Just My Luck (2006)
Average Rating: 3.7/10
Reviews Counted: 108
Fresh: 14 | Rotten: 94
Just My Luck is a screwball rom-com that fails to take advantage of Lindsay Lohan's considerable charm. The film (along with Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion) marks the end of Lohan's teen queen phase as she begins playing characters that are older, but not necessarily wiser. Lohan's character is supposedly cursed with bad luck, though the movie confuses misfortune with plain stupidity, leading Lohan into a long series of silly and senseless physical gags.

Movie Info
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 pretty, 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

... a variation on Freaky Friday buffed with a bit of 13 Going on 30's yuppie-career-princess gloss.
Top Critic... a real piece of junk.
It's safe, competent and bland.
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.
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.
If Just My Luck was intended to showcase a more grown-up Lohan (she'll soon be 20), it fails -- but it gives hints of the fine screwball comedian she's already becoming.
Uneven Lindsay Lohan comedy; older tweens and up.
even if it offers Lohan her first role as a grown-up, places her in a corporate New York, and contrives a scene in which she gets to wear a dress owned by Sarah Jessica Parker, the sex in this city never seems to get beyond first base.
The film can barely breathe beneath the non-stop barrage of low-comedy shtick.
A drab, uninteresting mess... displaying the starlet as it does in a seemingly distracted and too frequently puffy-eyed light.
One day Lohan will make movies for grown-ups, but this movie certainly isn't one of them.
Is this movie actively hoping people will hate it for being so stupid?
OMG! It's The Passion of the Lohan!
Entretenida parábola de que la vida puede ser tan blanca o negra como nosotros mismos queramos hacerla. Si no se ve con esta idea en mente, mejor evítela.
It's very difficult not to get on board with this quirky comedy.
The real rot is in the script.
Make your own luck and skip this twaddle.
Despite the Manhattan dating scene stuff, the PG certificate means there's not much sex in this city, but more than enough raunchy undertones to keep teenage girls happy.
Occasional funny moments but this is very very thin.
