uh... Mr. Brooks grossed $28, and Good Luck Chuck has only grossed $34. According to my math, that's $62 million for only two movies this year. Not exactly a Will Smith.
And I think the draw for Mr. Brooks was Kevin Costner with Jessica Alba being the draw for Good Luck Chuck.
There's only one OCTOBER!

If you add the numbers of his first name DANE (4+1+14+5), you get 24, which is equivalent to four 6's. He's got one more 6 than the Antichrist.
Coincidence???

He's Dennis Rodman's sidekick...need i say more?
I'm a somewhat harsh critic and I like Dane's spontaneity and exuberance. I don't see him up on the Oscars stage anytime soon (or ever), but really- this article is pretty much retarded. Get a life. Dane is fun to watch.
Yeah, seriously Kevin. How dare you have an opinion and try and bring your minions of hate-mongering ribbon wear-ers here to Film School Rejects. This is a site that has always upheld the highest standards of journalistic integrity and mass appeal. What's wrong with you, man?
I think people think it's "cool" to hate Dane Cook... and hating him makes you some sort of comedic genious. THAT is sad.
BYE.
Interestingly, both Paul and Cook are mostly enjoyed (and loudly spoken of) by the same person: the sweaty, Dorito-encrusted, fat, racist Everyman of Middle America.
Who also likes NASCAR. And eats NASCAR Russett Potatoes with NASCAR hot dogs.
Is there a NASCAR Hungry Man with Dane Cook collectible cards? I'm sure there will be soon!

