Just My Luck

Today’s movie stars – especially those who are prone to appearing in the tabloids for their movie-star antics – often have to work against their off-screen image in their films. In Just My Luck, Lindsay Lohan plays a ridiculously fortunate New York City publicist who always has things go her way, and the movie never quite recovers from the way Lohan bops around with an air of celebrity entitlement, even when her character’s luck begins to change. You watch her with the same expression you use while gazing at her on the cover of Star.

Drama Rated NR

“… a scrappy, neo-realist tale of societal scrounging that’s paused by poetic moments of slow cinema.”

Tropical Malady (2004)

Drama Rated NR

“Unusually sensitive, in the sense that every element seems to pulse with its own life force. . .”
