倒霉爱神

Just my luck的英文解釋是運氣不好，男女主角擁有著極端的運氣，一個吻就能把運氣掉換。多有趣兒的題材，但這電影不算拍的很好，Lindsay Lohan在裡面也過於over acting! 3星全給這題材。

外國網站IMBD跟rotten tomatoes的分數分別是5.4/10和14%，還真夠低的，其實沒這麼差吧。如果沒有期望的話其實也還過得去，還是說點好的吧：

女主沒了好運氣以後碰上男主，得到他的幫助，例如他把包好的bacon留給她吃、為她介紹工作，其實已經比男主之前好多了。當然還有McFly的客串演出，歌曲也非常好聽。

This movie is a typically Hollywood comedy which aims to claim the eye of the audience and make a box-office hit. However, there’re still some sparks enlightening in it.

It’s a love story told in an old-fashioned way, but the thread of the story is new. Two main characters created in the film are worlds apart who but fall in love in the end, which is especially designed for audience’s sake. The woman character Ashley has a charming appearance, a decent job, a cozy house. What’s the most important is that she is lucky as if there was always a lucky star above her. Quite the contrary, the man character called Jack is so unlucky that almost everything doesn’t work out for him. By chance, the two characters meet with each other, and their fortunes are totally interchanged by an inadvertent kiss. Just as expected, the kiss brings them together at the end of the film.

The story is interestingly plotted in that extreme cases are shown which can’t have happened in our real life. Nevertheless, there are real-life persons in the movie, for example, Maggie. A minor character as she is, Maggie represents a lot of people around us, who is not envious with whose lucky dogs, neither does she complain about the life. She just works hard and prepares to make her dream come true, that is what she can do, and what most of us have to do.

In fact, such a thing as fortune does exist in our real life, but not necessarily brought about by a kiss. The final success of Jack whose life is totally changed may come from not from a kiss but his persistence in striving for success. Had he not been prepared along the way, he will not see the light at the end of the tunnel forever. After all, opportunity knocks only once, we have to get prepared from time to time.

To sum up, the film is delighting to our eyes, and the notion of luck here rather grands us some thoughts after watching it.
