Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
elshikh4 Why this is a rare movie ? The fantastic plot. The effort behind writing all the unbroken unlucky events. The smart ideas (like kissing all the dancers..). The scenes seem perfect (the one of the art gallery was SO PERFECT !). The thrilling pace; where you ask all the time what would happen next ?! The cute and talented cast. And the colorful directing. Now to have all of these elements in an original, not a remake, recent rom-com from Hollywood is so rare indeed.The fun of it is super. Thank god that (Chris Pine) isn't just another pretty boy. (Lindsay Lohan) can't be better; especially when it comes to her choice this time away from Disney, though it looks like a Disney comedy which Disney didn't produce (At any cost it is not I Know Who Killed Me !). The thing is she still looks like a teen girl, sometimes a kido ! I wished for the young (Meg Ryan) at times. And (Faizon Love) steals the scene whenever he shows up; his performance is natural and lovable.So…what's here to bug ? Almost nothing. I say almost due to all the feces' references (as if they're put to attract certain viewers). And the love story; being so fast. It's not enough to see him half naked and to throw lather at her to be both madly in love ! However, I'm used to this case in other romantic comedies; they remember everything about comedy, making it with diligence, forgetting strengthening the romance, or making it with the same diligence ! How this didn't turn into a hit is a mystery. I'm pushed to believe that the clean, innocent, or old-fashioned entertainment for that matter, has become without-a-chance nowadays. Because when it's made by ($28,000,000) to gain only ($17,324,744), being strangely an outrageous flop, then this is more than bad luck. Anyway I guess I'm the one with the bad luck, since this kind of fun, my fun, is unsuccessful, or unneeded, in today's world !
lisafordeay I got this on DVD a few years ago and I no longer own it because I hated this film and heres why.Just my Luck is a romantic comedy about a spoilt brat named Ashley Allbright(Lindsay Lohan)who has it all a great career and a great life as she has good luck,meanwhile a nerdy guy named Jake (Chris Pine)is an out of his luck guy who dreams of becoming a music manager for McFly(who feature in this movie).So when Ashley has a masquerade bash for her career she meets Jake and they dance but when they kiss they magically swap their fortunes. Jake now has good luck as he rescued some music manager who nearly got killed as some taxi came by and he saved him and he even has a nice flat. Ashley on the other hand has the bad luck and she nearly gets electrocuted twice and she goes to jail a few times to.What I really don't like about this film is that its unrealistic and not original at all. Its like watching freaky Friday over and over again. Lindsay Lohan's movie career was on a meltdown when she starred in this silly Rom com. Chris Pine was a hottie I thought he was great eye candy.The ending to this was plain stupid I mean she cries kisses him and then they have the same luck. How stupid was that so if I kissed a guy and he had bad luck i'd get half of it.Don't waste your time or money on this crap its so boring.0 stars.
amber-248 There's something just not much fun about this movie. The music is good, probably the best part of this film. It runs like a bad episode of the first season of some TV comedy/romance from the 1980s. It's cut just like a TV show. Point, shoot and Cut. Point, shoot and Cut.The schmaltzy music over the dialog, and lame set-ups that lead to predictable action are just a pain to watch.Lindsay Lohan's Character attempts to wax the floor with a motorized waxer while wearing ridiculous high-heels. Seriously, if you're wearing a pair of $600 designer shoes, are you really going to risk getting wax on them, even if your brain can't foresee the future result of your ass hitting the ground while attempting to move the waxer across the floor while it is running? I found myself, on more than one occasion, declaring out loud "Oh my God, this is so freaking retarded." The cinematography doesn't make up for the terrible, lame script. There aren't any really beautiful shots to marvel. The editors didn't even include any shots that capture the wonder of New York.The style of filming, as though it were a T.V. show pilot, is not forgivable, considering the budget.It's a paint-by-numbers film. So awful. Artless. Souless. They made this film on auto-pilot. The writer, director, editor, actors -- all sleepwalking.
bnolan365 I watched this film expecting a really bad performance from Lindsey Lohan and thinking that McFly would be dreadful but man I was wrong!!! Lindsey Lohan performed a mighty performance one of her best I've seen in years! McFly were good better than I expected and they made me feel like they were just being real which is very good. "Just My Luck" was a great film and Lindsey's bad luck is hilarious!!! I previously read a review saying it was Oscar worthy and yeah I think it deserves some sort of nomination but no way a Razzie!!! I just think it's not extraordinarily good but it light and all will enjoy especially the young kids! So go on buy or rent "Just My Luck" for a good light blockbuster!
