if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Just My Luck (2006): Dir: Donald Petrie / Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Chris Pine, Samaire Armstrong, Missi Pyle, Faizon Love: As with Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan stars in another dimwitted plot centering around magic only instead of a fortune cookie, it is a kiss this time. It is a comedy about coincidence starring lucky Lohan and unlucky Chris Pine. They meet at a party, share a kiss and suddenly he is successful and ends up promoting McFly, a band that has trusted him with little luck. Lohan loses her job, ends up in jail twice, and goes face first in art that resembles elephant dung. The magic aspect is unexplained and reduces the formula driven story to corny mishaps. Director Donald Petrie previously made The Associate and the overrated Miss Congeniality as well as the terrible My Favorite Martian. This isn't exactly moving upward in his career. Lohan is funnier than the material deserves but she is still at the mercy of lame storytelling. This is a big step down after her great comic performance in Mean Girls. Pine is also trudging in predictable idiocy. Supporting roles are flat including Samaire Armstrong as a friend of Lohan's and Missi Pyle as her boss. Despite its lack of magical explanation the film contains no magic of any kind. It could have examined superstitions but neglects so. Lohan fans expecting another Mean Girls are fresh out of luck. Score: 3 / 10

JUST MY LUCK.I watched this on the TV, and I am happy I didn't pay to see it.It was OK, but nothing special.It is a romantic comedy about a girl who always has really good luck and a guy who has really bad luck all the time, but when they kiss their luck swaps around.It has got Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine in. I am not a big Lohan fan and I have only seen Chris Pine in Star Trek. They did OK, but there were a few scenes it it where the acting was terrible. Also, the script was over the top puke at times. I know you need mushy conversations in a romantic film, but this was too much even for a romcom.There were quite a few funny moments though. It generally was a funny film. I was entertained while it was on, but I won't be watching it again.There were scenes where Lindsay had some bad luck, and the way she tries to hide it or fix it just would not happen.The director of this film also directed How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days... I liked that, but this was not great.I will give this film a 6 out of 10.I have seen a lot better.For more normal reviews, please like my Facebook page.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

This was my first introduction to Lindsey Lohan's films. I'd heard more about her antics in the news before I'd ever seen her actual performances. It was in the bargain bin at some store I was at for a couple of dollars, so I picked up a copy.A fairly decent film. Not one that I would have wanted to pay money to see in a theatre, but given the right price, I took a chance on it.It's the story about a mildly superstitious girl from the privileged upper East Side, who, allegedly through her own perception, has had a change in fortune. There's a guy involved who seems to have found that which she lost.It was worth seeing once, and then okay to have in the background, but not really a very engaging film. Miss Lohan is a fine young actress who delivers a good comedic performance.See it once. You might like it.

This really is a chick-flick movie compared to other rom-coms I have seen and is more sugary and sentimental than most, but that dosen't make it bad. Lindsay Lohan plays Ashley who is known as the luckiest woman around, but after a chance encounter with Jake played by Chris Pine she realises her fortune of luck has switched with his.This is very predictable with the outcome at the end with a cliché plot and cheesy dialogue making the film silly but the two main leads act well and are charming and cute. In terms of that you actually route for the two to get together and laugh at the silliness of it all. This is nothing special at all but I think the very low ratings are a bit harsh. All in all I enjoyed this for it's length. It was good fluffy entertainment.