As emotionally crippling as Autism? EXPLETIVE DELETED you. I am Autistic, and I cannot believe you compared someone who's comedy you don't like, to Autism which affects people profoundly. I liked Employee Of The Month and I like his stand up. Just because YOU don't like him, don't assume you can make idiotic comments like is a comedian as deadly as AIDS or Cancer. Think before you type.
Hmmmm......wow, a retarded person likes a retarded movie who wouldda thunk it.
"For one, the only people mostly I see bashing him are men. Don't be jealous 'cause hes scored roles with hot chicks"
Right I'm jealous of another pretty boy that's going to disappear faster than cake at a fat people convention.
Sorry, everyone was thinking it I just HAD to say it. Anyway, on to my argument, Dane USED to be good until he because a sell out, I love his stand up before he because what he is today. I mean even in the insomniac tour he was pretty good, but everything after that is just shit, shit, hot chick, shit, shit, hot chick.
s/your/you're/ the retard. learn some grammar punk!
As a romantic lead, he's poison. Perhaps they need to stop making him a romantic lead and try another genre. Comedy (REAL Comedy), Drama, Action, something other than romantic comedy (quickly becoming an oxymoron).
But then again, I don't think anyone could have done "Good Luck Chuck" any better. The writing was crap, Jessica Alba was equally bland (personality and character wise), and obviously the director didn't do a good job of translating the material. All exaggeration aside, bad movies are not the fault of just one person.
HE EXPLETIVE DELETED SUCKS!!
his humor is that of a two year old
and the retards that think he's funny are as stupid as him
..... "ITS LIKE THE MOVIE DUNE IN MY CHOCOLATE DRINK!"
WTF?!?!?!?!? thats not funny....... thats just EXPLETIVE DELETED EXPLETIVE DELETED
1.Telling a poorly written "remember when/wouldn't it be cool if/wasn't that awesome back in the day" joke
2.Jumping around like a retarded chimp on cocaine
3.Yelling the punch line four or five times
4.Telling a decent joke he stole
5.Repeating steps 2 and 3
6.Starting this process over again
Someday you may grow out of it .. otherwise it's the Funny Farm for you.
So making money is the only measurement of quality of entertainment!? Ah yes, this from people that voted Bush back in and knows how many times Britney Spears has a bowel movement. I weep for our future.
Dane Cook is a hack at best.
see catch phrases. see "dee tee dee". see "get er done". see "you know your a redneck if". see abc/cbs/nbc/fox etc sitcoms. see the cancilation of arrested development. see cancilation of lucky louie on hbo. see dane cook drawing more than david cross. see adam sandler last five years. see chevy chase/steve martin/ eddie murphy last twenty years. see reality shows. see redneck and dumb being en vogue. see britney. see paris.
you deserve better and dane is our own frankenstein monster. change the channel. watch an indepedent film. read a book.
he must be stopped.
**not like a real actor, more like a dulled down hilary duff.
Oh yeah, 1 more thing....go fuck yourself.
Oh yeah, 1 more thing….go fuck yourself."
Wow, congratulations Fucku, you are officially an internet 'tard. What's with the gay comebacks? Seriously, everyone else has stated their argument (or at least tried) and all you can muster up is the VERY overused "suicide" comeback and then you sign off with "go fuck yourself"? You are about as unoriginal as Dane Cook is unfunny (which in case you don't know is VERY)
In all seriousness, I think it's Cook's album "Retaliation" where he stops in the middle to yell at a member of the audience. That's a look at what real Dane Cook is, that's aways my favorite part of these comedy albums, when something unexpected happens and you see what a comedian is made of. He goes into a bit about Daddy hitting Mommy at the dinner table. It's pretty funny and off the cuff, and I give him props for that.
I know Kevin is not putting down Dane Cook's stand-up, just his film career, but I think it's a pretty thankless debate. Dane Cook is a mediocre actor sure, and yes he does steal bits from other comedians like Louis CK, but I know enough people that still f'ing LOVE this guy. I'm sure he'll go the way of the Pauly Shores of the world, just give it time. His schtick will get old (thanks to over-exposure), his movies won't improve, and once another comedian comes along to capitalize on what's popular at the moment (for Cook it was this sense of New Nostalgia) he'll be irrelevant. Time will heal this Kevin. Time will destroy Dane Cook faster than your ribbons and articles.
The real threat of Dane Cook is that he's not threat at all. I'm sure I've seen others claim this elsewhere, but Dane Cook is a success because he doesn't irritate anyone. He's so middle of the road, blah funny that no one can not like him. There are moments in his stand up that I think are brilliant and well-delivered, but for the most part it's the same old gags and punchlines. I doubt greatly that anyone would truly find his acting stellar - in the same way that Larry the Cable Guy will never feel the warm glow of true dramatic praise.
And perhaps we've hit on something there. Why do some mindless movies tank while others soar? Maybe, just maybe it's the acting. I'll give two examples:
Employee of the Month - Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson do not provide much in the way of chops. The movie tanks. The premise was not solid, but could have survived with better writing and acting.
Harold and Kumar - Kal Penn and John Cho carry the entire thing. Kal Penn has proven himself as an incredible talent outside of the stoner-comedy with The Namesake and John Cho stretched his acting into the more dramatic with Better Luck Tomorrow. This movie had an awesomely mindless premise - who really thought that a movie about two guys driving to get food would work? - and yet it is held in high regard.
So maybe for a mindless flick you need truly great talents. Belushi in Animal House, anyone?
Oh, and Dane Cook is double-plus bad. Just for the record.
You guys are truly morons.
Dane cook is a GOD!!!!!!!!!
We shall all worship upon thee, and those who dont, shall kill your fucking selves.
Douchebags.
I FUCKED YOUR MOTHER!!!!
[This Comment Edited by the Administrator. The Author basically goes on to write "FUCK YOU COCKSUCKERS" about 300 more times... You weren't missing much.]
Thats why this site is for REJECTS
cuz you all are rejects, and you're mad about Dane, and..well..hes not a reject.
i love dane cook
who cares if he yells his jokes?
they are still funny as hell
i love his jokes, and yes they do relate to life
the one joke about fights with girlfriends and such
and how you criticize every aspect of a person's directions
i mean LOL FOR GOD'S SAKE
that is hilarious
"turn right at the red house, that maroon you fucking idiot!"
you know its funny
you just want something to bitch and moan about
YAY for me
John Grimm is the MAN
lol

