Life of Chuck - 1.5 out of 4
I was expecting this to be all about "life", its meaning and why we are here with some bittersweet moments with characters I cared about. I went into this ready to fight back tears for 90 minutes straight.
Oh it was about "life" but only if all you've ever wanted to do in life was to DANCE but were unable because stupid work got in the way. So, this is a movie tailor made for Lock Jaw.
The first part is kinda interesting if you have no idea what you've walked into because it drops you into an end of days scenario. You should be able to figure out pretty quickly what is generally going on even if you don't get it exactly right.
Once you get that, go ahead and turn it off unless you're Destor because there's an average level dance number or two left to go. I never cared about Chuck no matter the age. Very paint by the numbers. The only reason I saw this to the end was because I was watching with my gf. At the end she said "only reason I watched untill the end was because I was watching with you." I could have saved an hour of a weekend day. Oh the humanity of it all.
