Why so much hype?

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

First of all, Lindsay Lohan was COMPLETERY unsuitable for the role. She still looks like the 15-year-old teen from "Mean Girls", so she's very unconvincing as someone, who's got the kind of job most people would have to study for 4 years and work for 10+ years to get promoted to.Extremely formulaic and predictable. Not one moment of spontaneity or surprise. You know how it's going to end -- before you've even started watching it.The acting wasn't very good, but you wouldn't expect much better from a generic rom-com anyway, so even that is hardly a surprise.Nothing at all original about this movie. It's composed of two elements: boring and cheesy. At times, it gets so ridiculous, it's actually a pain to watch.It's an entirely unremarkable movie -- I didn't remember ANYTHING from it the next day. I know it wasn't supposed to be a "serious" movie, but the point of rom-coms is entertainment. There was none here. It was just TOO predictable, generic, and uninspiring.Unless they're a die-hard fan of Lindsay Lohan's, I really don't think anyone would miss anything by skipping this nondescript piece of...

This really is a chick-flick movie compared to other rom-coms I have seen and is more sugary and sentimental than most, but that dosen't make it bad. Lindsay Lohan plays Ashley who is known as the luckiest woman around, but after a chance encounter with Jake played by Chris Pine she realises her fortune of luck has switched with his.This is very predictable with the outcome at the end with a cliché plot and cheesy dialogue making the film silly but the two main leads act well and are charming and cute. In terms of that you actually route for the two to get together and laugh at the silliness of it all. This is nothing special at all but I think the very low ratings are a bit harsh. All in all I enjoyed this for it's length. It was good fluffy entertainment.

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.

OH MY GOD! THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER IN MY LIFE PROBABLY! It kind of makes me want to jump off a bridge. But it is one of those movies where it just so HORRENDOUS that it is, in fact, pretty much hilarious. So, you know, if you are sitting around with your friends and looking for a reason to laugh your heads off hysterically at an absolutely AWFUL movie....THIS IS THE ONE!!!The writing in the movie is just plain BAD. It is like...way past overly-predictable. And EVERYTHING that happens passed the textbook-definition of "cheesy." All of those classic moments are there...a rich guy who literally throws away money, the classic way-beyond- chick-flick (which I generally have no problem with..but this is way over the top) story line, and a self-advertising new "band" that the movie introduces.BAD BAD BAD BAD. That is all.
