Sex and nudity in Good Luck Chuck
Strong and frequent sexual content and nudity is the main content concern (IMDb Parents Guide documents multiple topless moments, a montage of one-night stands showing breasts, buttocks and pubic hair, and simulated oral sex). Specific moments: a quick-cut montage of the protagonist with many women, a beach scene that implies oral sex, Jessica Alba briefly removing her bra, and a sex-tape gag during the credits. The sexual humor is often crude and visual rather than romantic; this is the primary reason for the R…

Mild, mostly slapstick or accidental injuries: characters slip, fall, or get a chipped tooth in a penguin exhibit; one scene shows two small scalpels sticking out of a man's back with little blood. There are a few comic physical hits (a slap, being knocked into a penguin pool) and an electrocution gag where the character is unharmed. The film's physical harm is brief and non-graphic.
Language in Good Luck Chuck
Frequent strong profanity and sexualized references throughout (IMDb Parents Guide lists multiple "F"-words and many sexual/anatomical terms). Characters use crude, explicit language in casual and heated scenes, so expect persistent adult language.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Good Luck Chuck
Mild drug and alcohol use is shown: a character smokes marijuana using a snorkel/bong gag, several characters drink heavily at parties or weddings, and there is occasional cigarette use. Substance use is presented in a comedic, casual way rather than as serious addiction.
Mature themes in Good Luck Chuck
Contains a brief but sensitive childhood sexualized incident (a 1985 spin-the-bottle scene between children) and a recurring supernatural 'hex' premise that motivates relationships; the curse leads to emotional manipulation and jealousy in Chuck's adult behavior. The film treats relationships and consent in a comedic, sometimes objectifying way (women portrayed as "luck" objects), and ends with a reconciliatory romantic resolution in Antarctica. (IMDb Parents Guide notes the childhood scene and the curse arc.)
