Just My Luck (2006)
7/10
Good for a movie night
3 February 2007
OK i saw this at the cinema and was a bit disappointed but recently saw it again on DVD and found it to be much better than i remembered. I admit on first viewing it's a little cheesy and annoying but on second viewing, it's actually quite good. I think it has to do with the fact of seeing it in the comfort of my own lounge room. I also found that i wasn't as judgmental or analytic. If you just sit back and watch the movie for what it is, you'll enjoy it more. Otherwise you're just going to give yourself an aneurysm over plot holes in the script and whether some scenes had any point. I reckon it should have been released straight to DVD but whatever.

Basically it's a fun, silly chick flick that relies a lot on physical comedy rather than wit. I'm more into witty comedy so it wasn't that funny for me but it was still amusing. I actually laughed quite a bit in one part that involves mud.

Chris Pine is really good as Jake, if it wasn't for him then the whole movie would have fallen apart in my opinion. Plus i'm a huge fan of McFly so i had something extra to enjoy ;)

In a nutshell...Just My Luck is really good for when you're having a movie night at someone's house and you want something cheery and simple to keep the mood light.
