Simply Perfect

Powerful

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This film has a dumb script and I could have done without McFly (I'm not a fan. Lindsey and the other two girls are great, I could have done with seeing more of them. The daft things they make Lindsey do is an embarrassment to watch (and I'm certain for Lindsey too). Somebody get her a great script like in "Mean Girls" (please)!

Ashley Albright (Lindsay Lohan) is a lucky girl in everything. On the other hand, Jake Hardin (Chris Pine) is the completely unlucky manager of a band, and a janitor in a bowling alley. Then they kiss and their luck switches.This has some possibilities as a rom-com concept, but Lindsay Lohan is just so annoying in the beginning. This movie is about transition, and it's incredible to realize that Lohan did 'Mean Girls' just two years before. I don't know the exact point where Lohan changed from a likable sweet teen into an annoying brat. But this is a big low point in her transition. The fix is simple. She just can't be the clueless princess in the beginning. It's too on the nose, and I can't pull for her.

Just My Luck isn't that bad. I like Lohan's movies. Light, simple, Disney-like, and cute. If you want something mature, you're looking in the wrong section. This movie is for the 23 year old or younger. But adults will find the amusement in the trials of growing up for young kids today.That said, both Lohan and Pine's characters are likable. They don't do drugs, swear too often, or do indecent things. They're pretty ideal and moralistic. What's not to like about that?Their story is based on their dreams and careers. Sure, Lohan went from big office lady to a bowling janitor, but that's JUST her LUCK! Funny irony. Pine got the LUCK but does good just the way he usually does. And Lohan learns to sacrifice. What's not to like about that?The music is good. Fun and upbeat pace. I barely knew how long/short this movie was. Just flew by and I enjoyed every minute. What's not to like about that?The story is simple. Girl has all the luck. Fate played a cruel joke on her. Luck goes to the unluckiest guy. Guy does good for himself while doing good for the now-unlucky girl. They fall in love. Guy and girl learn and perform sacrifice and gives luck to a young unlucky girl. end of story, audience feels good, we go home and embrace our blessings. What's not to like about that?I enjoyed this movie so much I may pop it into my DVD quite often. it's not overly-serious or overly-moral. It's just light and uplifting. It's a good Lohan movie and a really impressive Pine movie. I'd recommend it. Just think Disney. It's all good.

normally i would cross the street to avoid watching a lindsay lohan movie as gawking aside, i don't do teenage angst/silly comedy airhead films. However, I watched the first five minutes of this and stayed the course of the movie. While as pointed out, this wont win any awards, it has its quirky moments, which were rarely funny but were well choreographed and the whole bad luck/.good luck theme and the idea it can be switched was an interesting idea that was played out well in the film. Faizon Love stole the show as the always pressed for time moneybags record producer and it helped that the band could play and are musicians in their own right. All-in-all, i wont be buying the DVD but if you're stuck on a plane flight or just need to kill 90 odd minutes, this film serves its purpose.
