JUST MY LUCK


RYAN: Are you feeling lucky?

CAROLINE: I sure am, Ryan, and it’s because I saw “Just My Luck.”

RYAN: Just my luck, too.

CAROLINE: Starring Lindsay Lohan and cute guy.


RYAN: Yes, it was real fun for us. I have to tell you, right off the bat, I loved the opening titles.

CAROLINE: They were cute.

RYAN: I thought they were cute and clever and fun and silly and fresh.

CAROLINE: This is a good movie for both the ‘tween and teen set. And us, of course.

RYAN: The girls and the gays.

CAROLINE: All of the above. But having read the reviews, which are pretty terrible, I say “au contraire.” I enjoyed myself watching this movie, thank you.

RYAN: Me too. It was better than “Failure to Launch.”

CAROLINE: Oh, infinitely!

RYAN: It was fun. It’s the kind of movie when you catch it again and again and again on cable, you’ll watch it.

CAROLINE: Or a plane.

RYAN: Right.

CAROLINE: Totally. At first, I was not loving Lindsay. I felt like I was just watching Lindsay Lohan in a movie because she’s so famous now that you can’t see her as a character. But then as it went on, I started to like her more, and I was into it.

RYAN: I think she looks absolutely gorgeous!

CAROLINE: I like her with red hair, it’s much better.

RYAN: Yeah. I was never a fan of her beauty, she was always just Lindsay Lohan – but I’m walking out of this theater thinking, “Lindsay Lohan is beautiful.”

CAROLINE: Yeah,she looked good, which is more than I can say for the girls who play her two friends. Hello!

RYAN: They were a little busted.

CAROLINE: They were a hot mess, I’ll tell you what.

RYAN: Exactly, and it’s really interesting to see former American Idol, Ruben Studdard.

CAROLINE: (laughs)

RYAN: Making his movie debut.

CAROLINE: Playing the role of Diddy.

RYAN: Very etrange.

CAROLINE: That was joke, by the way, for our readers. Ruben’s not really in the movie.

RYAN: It was just a large man who could be him.

CAROLINE: In a Diddy-esque role.


RYAN: It’s a fat joke. Final thought?

CAROLINE: The movie is like “Freaky Friday,” but romantical. I really liked it, it was cute, and hell, I’d see it again.

RYAN: Yeah, I’d sit through it again.

CAROLINE: Much better than I expected. It’s a romantic comedy, I won’t lie, so it won’t be for everyone. I won’t tell you to go see it if you’re a man in your 30s who isn’t Ryan.

RYAN: (laughs)

CAROLINE: I enjoyed it. Totally adorable. Acceptable for young and old. A fun holiday film.

RYAN: Holiday?

CAROLINE: Yes. We’re celebrating May 12.

RYAN: Oh ok. Hardy har har. But I agree and if you’re not in the mood for one of the blockbusters, “Poseidon” or “M:I III,” right now, and you just want a great, fun, really cute romantic comedy that’s definitely not a waste of your time, this is it.

CAROLINE: And it’s got some fun slapstick stuff going on.

RYAN: A little “I Love Lucy.”

CAROLINE: Sure.

RYAN: It’s like a fun sitcom. But movie-length.
