As the luckiest woman in the world, Ashley (Lindsay Lohan) has a wonderful life, which all changes after she kisses a stranger (Chris Pine) at a costume party. She sees everything turn into a living hell, as she realizes that she has unwittingly exchanged her good fortune for the stranger's bad luck.

Critics Consensus

Just My Luck asks little of its leads and less of its audience, adding up to a middling teen rom-com that sorely lacks sparks.

Brianna Wellen

Chicago Reader

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.

...a mostly watchable yet thoroughly forgettable romcom that benefits from its brisk pace and affable performances...

Very well directed, nothing unseemly, Just My Luck is a film moms can take their daughters to. They'll both love it. And... it's dry.

Tbh the critics reviews for "Just My Luck" is rather harsh. It's your typical rom-com with a silly and intriguing enough premise of someone with all of the luck vs. someone who doesn't + the exchange of these qualities & how they affect their daily life. The movie mainly works due to the charming and easy going leads who make us care and root for them getting together. There is nothing different really with this rom-com for others, but it's serviceable for an easy watch on the couch.

This is a very interesting movie starring young people. If there were lucky and unlucky people, it would be like that. It is a comedy youth film. The director did a great job of capturing the scene where they are at the party.

'Just My Luck' runs a little thin, but it narrowly did enough for me to enjoy it. Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine don't, in my opinion, share as much onscreen chemistry as is generally needed for a romcom, though they are both likeable and produce solid enough performances that I was happy to watch them act throughout. It's amusing seeing McFly - a very good band, back then at least - billed as "Introducing..." given UK audiences would've 100% known who they were at the time of release. The movie does get a bit repetitive as the plot is, as noted, extremely simple, but again there's just about enough in there that I had a positive time watching.
