If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

As a movie enthusiast who loves film, old and new, good and bad and all genres, seeing as this was part of the "people who liked this also liked" section on another sex comedy seen recently-Bikini Spring Break just to elaborate, as part of the compulsively terrible The Asylum filmography. That film was very bad too, but was still better than Chick Magnet, which was a chore to sit through and does everything wrong. And just to say to counterpoint the disgustingly ignorant defending reviewers, some people(including myself) did see Chick Magnet with an open mind and do have a sense of humour. You may have found it funny, we didn't, let's call it different tastes and leave it at that okay? I was certainly not Chick Magnet to be a masterpiece but still wanted to see a sense of effort being put into it. Unfortunately the low-budget, especially in the very choppy editing, really shows, if that was one of two or three things wrong with Chick Magnet probably those who genuinely hated the movie(again like myself) would have been more forgiving. When they find that the movie has next to no redeeming qualities at all, forgiving wouldn't be all that easy. Moving onto the other things that Chick Magnet manages to do badly, the soundtrack is not terrible-sounding but is not used very well at all, some of it is just there and doesn't add anything or fit. The dialogue is banal stupidity of the worst kind, with some of the dialogue exchanges enough to make your jaw drop to the floor in embarrassment. The comedy just isn't there, the humour is just forced and inane and the scenes they feature in are badly stretched out- therefore it's lost- and the actors don't do anything to make the comedy come through better. Chick Magnet does have a little plot, but it is a paper thin one and paced poorly, it is also too much of an excuse to string along sex scenes, nudity and comedy. The sex element of Chick Magnet is done with little passion or involvement, very going-through-the-motions. The characters are little more than really shallow stereotypes who don't learn from their mistakes or have any sense of development. The acting is just dire from all the lead roles, apart from Josh Beren who delivers a few mild laughs that the rest of the cast don't achieve. As with a fair few sex comedies the females are attractive in looks, but their talents are not in evidence in the acting stakes. It's also ironic that the names on top of the poster and DVD cover are also those of the actors who are only in the movie for as little as 10-15 seconds and for very little reason. To conclude, really poor even when trying to judge it fairly. 1/10 Bethany Cox

It feels like some of the negative reviewers are trying to compare this movie to the multi-million dollar productions coming out of Hollywood. If that's what you're into, this movie may not be for you. I personally enjoy seeing what independent low/no budget producers can bring to the screen.Those who say it doesn't have a plot, need to learn what a plot is, it's a bit weak, but no more so that porky's or some other movie of that ilk.I think Jeff has fallen pray to his own ability to create a really strong trailer, and people are picking it up expecting something it's not.All that said, if you're looking for something with a little jiggle and some laughs though-out, you might enjoy this movie. The acting is above what I usually see in a low budget production, and the camera/sound work is way above what I would have expected. The weak points are that the plot is thin, though I don't think it's supposed to be otherwise. And the editing is a little choppy. A 200k Hollywood editor could have made a big difference there's lots for someone like that to work with in here. But that again is not what this is.My rating here is made comparing it to other low budget independents, not Hollywood. If I used those standards, no TV show could measure up either. I love oranges but once in a while I like to have an apple ;)

The low rating of this movie is because it has an uncomfortable approach to a theme and it's easy to hate (Like Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2). But wait there is more. Pretty much of the film is bad: Acting, story, characters, script and sound mix. But photography and scene illumination are the worst. You can't see the girl's faces very well sometimes but hey, you can see her boobs very close! I don't know what's the point of the romantic sub-story if girls will hate this movie after 10 minutes. It's more close to a porn film.I never stop thinking if the movie was used by movie makers as an excuse to touch beautiful girls.I only see this for the name of Owen Wilson in the poster. But if you see the credits he doesn't appear. I don't think it qualifies as a cameo either. I hope he and the other actors sue this guys for using his name and image.Recommendations: Waste you're time seeing some grass grow. It's more entertaining.

Watched Chick Magnet with my wife a few days ago and we were both pleasantly surprised. She is definitely not the raunchy comedy type, but I found her laughing aloud throughout(as was I). There is bit of nifty stylized animation here, and I found myself thinking in parts that the camera work was cool in a way I hadn't really seen before.A few may see objectification of women here, but I think most will find it more along the lines of common harmless adolescent fantasy come to life. Perhaps a few plot holes along the way, but I'll definitely check out whatever these guys do next.
