63Lohan is superfluous to the qualities that elevate the film above other Clearasil comedies.
-
60Has the feel of a contemporary screwball romance, if not the crackling one-liners of classic screwball. But Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine make a charming star-crossed couple, and tweens and teens will find enough plot reversals to keep them hooked.
-
58All this might be forgivable if Just My Luck had a little more substance, but it never moves beyond the single joke of its premise.
-
50Watching Just My Luck, I wished I were a teenage girl, not for any perverse reason but because then I might have enjoyed it a lot more.
-
50It's enjoyable and profoundly unlikely to make a lasting impression on anyone.
-
50An occasionally entertaining, always fluffy teen romantic comedy with some moderately funny physical comedy by gadabout star Lindsay Lohan.
-
50It's watchable, but barely.
-
50Just My Luck is a bit of lukewarm cappuccino froth confected to float Ms. Lohan to the next stage of her career.
-
50Helmer Donald Petrie seems at times to be making the modern-day equivalent of a Doris Day comedy, setting the pic in a lacquered fantasy New York, piling on cutesy-coy dialogue and mining a fluffy premise for all manner of far-fetched cleverness.
-
50Whimsical fantasy tends to work best when its premise is used sparingly, but in this case the fantasy element takes over the story, becoming mechanical and often confused.
-
40Occasional funny moments but this is very very thin.
-
40Looking tired and sallow and drained of her customary glow, Lindsay Lohan marches grimly through this mechanical tween comedy as if it were a particularly tedious homework assignment. Which it is.
-
Presumably, this movie was designed to be a fun romp, and in that it fails.
-
38Lohan's good work in movies like "Mean Girls" and the "Freaky Friday" remake is a faint memory as she struggles through antics, unfunny pratfalls and squirmingly bad set pieces.
-
38Just my luck that I saw the trailer for the film several times and already knew all of this, which made the long-form version of the movie redundant.
-
33Even in her dullest vehicle, Lindsay Lohan exudes an unfakable shine.
-
25Just My Luck is way too long for such a slight premise, and Lohan, so appealing in Mean Girls, is years too young for the part.
-
25The picture gives us two protagonists and sets up a situation in which only one of them can have a decent life. Then, having devised this sour souffle, the screenwriters find no adjustment to make it palatable. The resolution is flip, at best.
-
25This mangy comedy only demonstrates that Lohan's star power is too bright for falling into mounds of mud, rooting around in cat litter for a contact lens, and getting punched out by a roughneck jailbird, as she does here.
-
The whole affair comes off as thin and artificial as a super model after a botox party.
-
25Just My Luck, 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.
-
20The kind of film that's too romantic for younger viewers and too redundant for young teens. For both sets, the laughs come infrequent (if at all), no thanks to Lohan giving another sub par performance.
-
No doubt this film will please the pre-teen set, but they'd be so much better off staying home and renting "Mean Girls."
-
10Stay as far away from Just My Luck as you can.
-
10In the end, I can't think of a movie that matters less than Just My Luck. It's just negligible.
-
0An appallingly unfunny and unromantic romantic comedy.
