Just My Luck

normally i would cross the street to avoid watching a lindsay lohan movie as gawking aside, i don't do teenage angst/silly comedy airhead films. However, I watched the first five minutes of this and stayed the course of the movie. While as pointed out, this wont win any awards, it has its quirky moments, which were rarely funny but were well choreographed and the whole bad luck/.good luck theme and the idea it can be switched was an interesting idea that was played out well in the film. Faizon Love stole the show as the always pressed for time moneybags record producer and it helped that the band could play and are musicians in their own right. All-in-all, i wont be buying the DVD but if you're stuck on a plane flight or just need to kill 90 odd minutes, this film serves its purpose.

'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.

Decent movie, 5/10 seems to be tooo harsh jeez people nit pick small little things. Good little romantic movie, story is decent definitely a one time watch.

Just My Luck is a cute movie with great acting! The story is different and has fun aspects. I enjoyed getting to see Lindsay, who was once the luckiest girl, become unlucky and learn to love it. Plus, I loved the chemistry between Chris Pine and Lindsay Lohan. And I really liked the ending. I thought it was so sweet.

Overall, a really fun movie!

I thought it was a great escape from all the negativity. I laughed and smiled at parts. Sure, it was no blockbuster! But I don't think it was meant to be... it's a kind of feel-good flick that everyone ought to see once in a while. It was very romantic!

For those people who keep claiming that it was a lousy movie need to lighten up a bit. We all need a little bit of magic once in a while and the negativity kind of brings me down. Go see the film.. enjoy it.. it's shallow but it's fun. Don't try to take any hidden meaning out of it... but enjoy the simplicity.

Oh, and by the way, this is the only Lindsay Lohan movie that I thought was any good.

A 7/10
