This movie is less about the two main characters falling in love and more about exploring the equilibrium of good will in the universe. It's a mystical fantasy about how each decision we make matters and the differing paths life can take.

The real rot is in the script.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 1, 2006

Make your own luck and skip this twaddle.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 1, 2006

Occasional funny moments but this is very very thin.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 30, 2006

... a variation on Freaky Friday buffed with a bit of 13 Going on 30's yuppie-career-princess gloss.

| Original Score: D+ | May 20, 2006

The shallowness of female pop culture that Holofcener courageously tears down is just the thing Just My Luck successfully re-perpetuate.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 17, 2006

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.

Full Review | May 16, 2006

It's safe, competent and bland.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 13, 2006

The stars work overtime but it's all for naught, the movie as completely forgettable as the lackluster trailers have hinted for months.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 12, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 12, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 12, 2006

Lohan shows signs that she might really be an actress. Maybe a good one. But to say the least, Just My Luck is not a flattering showcase.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 12, 2006

I liked the film's idea that luck is like love -- something that diminishes when you hoard it and multiplies when you share it.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 12, 2006

An appallingly unfunny and unromantic romantic comedy starring tabloid bait Lindsay Lohan.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | May 12, 2006

The new Lindsay Lohan romantic comedy, Just My Luck, needs more than just luck to overcome an achingly stupid script. It needs a miracle.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 12, 2006

Just my luck that the movie is directed by Donald Petrie, who made the a similar Manhattan-set How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, though this time it's vaguely crossed with the magic plot of 13 Going on 30.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 12, 2006

In the end, Just My Luck is light, fluffy and as quickly forgettable as a tossed-aside horoscope.

| Original Score: C | May 12, 2006

The screenplay for Just My Luck is credited to five writers, all of whom relied on their DVD collections for inspiration.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 12, 2006

Just My Luck is a safe teen movie that teens will actually like, and there are far worse things than that.
