The Final Chuck Post

Earlier in this blog, I discussed "Good Luck, Chuck", the Dane Cook-Jessica Alba "romantic" "comedy" I was afraid I was going to watch at some point due to Jessica Alba's almost intolerable hotness. I had noticed that the movie must not have been tracking well pre-release, as the marketing did a 180 and attempted to pretend Dane Cook wasn't in the movie at all. Now that it's out, it appears to literally be the worst movie of all time.

You read that right. The worst movie of all time.


The movie scored a 3% at Rotten Tomatoes - for reference, that's HALF the score of "Gigli", often touted as the worst movie ever made. (It's not by the way - I saw it out of morbid curiosity, and it's at least an F+. Possibly even D-.) Rotten Tomatoes also has a "Cream of the Crop" list, which only compiles respected movie critics, excluding the kinds of critics who offer studio-fed lines like "An Adrenaline-Pumping Overdrive Bonanza!" as reviews in hopes of getting celebrity access. The "Cream of the Crop" results? ZERO percent. And just like that, the controversial career of Mr. Dane Cook is over.


I'm curious how Dane Cook will handle the end of his career. He might emulate Carrot Top, and continue to exist as a fringe comedian with a loyal (albeit idiotic) fan base. He could still book plenty of standup comedy gigs, and would probably have a decent life, as long as he's willing to be a complete mockery, like Carrot Top. (Who, by the way, stars in what I believe to be the worst movie ever made, 1998's "Chairman of the Board".) Of course, it's possible he'll just slink away into obscurity, never to be heard from again. I'll be happy either way, this one's a win-win.
