Thinking about going to the movies tonight? Looks like everyone in town is warning you against Good Luck Chuck, the Dane Cook/Jessica Alba rom-com whose plot keywords on IMDb are ... wow. Inspired by Matthew Baldwin's genius Bad Review Reviews, we present highlights from Chicago media's terrible reviews of GLC.

Scott Tobias, AV Club: "Proof that a million MySpace users can be wrong."

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: "The film is some sort of humor-deprivation experiment."

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: "Like a Farrelly brothers gross-out without the laughs."

Roger Ebert, Sun Times: "There is a word for this movie, and that word is: Ick."
