	"Just My Luck" (2006) / review and/or viewer comments - Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		That said, “Just My Luck' is the story of Ashley Albright (cheerful but wasted performance by Lindsay Lohan), a bright and perky girl who’s just out of college and working at a celebrity-centered New York public-relations firm.
		Anyway, as luck would have it (smile #2) Jake just happens to meet up and has a dance with Ashley at a high-octane party she has lavished-out for her boss.
		Just My Luck is a flimsy, formulaic film who’s few saving graces include a drool-worthy wardrobe and a few slapstick giggles that Lindsay is so perfect at..If only her publicity people had spent a fraction of the energy they put out propelling her into the adult world of “dish” and instead finding Ms.

	'Just My Luck' - Lindsay Lohan's character goes through lots of pain, and so does the audience - Zap2it
		Her latest film is just another teen flick with a paper-thin plot, forgettable characters, trendy fashions, pratfalls and very few genuine laughs.
		The problem is, most of it isn't funny, just painful or gross, like when she drops a contact lens in kitty litter, wears it anyway and is forced to wear an eye patch later when infection sets in.
		Even the band's real-life album is called "Just My Luck." It's the sort of packaging that you'd expect from a made for TV movie, not a studio film.

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: JUST MY LUCK
		Suddenly, all of her luck is transferred to him, he ends up saving the mogul's life, and Ashley loses her job when the party takes an unexpected turn for the worse.
		A song has the female singer's repeated references to "my goodies" and there's a mention of "sexy" in the lyrics (there are other lyrics, but they're in the background under character dialogue and thus couldn't be heard in full).
		Later, and in a semi-private area of a club (isolated by a partially see-thru curtain), Antonio nuzzles on her neck, she rips open the top of his shirt (we don't see anything) and pushes him down to some furniture and then gets on top of him (both are clothed and we don't see anything else).

	Lohan and Co. on Just My Luck - ComingSoon.net
		Next up for Lindsay is the romantic comedy Just My Luck, in which she plays Ashley Albright, the luckiest woman in New York City who shares a kiss with Jake (Chris Pine), the unluckiest guy in town.
		My character is such a schlub at the beginning.
		I walked up to you and I picked it up and ate it, just to show her that the kitty litter was, the litter itself was Grape Nuts and the kitty litter was Tootsie Rolls.

	Review: Just My Luck - Cinematical (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		As Just My Luck opens, we meet Ashley Albright (Lindsay Lohan), and never has a girl been more aptly named: Everything is all bright for Ashley, who seems to be blessed by good fortune.
		My first reaction to Just My Luck's premise was to rent Intacto again, a moody 2001 Spanish urban-magical-realist parable about a secret society of gamblers who understand that for some people, luck is physical; you can build it like a muscle, steal it like a wallet, take it with a touch.
		Just My Luck is junk food cinema, the kind of comedy that offers a sugar rush of charm and no nutrition.

		It's bad enough that her new romantic comedy, "Just My Luck," was barely screened in time for critics to review it before opening day.
		That's why it's such a disappointment that her first grown-up role is essentially a remake of "Freaky Friday," the remake of which made her a star in 2003.
		"Just My Luck" is the worst kind of comedy -- one that assumes the audience can't think for itself, and therefore feels the need to punctuate each sight gag with obnoxiously jaunty music.

	Just My Luck
		Just My Luck's humor relies on sophomoric gags involving two (almost three) electrocutions, poop jokes and an overflowing washing machine.
		If you don't mind the second-run story, Just My Luck is an innocuous Saturday afternoon time-passer for teens and fans who worship at the Lohan shrine.
		It's the last of her family-friendly pictures before she embarks on her journey to be an indie-film star, and it's too bad there wasn't a four-leaf clover around to make Just My Luck more memorable.

	Just My Luck (2006): Lindsay Lohan, Chris Pine, Samaire Armstrong, Faizon Love - PopMatters Film Review
		In fact, for the first part of Just My Luck, Ashley is the luckiest girl in the world, indicated repeatedly in the least imaginative ways possible.
		Meanwhile, as she tries to figure out what hit her, Ashley is beset by dramatically bad luck: her high heel breaks, her apartment floods, she's arrested for pimping, because she doesn't know that her neighbor, whom she asks to be Peggy's date at the party, is in fact a male prostitute.
		The greatest mystery of Just My Luck is that it so badly uses Lohan, who can be charming and, as she showed with Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday, an adept physical comedian.

