a little disappointed

Disappointing, I mean, by Hollywood-style drool-movie standards.

The content of the story is similar to Lindsay Lohan's other movie "Freaky Friday". It also uses some magical magic to replace some things between the two, but this time it is to change luck.
I have seen a lot of such movies, but I have always been interested in them. It can be seen that the subject matter is not the biggest problem.

The main thing is that it feels too deliberate, a little too hard, and it compares and highlights good and bad luck from the beginning to the end, but I accidentally go to extremes and lose the comedy effect.

At the same time, the choice of the male protagonist is also a mistake.
This kind of youth movie is because girls watch more. If you don't choose a seductive male protagonist, you will probably lose the chance to become popular.

Lindsay has been getting better and better in Hollywood in recent years, but every time she looks at her new works, she has a feeling of being inferior to the top.
Going round and round, it was actually the best "The Parent Trap" of her childhood.

Just My Luck quotes

  • Ashley Albright: [to Maggie] Oh... I never noticed. Is your cat all black?

    Maggie: Yeah. Why?

    Ashley Albright: Just curious. Well this is nice. We'll have fun. Everything's gonna be... Oh, my god.

    Dana: What?

    Ashley Albright: I have a zit. I have a zit. Girls, I have a zit!

    [Ashley's hair gets caught in the hair dryer and she smashes the bathroom window]

    Dana: Ash, are you okay in there?

    Ashley Albright: Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

    Dana: Ashley? Ash!

    [Ashley causes the lights in the entire building to blackout]

  • Madame Z: Look, did anything unusual happen at that party?

    Ashley Albright: Oh... Well besides the fact that I tore my dress, nearly choked to death, and the felony charges... no.

    Madame Z: Yikes! How about before that?

    Ashley Albright: Well, I mean, I kissed a cute guy, but... that's hardly unusual. Wait a second. You said I could lose it to someone else, right? So does that mean he took my luck from me?

    Madame Z: Maybe he needed it more than you.

    Ashley Albright: So he stole it? That little whack-kissing bandit! No, that is just my luck, okay? And you're going to help me and tell me how to get it back.

    Madame Z: Me? Well, let's see. Uh... If he took it from you with a kiss... Then it stands to reason...

    Ashley Albright: What?
