Critics Consensus: 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.

... a variation on Freaky Friday buffed with a bit of 13 Going on 30's yuppie-career-princess gloss.
A lazy spitballing session of karmic humor, hinged on the sort of generic rom-com contrivances that keep movies like these from ending at a reasonable time.
... 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.
Very well directed, nothing unseemly, Just My Luck is a film moms can take their daughters to. They'll both love it. And... it's dry.
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.
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!
Silly rom-com, although Pine and Lohan are quite charming.
Super Reviewer
I loved this film! McFly were amazing and the storyline was different than a average chick flick!
Just My Luck, looks a interesting movie, that brings a charm by your characters and simple comedy. But show, an different side: more another one silly gags and bad screenplay with a terrible direction and teen romance. Rotten.
Ashley has led an easy life which all changes when she kisses Jake, at a masquerade ball. In the end she realizes that luck isn't everything & that she is in love with Jake. This was another adorable movie. Too bad Lindsay Lohan is all screwed up right now. Hopefully she'll turn around.
