Python Hyena Just My Luck (2006): Dir: Donald Petrie / Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Chris Pine, Samaire Armstrong, Missi Pyle, Faizon Love: As with Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan stars in another dimwitted plot centering around magic only instead of a fortune cookie, it is a kiss this time. It is a comedy about coincidence starring lucky Lohan and unlucky Chris Pine. They meet at a party, share a kiss and suddenly he is successful and ends up promoting McFly, a band that has trusted him with little luck. Lohan loses her job, ends up in jail twice, and goes face first in art that resembles elephant dung. The magic aspect is unexplained and reduces the formula driven story to corny mishaps. Director Donald Petrie previously made The Associate and the overrated Miss Congeniality as well as the terrible My Favorite Martian. This isn't exactly moving upward in his career. Lohan is funnier than the material deserves but she is still at the mercy of lame storytelling. This is a big step down after her great comic performance in Mean Girls. Pine is also trudging in predictable idiocy. Supporting roles are flat including Samaire Armstrong as a friend of Lohan's and Missi Pyle as her boss. Despite its lack of magical explanation the film contains no magic of any kind. It could have examined superstitions but neglects so. Lohan fans expecting another Mean Girls are fresh out of luck. Score: 3 / 10

badajoz-1 As usual, a US movie that is a romcom, but really is about REDEMPTION - and Lindsay Lohan at that! Plot shows a couple obviously meant for each other (Lindsay Lohan and a very young Chris Pine) - one has lots of luck and the other has none - who exchange their fortunes when they kiss. Cue 'Sex and the City' braindead clotheshorse finds herself in jail, getting splattered with rain and mud etc while male discovers new pop group - 'McFly.' There are some good sight gags but audio is poor as actors gabble, and the situation goes from cliché to cliché. unfortunately Lohan is neither sexy/pretty enough or a good enough actress to carry this fluff, but Pine shows a good flair for comedy, which has not been properly exploited yet - oh, and hasn't he buffed up since this was made!

teddygeigerfanatic This is a great movie that doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Its helped the world recognize the talented lads McFly but also show the ups and downs of luck :)Nine outta ten for Me! (theres always room to improve :))Ooh btw i dunno if its a spoiler or not but in da trivia thing :Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene when Jake first goes to the bowling alley to hear McFly rehearse, McFly and Jake talk about giving the CD to Phillips. After Jake goes to clean the toilet McFly resume their song. Danny's voice can be heard singing harmony with Tom, but he is nowhere near his microphone in the shot.its actually Dougie (Poynter) harmonising with Tom. Just clearing things up!

insomniac_rod Well you can't expect something interesting with a movie with a cover like that! Seriously...Now, as a movie oriented for teens who enjoy pink toned stories, it isn't that bad. I had the chance to watch this while traveling so I didn't have many options to decide whether to watch it or not.The plot is simple and easy to follow and I won't get into details because I think the summary on IMDb is very clear.There are some things that I didn't think were real enough or enough to give young people a message. For example, Lohan's character lives on an expensive apartment and dresses with expensive clothing while his job is not that "important". I guess that her hotness raises her salary. And I'm thrilled to see how important she is for her boss and the staff.Anyways, the movie has a decent climax on a dance and things get fixed over there. Overall it's a mildly entertaining movie exclusively for Lohan's fans or teenagers who want a fresh but clichéd comedy.I was a neutral viewer so I can't say I didn't like or dislike it. Anyways I decided to give it a try and I can only say that it's a movie you should only watch if it airs on cable very, very late.
