"Just My Luck" (2006).  I kinda remember skipping that on purpose when it came out.  It's streaming on Hulu, I took a flyer on it.  Silly, but entertaining enough.  Lindsay Lohan (when she was still a big deal and before she went off the deep end) is the luckiest person in NYC.  Chris Pine (I think before he really hit it big?) is the unluckiest.  They meet at a party and swap fortunes.  Much hi jinks ensues.

As a side note, this is not really a diatribe, but an observation.  Maybe it's just me.  I can't keep track of how many movies I've seen where the lead actress, who is supposed to be the hottest woman around, is IMO at least matched if not eclipsed by her friend/friends/roommate who is presented as if she's totally ordinary.  Hollywood is weird that way.  In this one, Lohan was certainly attractive, but I couldn't suspend my disbelief that her friends played by Samaire Armstrong and Bree Turner were lonely girls sitting around at home on a Friday night because no guy noticed them ever.  Actually it's not just Hollywood.  Even the French do it.  Watched "The Valet" the other day.  While the supermodel played by Alice Taglioni is certainly beautiful, so is the "ordinary" girl played by Virginie Ledoyen.
