Plots(1)
When Charlie Logan was ten years old he broke the rules in a game of spin-the-bottle, refusing to lip-lock with a demented Goth girl who consequently put a hex on him. Now, 25 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 love - with the next guy after him. Before he knows it, Charlie's reputation as a 'good luck charm' has women lining up for a quickie. But a life filled with all sex and no love makes 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 must find a way to break his curse before the girl of his dreams winds up with the next guy she meets. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

In the first third, I was surprised by how much fun I was having. After that, things took a turn. The romance was amped up, and the bar was lowered for what passed as funny, which is not a good combination. It's a shame because this wasn't a typical romantic comedy (there were no students in it). If the quality hadn’t gone down after the first third, I would have added a star.

I was most entertained by the bumbling Jessica Alba, who has a disaster happen at every turn. And I actually enjoyed her a lot. Of course, this film again falls under the shadow of similar films and the script is slightly predictable, but it certainly isn’t lacking in originality. Dane Cook is an excellent actor who keeps you entertained. Jessica Alba is a beautiful girl whose grimaces are very funny. Together they succeed on all counts. And the penguins... no issues. 5 stars.
