"even if it offers Lohan her first role as a grown-up, places her in a corporate New York, and contrives a scene in which she gets to wear a dress owned by Sarah Jessica Parker, the sex in this city never seems to get beyond first base."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
"Filmmakers were lucky to pick the perfect co-stars for 'Just My Luck.'"

"OMG! It's
The Passion of the Lohan
!"

"I have no problem with Lohan desiring to be Lucy, but she's got to find a better director than the torturous Donald Petrie to help get her to that level."

Brian Orndorf
""I'm like the rest of the rabbit after they cut off the lucky foot," moans Ashley (Lindsay Lohan). Poor girl: her sense of self wasn't always so dire."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1/5
"Is this movie actively hoping people will hate it for being so stupid?"
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
1.5/4
"A romantic comedy neither romantic nor particularly funny."

"Every single scene is an abominable assemblage of mind-boggling stupidity, completely unmotivated behavior, and unfunny slapstick."

D+
"Takes the vaguely supernatural conceit of films like
Intacto
and
The Cooler
and drains it of all fascination, putting it in service of one of the more dim-witted romantic comedies I've had to sit through in recent months."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
1/4
"Slight, pointless and convincingly witless. Lohan's cinematic
Luck
runs out instantaneously...[this] convoluted comical piece is as lucky as a mutilated 2-leaf clover"
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
D+
"A flat, lackadaisical take on the supernatural love-story formula, lacking the storytelling magic or the intense romantic chemistry that might have helped it take flight."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"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."
ReelViews

3/10
"No amount of rabbit foot rubbing, four-leaf clovers or upturned horseshoes can save this often excruciating mess."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
3/5
"It's very difficult not to get on board with this quirky comedy."
FilmFocus
Joe Utichi
3/10
"Features Li.Lo doing what Li.Lo does best: Pretending to be one kind of person (lucky/unpopular/a teenager/one twin/not a race car driver) and then pretending to be the exact opposite (unlucky/popular/a mom/the other twin/a race car driver)."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
2.5/4
"Entretenida parábola de que la vida puede ser tan blanca o negra como nosotros mismos queramos hacerla. Si no se ve con esta idea en mente, mejor evítela."
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade
3/5
"As much as I wanted to hate this movie, I have to admit it had quite a bit of charm."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1/4
"You're breaking my heart, Lindsay!"
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
1/5
"
Just My Luck
is the kind of film that's too romantic for younger viewers and too redundant for young teens."
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
2/4
"
Just My Luck
is the cinematic equivalent of stepping on a crack and breaking your mama's back."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
2/5
"Conta com a distinção de ter sido produzido por ninguém menos do que Bruce Willis, o que me leva a crer que ele tenha batido a cabeça durante as filmagens de
Sin City
."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
1/4
"The shallowness of female pop culture that Holofcener courageously tears down is just the thing
Just My Luck
successfully re-perpetuate."
Slant Magazine
Paul Schrodt
1.5/5
"just another reason for moviegoers to (perhaps unfairly) deride Lindsay Lohan"
Filmcritic.com
Pete Croatto
1.5/5
"Yet another trite, gimmicky rom-com."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
B
"Lindsay Lohan will draw the femme fan crowd that, in turn, will bring their boyfriends. Don't worry guys, it's not just another teen chick flick."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
4/10
"Lindsay Lohan's a loser this time round with this forgettable, featherweight, cliche-filled contrivance."
