Two people discover just how true the old adage "lucky in life, unlucky in love" can be in this romantic comedy. Ashley (Lindsay Lohan) has always been the sort of girl fortune smiles upon -- she's pr... read more read more...etty, she has a great job, she had good friends, guys fall over themselves to ask her out, and she never has trouble getting a cab. Jake (Chris Pine), on the other hand, is not nearly so lucky -- he's clumsy and accident prone, things never seem to go his way, and he's just lost his job at a bowling alley. However, these two opposites meet one night at a ritzy masquerade ball, and Ashley and Jake exchange an impulsive kiss as two shooting stars cross in the sky. Suddenly, they both find their luck taking a one hundred and eighty degree turn; Jake is befriended by a wealthy musician and suddenly finds himself successful and flush with cash, while Ashley loses her job and her apartment after a major misunderstanding with the police. While Jake's luck with women has also taken a turn for the better, he's become deeply infatuated with Ashley, and tries to help her turn her life back around as he struggles to win her heart. Just My Luck also stars Samaire Armstrong, Faizon Love, and Tovah Feldshuh. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I loved this film! McFly were amazing and the storyline was different than a average chick flick!

    Just My Luck, looks a interesting movie, that brings a charm by your characters and simple comedy. But show, an different side: more another one silly gags and bad screenplay with a terrible direction and teen romance. Rotten.

    Ashley has led an easy life which all changes when she kisses Jake, at a masquerade ball. In the end she realizes that luck isn't everything & that she is in love with Jake. This was another adorable movie. Too bad Lindsay Lohan is all screwed up right now. Hopefully she'll turn ... read morearound.

    I don't care what anyone says, this movie is amazing. It's a really fun premise with two really great leads who truly have chemistry, how can you not enjoy it? I think the main reason that it's a cut above others like it is the great New York backdrop. It automatically makes your... read more movie look amazing. I really like the gimmick of luck, it reminded me of an old Howard Hawks screwball comedy.

    A cute little film, more of a chick flick then anything else, but still enjoyable. A very lucky girl meets a very unlucky guy and when they kiss there luck swaps. Pretty cool my guess made for teenagers. A clean film no nudity cussing or other junk that clogs the airways these da... read moreys. 4 stars

    Kiss will change luck? What a story.
  • April 14, 2009
    Good rom com about a girl who has all the luck and a guy who has no luck. One night they kiss and their luck changes. She loses everything and he gets everything. Can they figure out what has happened? Interweaved is the launch of a British band McFly in the US. Good cast, good m... read moreusic, good fun.

    Pretty cute movie... Why can't Lindsay go back to being that girl?
  • January 20, 2008
    It was actually, OK. Cheesey, "romantic", comedy. Although, I can't picture Lindsey Lohan as a professional. When she was wearing that white suit, she looked like a kid trying to be a grown-up.

... a variation on Freaky Friday buffed with a bit of 13 Going on 30's yuppie-career-princess gloss. Full Review

... a real piece of junk. Full Review

It's safe, competent and bland. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

From my perspective, it's watchable, but barely, and nothing I would go out of my way to locate, even if going 'out of my way' represents using a remote control to change TV channels. Full Review

Word on the street -- we're not sure which street -- has it that Just My Luck is Lindsay Lohan's final teen comedy. If so, the timing couldn't be better. Full Review

Mick LaSalle

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Lohan shows signs that she might really be an actress. Maybe a good one. But to say the least, Just My Luck is not a flattering showcase. Full Review

Carrie Rickey

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

I liked the film's idea that luck is like love -- something that diminishes when you hoard it and multiplies when you share it.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Just My Luck runs out of luck long before it runs out of film. Full Review

Lisa Rose

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

Lindsay Lohan may be all grown up in the tabloids, but her latest movie doesn't reflect any newfound maturity. Full Review

Lou Lumenick

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

An appallingly unfunny and unromantic romantic comedy starring tabloid bait Lindsay Lohan.
