Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Just My Luck is a 2006 Romantic Comedy film directed by Donald Petrie and starring Chris Pine and Lindsay Lohan and was, apparently, supposed to be a vehicle to launch McFly's careers across the pond from their native UK in America.One night Ashley, a woman (played by Lohan) with all the luck in the world meets, kisses, and somehow switches her luck with Jake (played by Pine), the unluckiest man in the world, at a masquerade ball. He's been trying to get McFly (Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter, and Harry Judd, playing fictionalized versions of themselves) a record deal in New York City, but his extremely bad luck has always prevented him from doing so. Meanwhile, Ashley's luck has helped her a lot with her life, as she basically breezes through life, finding money on the ground, being able to talk a record executive into a deal with the company she works for with no prior experience in negotiating (just sitting in on meetings), and just being all around lucky. After their lucks are switched, both scramble to try to right their situations with the new luck-based hands they've been dealt.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

"Freaky Friday" Flip

This isn't the first time Lohan starred in a "Freaky Friday" Flip movie. Hell, that wasn't even the first time. The only difference here is that this isn't a remake of a Disney movie.

Actor Allusion: McFly actually did get popular really fast in the UK and also got a record contract pretty fast when Tom Fletcher was removed from Busted and then cowrote a lot of the songs from Busted's second album with James Bourne from the band that turned into big hits that their agency let him audition people to be in a new band. McFly then went on to become the youngest members of a band to have an album debut at #1 in the UK, which was a record previously held by The Beatles. James also cowrote a lot of the songs from McFly's first album. This isn't the first time Lohan starred in a "Freaky Friday" Flip movie. Hell, that wasn't even the first time. The only difference here is that this isn't a remake of a Disney movie.

Advertised Extra: British band McFly play fictionalized versions of themselves in the film and even get an "and introducing" credit, but they're barely in it, only relegated to several scenes involving them either practicing their songs, recording them, or playing them live. From how they act in the film and in behind the scenes material, there was probably more scenes shot with them too, but they were cut for some reason.
