This film has a dumb script and I could have done without McFly (I'm not a fan. Lindsey and the other two girls are great, I could have done with seeing more of them. The daft things they make Lindsey do is an embarrassment to watch (and I'm certain for Lindsey too). Somebody get her a great script like in "Mean Girls" (please)!
... View MoreJust My Luck (2006): Dir: Donald Petrie / Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Chris Pine, Samaire Armstrong, Missi Pyle, Faizon Love: As with Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan stars in another dimwitted plot centering around magic only instead of a fortune cookie, it is a kiss this time. It is a comedy about coincidence starring lucky Lohan and unlucky Chris Pine. They meet at a party, share a kiss and suddenly he is successful and ends up promoting McFly, a band that has trusted him with little luck. Lohan loses her job, ends up in jail twice, and goes face first in art that resembles elephant dung. The magic aspect is unexplained and reduces the formula driven story to corny mishaps. Director Donald Petrie previously made The Associate and the overrated Miss Congeniality as well as the terrible My Favorite Martian. This isn't exactly moving upward in his career. Lohan is funnier than the material deserves but she is still at the mercy of lame storytelling. This is a big step down after her great comic performance in Mean Girls. Pine is also trudging in predictable idiocy. Supporting roles are flat including Samaire Armstrong as a friend of Lohan's and Missi Pyle as her boss. Despite its lack of magical explanation the film contains no magic of any kind. It could have examined superstitions but neglects so. Lohan fans expecting another Mean Girls are fresh out of luck. Score: 3 / 10
... View MoreFirst of all, Lindsay Lohan was COMPLETERY unsuitable for the role. She still looks like the 15-year-old teen from "Mean Girls", so she's very unconvincing as someone, who's got the kind of job most people would have to study for 4 years and work for 10+ years to get promoted to.Extremely formulaic and predictable. Not one moment of spontaneity or surprise. You know how it's going to end -- before you've even started watching it.The acting wasn't very good, but you wouldn't expect much better from a generic rom-com anyway, so even that is hardly a surprise.Nothing at all original about this movie. It's composed of two elements: boring and cheesy. At times, it gets so ridiculous, it's actually a pain to watch.It's an entirely unremarkable movie -- I didn't remember ANYTHING from it the next day. I know it wasn't supposed to be a "serious" movie, but the point of rom-coms is entertainment. There was none here. It was just TOO predictable, generic, and uninspiring.Unless they're a die-hard fan of Lindsay Lohan's, I really don't think anyone would miss anything by skipping this nondescript piece of...
... View MoreI watched this film expecting a really bad performance from Lindsey Lohan and thinking that McFly would be dreadful but man I was wrong!!! Lindsey Lohan performed a mighty performance one of her best I've seen in years! McFly were good better than I expected and they made me feel like they were just being real which is very good. "Just My Luck" was a great film and Lindsey's bad luck is hilarious!!! I previously read a review saying it was Oscar worthy and yeah I think it deserves some sort of nomination but no way a Razzie!!! I just think it's not extraordinarily good but it light and all will enjoy especially the young kids! So go on buy or rent "Just My Luck" for a good light blockbuster!
