If there is one movie out there on the horizon that I have absolutely ZERO interest in, it’s “Good Luck Chuck”. First of all because I don’t think Dane Cook can act or is funny in the least. Secondly because despite being quite beautiful, Jessica Alba is just a couple of notches above Jessica Simpson when it comes to acting ability… and thridly, the film just looks boring and filled with recycled gags. Did the Good Luck Chuck session here at Comic Con change my thinking at all? Well… maybe just a little bit.
First thing I should mention is that they didn’t show us any footage that we haven’t seen before. As a matter of fact, then only thing they really showed was a trailer that’s been on the net for a while now… so nothing new to get us excited about at all. They also offered nothing new about the movie itself to increase my interest in it… which as I said is ZERO.
However, I should say this. Jessica Alba has always come across as being likeable. But holy crap… in person… she is more than just likable… she is down right totally charming as hell. She’s very quick witted, very gutsy, and a VERY good sport. Solid sense of humor and just gives off this aura of someone you’d love to just hang out with because she’s so cool. Even back stage, once the panel was over, she was just a complete charmer… and it comes off as so natural, that if she’s just faking it, then I have to re-evaluate my thoughts on her as an actress. I can’t help it… I LIKE Jessica Alba now (that doesn’t mean I’m much more interested in seeing Good luck Chuck though).
Dane Cook was also VERY good. He is a publicists dream face guy. I met him at the MTV Movie Awards briefly, and there is no taking away that he is a very likable guy… but it still remains that I don’t think he can act… and as charming as both these people are (honestly they really are) I’m still not at all interested in Good Luck Chuck.
