This is not the worst movie of 2006 as I have heard it often cited, Little Man and Date Movie are much worse. But it is no Pan's Labyrinth or Children of Men either, nor did it need to be. Instead it is a flawed but reasonably entertaining film. It is predictable in the story yes, it runs out of ideas at the end(didn't like the freeze frame for example) and the script and characters in a sense are clichéd. However, the film does look good with striking locations and fashions and the photography is above adequate. The soundtrack is bright and breezy, the pace is snappy and there are some amusing situations. Plus the entire cast are likable and do give it their all, while she has been better(ie. Mean Girls and Freaky Friday) Lindsay Lohan is very charming. All in all, not that bad in my opinion. 6/10 Bethany Cox
This film is about a lucky young woman having her fortunes turned upside down after a kiss with an unknown man. She has to reverse her bad luck by finding the guy she kissed.
The plot is predictable, but it is very entertaining to watch. My friends and I laughed many times during the film. The bad luck Lindsay Lohan experienced is a bit outrageous, but is in fact realistic, as each individual event could really happen in our every day life! Oh and the ending about the train time board gets me laughing so hard! Apart from the refreshingly entertaining script, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the film also addresses greed and sacrifice.
I definitely recommend this film for some light hearted entertainment!

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

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!