	Top Box Office Movies - Just My Luck
		The generically entitled Just My Luck is a frustratingly flaccid romantic comedy starring mischievous media magnet Lindsay Lohan.
		As a romantic fantasy, Just My Luck could have been something more beyond a toothless gimmicky diversion where wacky silly-minded stunts are in place of genuine affectionate pathos.
		Just My Luck loses its way when the notion of love through quirky happenstance is clouded by countless miscellaneous madcap moments that nauseate more than they generate decent chuckles.

	Just My Luck \| The A.V. Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		And on and on goes Just 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.
		In order to find the man behind the mask and get her luck back, Lohan scours the city for every hired dancer at the party and kisses them all, one by one.
		Just My Luck seems intended as a transitional film from the silly girl-friendly comedies of Lohan's adolescence to the career-Barbie comedies of young adulthood.

		As disposable as a broken mirror, "Just My Luck" plays like a focus-group compilation of everything a 12-year-old girl could want in a Lindsay Lohan movie -- boy-band soundtrack and super-chic wardrobe, plus a leading lady who, against considerable odds, emerges with her charm and dignity mostly intact.
		Slick bubble-gum fantasy about the supernatural transfer of luck between two romantic hopefuls couldn't be more effectively tweener-targeted, ensuring steady adolescent biz and possibly even luckier numbers on homevid.
		Her accursed opposite is an accident-prone young man named Jake (Chris Pine, unconvincing as a bespectacled dweeb), who supplements his dead-end job trying to manage a band (real-life Brit boy group McFly, for whom "Just My Luck" serves as an exceedingly blatant piece of advertising).

	Just My Luck (2006) - Hollywood Jesus Movie Overview
		As Ashley desperately races to regain the luck she blithely took for granted, she begins to see that it’s not so much having good luck but what you do with it that counts, and that her greatest chance of redemption lies with the guy who holds the key to her sudden change of fate.
		At the same time, Jake Hardin (Chris Pine) is just trying to climb out of his janitorial job with all the effort he can muster, but to no avail.

		But when she kisses a cute guy at a masquerade ball, her luck vanishes--because the guy is a total loser named Jake (Chris Pine, The Princess Diaries 2) whose collapsing life desperately needs a little luck.
		Just My Luck isn't as creative with this whimsical premise as it could be, but there are amusing moments as the movie wends its way to the inevitable happy conclusion.
		Lindsay Lohan is beautiful and funny and adorable and I thought this movie was just as funny as her previous films "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls." And she and Chris Pine have chemisty together.

	IGN: Just My Luck Review
		While there are some genuinely witty sequences in Just My Luck, the film ultimately suffers from the same problem that bedevil so many other entries in the romantic comedy genre: it just isn't that funny.
		Despite her penchant for ending up as tabloid fodder, there is something charming and watchable about Lohan onscreen, a brightness and savvy that bodes well for her career if she can manage not to derail it.
		Just My Luck should accomplish what Lohan's camp undoubtedly hopes it will: to convince audiences that she can carry a movie that's not just for teenagers.

		And through the guidance of her generous friends Maggie and Dana (who invite her to live in their tiny apartment after she loses hers), she begins to discover what it means to sacrifice for someone else's needs.
		Here, not only is luck an onscreen commodity that seems randomly distributed by an unseen force called fate, but the film presents fate as something people can gain knowledge of via the occult.
		Next, Just My Luck offers a great example of why a grain of salt should always be applied when reading why the MPAA decided upon a particular rating.

		Few romantic heroines could be as annoyingly smug as Ashley who's had everything handed to her on a silver platter.
		That's until she crosses paths with hard-luck hunk Jake (Chris Pine), but director Donald Petrie takes such a meandering approach to a predictable story that by this stage destiny will be pointing you to the exit.
		For Ashley, misfortune means falling over in a spot of mud, a mild electric shock and being nursed back to health by the love of her life.

		This isn't even the kind of bad movie that you can enjoy watching for the humor of how bad it is. Those are the movies with amateur actors or plots that don't make sense because they ran out of money half way through.

		Just My Luck has the feel of a film that, in some earlier manifestation, might have been a fun Tom Hanks / Meg Ryan type romantic comedy.

		Just My Luck features Lohan in her first ''adult'' role, but it's really a piece of teenybopper junk, a variation on Freaky Friday buffed with a bit of 13 Going on 30's yuppie-career-princess gloss.
