Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

... a variation on Freaky Friday buffed with a bit of 13 Going on 30's yuppie-career-princess gloss.

Just My Luck is a bit of lukewarm cappuccino froth confected to float Lindsay Lohan to the next stage of her career.

The real rot is in the script.

The assumption must be that those who see this PG-13 movie have been raised on a diet of bathroom-humor comedies and are not quite ready to let that go.

Stephen Hunter Washington Post (Top Critic)

I can't think of a movie that matters less than Just My Luck. It's just negligible.

Why [Lindsay Lohan] agreed to front a movie tailor-made for Hilary Duff or the Olsens is a mystery.

The new Lindsay Lohan romantic comedy, Just My Luck, needs more than just luck to overcome an achingly stupid script. It needs a miracle.

Throw in a hot new British bubblegum band, McFly, a bit of magic, romance, humor and a happy ending, and you've got a good, old-fashioned escapist popcorn flick.

Just My Luck is a safe teen movie that teens will actually like, and there are far worse things than that.

It's safe, competent and bland.

Presumably, this movie was designed to be a fun romp, and in that it fails.

I liked the film's idea that luck is like love -- something that diminishes when you hoard it and multiplies when you share it.

Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)

Both a goofy little sugar-high of a comedy and a canny bit of image rehabilitation for the tabloid-tarnished starlet.

In the end, Just My Luck is light, fluffy and as quickly forgettable as a tossed-aside horoscope.

Just My Luck is a fortune cookie of a movie, without the fortune: The outside looks sweet and tasty, the inside is hollow and dry.

Justin Chang Variety (Top Critic)

As disposable as a broken mirror, Just My Luck plays like a focus-group compilation of everything a 12-year-old girl could want in a Lindsay Lohan movie.

An appallingly unfunny and unromantic romantic comedy starring tabloid bait Lindsay Lohan.

Just My Luck runs out of luck long before it runs out of film.

Word on the street -- we're not sure which street -- has it that Just My Luck is Lindsay Lohan's final teen comedy. If so, the timing couldn't be better.

Just my luck that the movie is directed by Donald Petrie, who made the a similar Manhattan-set How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, though this time it's vaguely crossed with the magic plot of 13 Going on 30.

From my perspective, it's watchable, but barely, and nothing I would go out of my way to locate, even if going 'out of my way' represents using a remote control to change TV channels.

Sheri Linden Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine make a charming star-crossed couple, and tweens and teens will find enough plot reversals to keep them hooked.

Christy Lemire Associated Press (Top Critic)

Just My Luck is the worst kind of comedy -- one that assumes the audience can't think for itself, and therefore feels the need to punctuate each sight gag with obnoxiously jaunty music.
