Just My Luck (PG)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You won't be shocked to learn that Just My Luck is not a profound meditation on the significance of chance. Much like Donald Petrie's previous romantic comedy, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, it's just a snappy premise which the five credited writers fail to spin into a workable story. And to make matters worse, Pine's character manages the deeply punchable Britpap combo, McFly, so they're hardly ever offscreen. The paradox is that when Lohan starred in Freaky Friday and Mean Girls as a teenager, her films could be enjoyed by viewers of all ages; whereas now that she's graduated to, theoretically, adult fare, she's in a film which only a 13-year-old girl could stomach.
