Forget the eyepatch -- wouldn't she get, like, worms or something?

Well, I can now definitively say that I am more embarrassed to have watched Just My Luck than Princess Diaries 2.  At least PD2 had a good supporting cast, as well as the excuse of being a kids movie.  I'm not actually sure who the target audience for JML was supposed to be.  People who would dismiss Meg Ryan and Sandra Bullock rom-coms as "too cerebral"?  Also, the writers routinely confused "bad luck" with "crushing stupidity."  I will admit to enjoying a little schadenfreude at Lindsey Lohan's suffering, though.

( Cut for random Story Time )

Anyway, I suffered through the movie for Chris, who was cute with the kid, even though I'm getting tired of the Sassy 8 Year Old archetype.  Yes, it's kind of funny to hear a kid say "ass."  But not that funny.  And I'm sad he only wore the glasses for the first 20 minutes, because as everyone in Movieland knows, getting rid of the glasses is the first step toward boosting self-confidence.  Here's an idea: keep the glasses, lose the rest of the clothes.  I would watch an hour and forty-five minutes of that, even if it occasionally cut back to scenes of LiLo shoving cat crap in her eyeball.

Yes, that happens.  Don't watch this movie.

A/N: Inspired by reezoo's post about the rough Inishmore Q&A.  This is like comfort dessert food wrapped in molasses with a thick layer of icing, just so you know.

( Great. Chris’ mood is so pissy that his own sister foisted him off on Zach.  )
