Synopsis
In this film by the seasoned romantic-comedy director Donald Petrie (HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS, MYSTIC PIZZA), Lindsay Lohan plays Ashley, a sexy New York socialite who is known to be possessed of amazing luck. Wealthy men flock to her, designer clothes fall into her lap free of charge, and she has never struggled for a moment in her life. One night, at a masquerade party, she shares a dancefloor smooch with hunky Jake (Chris Pine), a charming fellow who has lost every coin toss of his life. As they kiss, the two somehow also swap destinies, and unlucky Jake is suddenly blessed with the charmed existence Ashley abruptly finds herself without. As Ashley finds herself falling into puddles, sitting in paint, rapidly falling off the corporate ladder, and being rejected by a long line of men, Jake begins to win money, get girls, and become a successful rock music manager. Ashley's luck, of course, is not bad enough that she stays out of Jake's path and, in the end, they both manage to win that lottery of love. In JUST MY LUCK--an old-fashioned film about love and destiny--Lindsay Lohan proves yet again why she is such a movie star. Like the starlets of years past, husky-voiced, sparkle-eyed Lohan has a magnetism that makes her deliciously present on the big screen. The charming leads are supported by a colourful, quirky cast that includes ENTOURAGE star Samaire Armstrong as Ashey's cynical single pal and Broadway great Tovah Feldshuh as the fortune teller who helps our protagonist understand her reversal of fortune.

Just how lucky can one person be and just how unlucky can another person be.This film gives us the answer with lots of humour and a romantic storyline thrown in.It's packed with engaging and likeable characters and
there isn't a dull moment in it.A feelgood film that is worth seeing more than once.There are lots of bonus features including two live performances of songs by the pop group McFly and interviews with the main actors and members of the production team.

Good Film With Good Acting
I was really cynical before I watched this film, mainly because it had Lindsay Lohan in and recently she has had a lot of bad press, and the previous films she's been in haven't been that good. I was surprised how good she was, she was utterly convincing as the girl who had the world at her feet and then to find her luck had completley vanished and thus followed a series of embarassing events for her to try and get her luck back. She was convincing, she was also quite strong and had some life about her character that makes me want to care.
I haven't given this five stars simply because I think at times it had a little too much mushy romantic stuff you normally associate with American comedies...it really weakened the film and went all sloppy. A bit like a nice solid chocolate truffle that has melted into a gloopy pile. This is just my opinion, and maybe I do see things a little more cynically but I'm a British girl and that's just the way I think!.
Watch this on a night in with your friends, with chocolate truffles!