“turn right at the red house, that maroon you fucking idiot!â€Â

See that's the kind of comedy we have all been talking about, what does he do when he's saying "that's maroon you fucking idiot"? He SCREAMS it, because that's all he can do, make people by screaming and/or making a complete ass of himself, and that my friend is not comedy. If you want some really good comedy look up some Rodney Dangerfeild, Mitch Hedburg, or Louis C.K. Those are the guys you see all these guys now-a-days ripping off. As for wanting something to moan about, I could start a thread moaning about school or girl trouble, but I don't because it's all trivial stuff. I only replied to this because I don't want to see Dane in any more movies like Dan in Real Life, where all he's going to do is fuck it up and steal glory from REAL actors like Carrel.
I don't really dislike him, but he's not the greatest... Jealousy doesn't factor in there anywhere, as I have no desire to be famous (especially for mediocrity). Some people are just not fans of his, is that so hard to believe?
You all have no lives.
this argument is so amazing.
probably the funniest thing i have read in a long time.
people that hate dane cook, people that worship him.
he is a person.
Get over yourselves.
Alex says:Hmmmm……wow, a retarded person likes a retarded movie who wouldda thunk it.
Alex copies: “For one, the only people mostly I see bashing him are men. Don't be jealous 'cause hes scored roles with hot chicksâ€Â
Alex says: Right I'm jealous of another pretty boy that's going to disappear faster than cake at a fat people convention.
HAHAHA alex you are probably a 35 year old, single, fatt old wrinkly pair a testicles.
That masterbates to victorias secret catalogs while you bash dane cook on the internet.
Wow, you need a life.
and you need to get laid.
I am a fat guy, and I've been fat for years. Can you put me in touch with the people who run those "fat people conventions"? I want to get in on that... especially if they give out free cake.
Kevin
Everyone has the right to their own oppinion so its a choice that you make whether or not to support him. The choice is your so honestly just stop complaining and live your own life. You dont have to contribute to the money that he makes by watching the movies or going to his shows. Please stop bashing Dane Cook. He is a highly respectable man to have claimed so many devoted fans. Im just here to say Im one of the very many.
My lifes dream is to be the one person who punches dane cook in the face for no reason, just like in his "HEY I WENT TO THE DMV ID RATHER BE PUNCHED IN THE FACE" bit.
SUFI BIZNATCHES
PS SUFI UP YOUR AZZSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
love ya dane
DANE COOK SUCKS AT ACTING.
DANE COOK SUCKS AT COMEDY.
DANE COOK IS AWESOME AT STEALING MATERIAL.
DANE COOK IS AWESOME AT RUINING MOVIES.
That about sums it up.
Not true - "Still Waiting..." did wrap, but Dane was not cast. He was offered the role of Floyd but passed because he was becoming too big a start to do a sequel - he even refused to shoot a cameo appearance.
SUFI ;)
correction, 'boys', do. You guys have way too many issues and way too little
self-esteem. Get a life and laugh a little!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The result will be an even wider array of talentless, joke-stealing hacks for them market to the dumbed-down American populace who will gladly swallow every last drop of urine-flavored comedy being poured down their collective throat.
The Stop Dane Cook campaign is off to a roaring start. We had requests from 40 states, 4 Canadian provinces and two additional foreign countries.
Spread the word!
I only live like a mile away from you guys lol
its really a funny joke though. good job.
you're almost as funny as dane!
It was amazing meeting you DANE!! SUFI!
Phone number: 310-910-3985
E-mail: danecook@mac.com
You're welcome! Spread the word.
SU-FI
I'm glad that there are other people in the world who agree with me, I was just starting to think my friends and I were the only ones who hate him. Then I started wondering what was wrong with the world if people actually find him funny?
Turns out no one really likes him.
I will never see a movie that has dane cook in it no matter how good it looks because I know that he will make money off it.
He needs to get a different job, you know, one he's actually good at!
and your a really bad dad. i would hate you.
Dane Cook is not an abomination, he his simply making movies. And if you noticed, Owen Wilson is still making movies and is fine now. There is nothing wrong with him, and hollywood is hollywood. Your are a messed up person and need to seek help.
u seem like one of those guys that didnt make it in life
so u got to make other peoples lives miserable but really
they dont care they just sit back and laugh at your dumb
ass while you sit there on your computer and make yourself
look like a complete bitch. But obviously you do not have
anything better to do in your life, than to worry about a big-time
star that everyone likes and the ones that do not like him it is
because they are jelous of him and his fame and popularity...just like you!
Dane Cook is funny, get over it!
telling the world that he is a menace. Grow up. There are people out there who are
killing people because of their race and people bombing schools. WHAT HARM DOES
ONE REALLY FUNNY MAN DO?! The only way he can be harmful is if you give him the
credit to be. And that's just sad. I think Osama Bin Laden is a little more important
than Dane Cook.
You people make me sick.
this is stupid i couldn't stop laughing
it sounds like you're just a jealous little baby or something
you hate Dane Cook just because he's in movies? (movies i havn't seen because they don't look that great)
when i googled Dane Cook i saw this and i thought
oh so this is about children and the dirtyness of Dane
but no it looks like something about his movies..
i'm very confused
http://www.mtv.com/shared/media/images/artist/v...
their main and best argument? DANE COOK IS AN AWESOME COMEDIAN AND HE'S REALLY FUNNY!
Later.
