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!

Seriously people, I thought that this was an honest, funny, and cute movie. The plot is a bit lame, of course, I mean what were you expecting from a Lindsay Lohan movie? But still, I thought that it was just a fun little flick to watch. I loved having fun with my friends when we watched it because we were coming up with ideas on how Lindsay and this guy could still be together and how they'd have to have a chart and take turns with the luck.
Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. But as a movie, yeah, it was a little lame. There were still a lot of funny and cute scenes, like when Lindsay looses her luck and she has to work as a janitor at her crush's old job. Her working in the high heels was so funny. I guess because I'm a girl and could relate to it. So, give this movie a chance, it really isn't that bad. If you are looking for it to be bad, than don't watch it.
5/10

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
'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.

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!
