It is a romantic comedy set in New York about a lucky girl and a loser guy who had no luck at all, but get their luck swapped when they kissed.

Lindsay Lohan plays Ashley Albright who works at a New York City public relations firm. Ashley is so lucky that she always gets whatever she wants. Everything she does is perfect. As a matter of fact she is known among her friends as the luckiest girl in New York City.

On the other hand, Jake Hardin (Chris Pine) is such a loser that nothing ever works out for him the way he wants. He manages a band and all his attempts to get a recording contract with a decent studio had failed.

Ashley and Jake meet accidentally and they happen to kiss at a masquerade ball which resulted in the swapping of their luck. Soon, Jake succeeded in getting a contract for his band with a prominent producer but Ashley's luck went down the drain. She suffered a series of humiliations and got fired from her job and ended up in jail. In short, they ended up having the opposite polarities of the sphere of luck. Later in life, Ashley and Jake met again in a chance encounter and ended up falling in love with each other.

Director Donald Petrie tries his best to narrate a silly romantic tale with some charm and wit. But the story is pretty well predictable without much suspense. He is trying to warn young boys and girls to be careful when they kiss strangers. 

Lindsay Lohan as Ashley presents a mediocre performance. Once her luck changes, her role suffers a great set back. In the beginning she is so likable and loveable but later it changes. On the other hand, Chris Pine as Jake steals the show. There is not much chemistry between Lindsay and Chris.

The film has a silly theme. Lindsay Lohan has been a crowd pleaser and no matter what, her fans are going to love this film. It may appeal to the teen crowd as well. For others watching this movie it may not be the luckiest thing to do that day.

We rate this movie BELOW AVERAGE.
