'Just My Luck' is a simple & sweet rom-com, that passes of as a pleasant one-time watch. 'Just My Luck' Synopsis: Manhattanite Ashley is known to many as the luckiest woman around. After a chance encounter with a down-and-out young man, however, she realizes that she's swapped her fortune for his.'Just My Luck' works due to its funny Screenplay & Lindsay Lohan's goofy performance. I. Marlene King & Amy B. Harris's Screenplay makes good use of its interesting premise, and many moments succeed in making you laugh. Of course, its not sharp, but for the genre it follows, its decently written. But its Lohan, who's responsible for the film's funniest bits. She's in good form, particularly in the comedic portions, not once going over-the-top. She also gets fine support from a nicely restrained Chris Pine, who manages to leave a mark, despite the fact, that this is Lohan's show. On the whole, 'Just My Luck' isn't a bad way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

First 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...

This was my first introduction to Lindsey Lohan's films. I'd heard more about her antics in the news before I'd ever seen her actual performances. It was in the bargain bin at some store I was at for a couple of dollars, so I picked up a copy.A fairly decent film. Not one that I would have wanted to pay money to see in a theatre, but given the right price, I took a chance on it.It's the story about a mildly superstitious girl from the privileged upper East Side, who, allegedly through her own perception, has had a change in fortune. There's a guy involved who seems to have found that which she lost.It was worth seeing once, and then okay to have in the background, but not really a very engaging film. Miss Lohan is a fine young actress who delivers a good comedic performance.See it once. You might like it.

I had heard about this film a couple of times, obviously mainly because of the leading actress starring, and I was interested to see why the critics gave it a low rating, from director Donald Petrie (Mystic Pizza, Miss Congeniality, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). Basically in Manhattan, New York, socialite and agency worker Ashley Albright (twice Razzie nominated Lindsay Lohan) seems to be the luckiest woman in the city (if not the world), who has success in her work, her social life and on scratch cards. Jake Hardin (Chris Pine) is completely the opposite of lucky, he is clumsy, noticed for the wrong reasons and failing to get anywhere managing his band from the UK, McFly (Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter as themselves). Their fortunes are due to change the night when they both attend a masquerade ball and in the spur of the moment, while he is masked, they share a kiss, and they seem to have switched their span of luck. So now Ashley has turned into the most unlucky woman ever, crossing paths with a black cat, smashing a mirror, dropping a hair dryer in the bath and much more disaster besides, while Jake has managed to get entrepreneur Damon Phillips (Faizon Love) to promote his band. Ashley is sure that the kiss was the cause for her sudden span of bad luck, so she is determined to find the man who kissed her and gain her original state back. She tries many guys she knows attended the ball, but kissing every one of them hasn't worked, and she she does inadvertently find Jake she doesn't have a clue he is the one, she enjoys his company. Eventually she does find out he has stolen her good luck, but knowing he is having the success he always wanted getting McFly their big break she cannot force herself to kiss him. However she does decide in a desperate move to kiss him, and of course her good luck is indeed restored so that she can gain back the good things in life, but her guilt comes back to haunt her. She shows up for the big gig McFly are putting on, and she helps Jake and the night go on with success, and in the end they form a way to both have not great luck, but maybe things will pick up for them together. Also starring Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Missi Pyle as Peggy Braden, Bree Turner as Dana, Samaire Armstrong as Maggie, Tovah Feldshuh as Madame Z, Carlos Ponce as Antonio and Makenzie Vega as Katy. Lohan is reasonably good as the spoilt and suddenly humiliated and disastrous girl, and Pine is okay as the guy she will fall for, and McFly are fun to watch and hear with songs like "Five Colours In Her Hair" and "I'll OK", there are moments where the over the top bad luck disasters are amusing, but they could be equally be irritating, so it is a slightly disappointing romantic comedy. Adequate!
