"If there’s one actress working today who best reinforces the theories of Lauren Mulvey, it’s Jessica Alba. And she encourages the male gaze by maintaining a career centered playing eye candy, whether she’s having her skirt ripped off to expose her underwear (Good Luck Chuck), spending the majority of a film wearing a bikini (Into the Blue), playing a stripper (Sin City), being used to invoke jealousy (Meet Bill) or invoking erectile gags out of Mike Myers (The Love Guru). Perhaps someone should write a lengthy article on the myriad ways in which Alba "

"Jessica Alba may be appearing in a lot of movies these days, but I wouldn’t exactly say she’s been keeping busy. It can’t be too much work to play the role of “Eye Candy” again and again and again. This time she plays a girl who is used in exploited for a vengeful ploy by a husband (Aaron Eckhart) to invoke jealousy in his cheating wife (Elizabeth Banks). The character could have been played by any pretty face (in fact Alba replaced Lindsay Lohan in the role), but Alba seems to be the most appropriately cast, because she’s one of the hottest actresses right now and yet she seems to be easily accessible to any filmmaker who wants to employ her. Last week we looked at another movie starring Alba, The Love Guru. In that she seems to have a more disposable role — she’s not really introduced until halfway through the trailer, and even then it’s unclear what purpose her character serves other than to invoke erectile gags from Mike Myers.

"Have you ever gone to a movie and expected it to be awesome only to have it even more awesome?! Well, this film did just that. I loved it so much. Seriously. It was so hilarious. I love when actresses can actually let loose and have some fun. The only other two that I see doing anything remotely similar would be Drew Barrymore and Kate Winslet. I was so impressed by both actors in this movie. And the story was so cute. And I think there's enough humor for guys to enjoy it just as much as the girls. Yeah, there is some pretty raunchy crude humor, but if you enjoy that sort of thing then you'll love this movie. I can't even think of what to compare it to because it's nothing like I've ever seen. I've never seen a movie that constructed characters so well in a comedy. You have to stay during the credits also because the penguin sex scene almost made me pee myself. I had a giant water bottle and by the end I didn't want to leave and miss anything so I seriou ... "

"What the preview doesn't tell you (thus what I won't reveal here ... I'm a "good-boy!") is why Chuck is a serial-dater. In short, (like Dane Cook), he's a good man ... one who knows that the world owes women more than we men can ever repay.Chuck isn't exactly giving them 'his love' though, what he's giving the women is ... the reason his name is "Good Luck Chuck."Jessica Alba's in it; you've seen her and Dane Cook in the previews, so you can guess how the movie's going to end. (Sure, there's a little 'suspense' as to how they reach that ending; but it ends up exactly like you thought it would.)All-in-all, it's a good reassurement that, "If you set her free, but it's meant to be; her heart will pull her back to thee." (This is why I don't write movies: because I turn and tell you the overall meaning rather than teach it to you slow like every good movie does.)Granted, there are defini ... "

"Funny freaking movie! How can you not love seeing Jessica Alba get knocked in the face several times? Not to mention getting to stare at Dane Cook for an hour and a half. The story was amusing and the supporting actors were superb. Thank you for the gut buster. "
