stolen; so i’m not going to even get into that.

I never said it was not acting. I said it was not “JUST” acting. Writing may be difficult for you but I have known many people in my life who turn any situation into comedy on the spot. In high school or college, there is always the class clown or the guy at the party who is making people laugh. They don’t sit at home and try to think up a skit, they just do what comes naturally. I know there is a huge difference here but the point is that it takes a certain personality and you either have it or you don’t. IF you are a great writer and have the worlds best performance then you are still just a writer. In order to be a comedian you must be able to deliver the performance.

Creative?? Yes, it WAS creative…when Annie Liebowitz thought of it in 1980.
