Good Luck Chuck R

It all started when Charlie Kagan was 10 years old. Breaking the cardinal rules of spin-the-bottle, Charlie refused to lip-lock with a demented Goth girl--and she put a hex on him. Now, 25 years later, Charlie is a successful dentist... and still cursed. While his plastic surgeon best friend, Stu, 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--from sexy strangers to his overweight receptionist--lining up for a quickie. But a life filled with all sex and no love has Charlie lonelier than ever--that is, until he meets Cam. An accident-prone penguin specialist, Cam is as hard-to-get as she is beautiful. But when a genuine romance develops, 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.

Sydney White PG-13

The film is set among students in their freshman year of college in the Greek system. Rachel rules the Kappa Phi Sorority, she's the reigning #1 hottie on UPAC's "hot or not" website, she is used to being the fairest of them all and her sorority sisters are more like servants than friends. She judges pledges based on the blondeness of their hair, their family's net worth and their political connections, so it drives her insane when Sydney White (Amanda Bynes), the daughter of a plumber (and a brunette, no less), challenges Rachel's status on campus and steals Rachel's would-be boyfriend Blaine, the President of the Tri Omega Fraternity, away from her.
