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.

Galatea M

A fun rom com for something light hearted and easy to digest. More so aimed at a younger audience. A product of its time, it's a little clunky. Though considering the great cast and while acknowledging the moments of simple fun… It's worth a watch for a laugh at the younger and now much more famous cast members, or a movie to easily enjoy with the tween members of the family.

Teen rom-com genre transferred to young adults in the workaday world. Supernatural events transfer Lohan's perfect luck to Pine who has all bad luck and vice versa. A weak script makes this outing pedestrian at best. The leads are likeable enough to keep you interested, but there is no great comedy and the story is totally predictable. This must have been one of Pine's first lead roles. I can't think why he would have gotten involved in this otherwise.

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.
