Just My Luck official site: http://www.justmyluckmovie.com
Just when you think you don’t need any luck. Just when start to think as long as you work hard for it, you have the rights to earn every single bit of it. Just when you think fate and destiny kicked in. Right, we forgot that it comes down to a tiny winy bit of luck is need.
We obviously have some lucky charms, the famous “I feel lucky” google button. And yes, it all comes down to a little luck at times. And this time, Lindsay had it all.
I think it’s just cool being a girl that have all the luck in the world. When the sun shines for you, the cabs waiting for you, you pick up money on the way to work, date some rich guy, got some nice and expensive dress out of no where.
Yeap, Ashley Albright (Lindsay Lohan) is that lucky girl. Sha can do all the wrong things and yet it seems so right. All thanks to the luck she have.
On the other hand, I know it sounds cruel but everything have to have a balance. Jake Hardin (Chris Pine) is a bad luck guy. I guess he never have any luck in his entire life. He always do the wrong things and just gets in to trouble whenever and however. He got so used to it that he carries a big safety kit out, yeah his backpack is his safety kit, he have all the emergency numbers and knows exactly who to contact.
Jake is working in a bowling place where he found this talented group the McFly. He is all set to be their manager and tries very hard to reach Damon Phillips (Faizon Love). Damon is a very influential and rich man who owns some recording company.
Ashley whom just got promoted due to her luck is soon set in charge of a celebration party for Damon. During the mask party, she somehow got to know Jake and they danced and kissed. Yup, right when they kissed, their luck just swapped.
Ashley who don’t believe in luck in the first place start to believe in it when she lost almost everything she has and goes through a series of trouble and problem. When she finally believes in it, she is all set to find the guy that she kissed in the party.
On the way of finding, she gets to know Jake (not knowing that he is the man behind the mask). Yeah.. actually both of them didn’t know one another. Jakes tries to help Ashely as she thinks the bad luck things that happen on Ashley resembles on what he has been going through before.
Right with all the luck on Jake’s side, the McFly was a super hit! Instantly everyone liked them. And just when they will have a sorta big show at the Hard Rock, Ashley found out Jake was the one she kissed and decided to take back her kiss/luck.
Things then once again went terrible for Jake. Well needless to say, Ashley got her luck back but she missed something. Hehe… yes, you guessed it correctly, she fell for Jake. Well… the ending… hmm…. I guess you are smart enough to guess it. But in case you didn’t just watch it.
Yeah, I think it is an entertaining movie. Light and well, romantic. The songs perform my McFly themselves were simply superb. Not to even mention the other tracks mixed in the movie. I think it was brilliantly slot in. What can I say, ordinary romantic comedy with nice songs! Worth to watch if you love the McFly, or you are simply a Lindsay fans. Ermmm… you could also watch it just to drool over Chris Pine if you haven’t have enough of him in the Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement.
And talk about being lucky… So I guess I am one of the “some girls are born lucky” type. Hehe… yes yes yes… I am lucky but how come I never strike lottery or date a cute hunk like Chris Pine or have some rich man’s son drooling all over me. Sigh so not fair… maybe I oughta look like Lindsay in order to get all the others. Guess I should get started by learning to do the signature Lindsay, Paris wink. Yeah, wink with mouth 45 degrees open and must do it in a 3/4 face angle.
