Review

the first time i went to see this movie was in calgary and i walked out after less than five minutes and watched “stick it” instead. if you can get through the title sequence of this film then you can probably get through the rest. it’s a very very bad movie, but it’s not in gigli territory. there are a couple of laughs and it’s not too too long so it’s relatively bearable. the plot follows lohan and some guy who represent the two ends of the luck spectrum – she’s got great luck and he’s got awful luck. when the kiss, they swap luck and hilarity ensues. it’s actually nice and cathartic to see lohan fall in mud and get electrocuted and the rest so that part of the film was enjoyable. in the end they fall in love and give the good luck to someone else. it’s very sweet.
