GOOD LUCK CHUCK

Cast: Dane Cook, Jessica Alba, Jodelle Ferland, Dan Fogler, Georgia Craig

Synopsis: It all started when Charlie Logan (Cook) was 10 years old. Breaking the cardinal rules of spin-the-bottle, Charlie refused to lip-lock with a demented Goth girl, so she put a hex on him. Now, 25 years later, Charlie is a successful dentist who’s still cursed. While his plastic surgeon best friend, Stu (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 lining up for a quickie. However, a life filled with all sex and no love has Charlie lonelier than ever until he meets Cam (Alba). An accident-prone penguin specialist, Cam is as hard-to-get as she is beautiful. When a genuine romance develops between the two, 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.

WEDDING DAZE

So when, on a whim, he proposes to a vivacious stranger (Wedding Crasher's Isla Fisher), there's only one problem--she says yes! What follows is nothing short of outright insanity as there are disapproving parents, neurotic friends and an ill-advised prison break to deal with before the big day arrives--if it ever does!
