Just My Luck

Critics Consensus

Just My Luck asks little of its leads and less of its audience, adding up to a middling teen rom-com that sorely lacks sparks.

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 alley. However, these two opposites meet one night at a ritzy masquerade ball, and Ashley and Jake exchange an impulsive kiss as two shooting stars cross in the sky. Suddenly, they both find their luck taking a one hundred and eighty degree turn; Jake is befriended by a wealthy musician and suddenly finds himself successful and flush with cash, while Ashley loses her job and her apartment after a major misunderstanding with the police. While Jake's luck with women has also taken a turn for the better, he's become deeply infatuated with Ashley, and tries to help her turn her life back around as he struggles to win her heart. Just My Luck also stars Samaire Armstrong, Faizon Love, and Tovah Feldshuh.

Audience Reviews for Just My Luck

  • Dec 09, 2011
    Bad, is a bit borring
    Rodrigo R Super Reviewer
  • Dec 09, 2011
    This so called romantic comedy was directed by very insecure Donald Petrie... and as much as I love Lindsay Lohan under Petrie's guidance she manages to give, probably, her worst performance! For Chris Pine I won't lose any words... he has no character at all... and ability to act is not really something you'll remember him for. The story about Ashley, the luckiest girl in Manhattan, and her life after she loses her luck to a real looser Jake is not a new one... as well as the boredom it entice! Stay away from this "art-work" which confuses misfortune with plain stupidity!
    Panta O Super Reviewer
  • Jul 20, 2011
    Interesting Idea that could be further developed
    Sylvester K Super Reviewer
  • Jul 07, 2011
    A seemingly interesting plot on paper, yet too cut copy and paste of Lohan's overused and dried out charm
