[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to the plot

Story: Good or bad luck, Gan Kun moved greatly.

Ashley (Lindsay Lohan), a sexy and lovely Manhattan girl, is definitely the luckiest girl in the world. She really envies her luck. She can win the lottery at will in wind and rain. In new york, the busiest city, she never has to wait for a taxi. She just graduated from college and became the manager of an old company. Moreover, she recently got the opportunity to hold a masquerade party for the record giant Damon Phillips, which is a direct result.

The handsome young Jack (chris pine) is definitely Dreadwind's bad star in the world. The sky will rain with him. He will be disconnected when he puts on his pants. His job is just to clean the toilet in the bowling alley. However, the optimistic Jack never complains. He loved music and formed his own band. All day, he was looking forward to finding an opportunity to give his band's CD to Damon, a record giant, to realize his musical dream.

At this fantastic masquerade, Ashley met Jack who sneaked into the masquerade. Two masked men danced in the music, but a casual kiss after the dance made their luck take a 180-degree turn. From then on, Ashley began her unexpected unhappy life, but Jack suddenly became a lucky dog.

Comment in one sentence

This film full of special effects needs skill and a certain degree of humanity as a remedy, but Unfortunate Love has neither.

-Entertainment Weekly

This kind of congenital farce is undoubtedly difficult to build self-confidence, which destroys all the romantic atmosphere and does not give the two star characters who play lovers a chance to shape, making the collocation of characters puzzling.

-"Film Review"

Unlucky Cupid, which takes place in Manhattan, is a popular Cinderella version of the bubble drama, giving people a strange and romantic feeling ... but lindsay lohan and chris pine are a very attractive couple on the screen, and young people in their teens and twenties will definitely vote for them.

-"Hollywood Report"

Although there are five screenwriters in this film, surprisingly, many films made by brains are empty. It is a good thing to say that this film is ordinary, but it is actually cotton candy: it is full of too much sweetness and empty heat, which will not only lead to tooth decay, but also erode the brain.

-Scroll Movie Review

The screenwriter can't break the shackles and make the film humorous. Director Donald Pate and a bunch of actors have nothing to say. Only chris pine will show some charm from time to time, and lindsay lohan also shows some signs that she is indeed an actress. This may be a good film, but it is by no means popular.

-San Francisco Chronicle

comment

In the 20th century, Fox dared to arrange the release of Kiss of Luck on the same day as Poseidon, which was a disaster production by wolfgang petersen, the great director who directed The Perfect Storm and Attack Under the Sea. He naturally took a fancy to the romantic style of the film, which is very different from Poseidon, and lindsay lohan's popularity is also one of the magic weapons of the film company, from the initial hundreds of thousands to Lucky Kiss. Lindsay lohan's box office sales ability is remarkable in the eyes of film companies, and the romantic comedies directed by donald petrie also have a good reputation. It seems that Kiss of Luck is expected to become a dark horse at the box office from a crowded summer file.

[Edit this paragraph] behind-the-scenes production

[About this movie]

In order to avoid the conflict with the opening time of the World Cup on June 9, the film company adjusted the release schedule of many blockbusters, including Mission Impossible 3, Poseidon, The Da Vinci Code and other big-budget films, and packed them into May, pushing them wildly and preheating the summer files. Last year, 20th Century Fox, which dominated the summer box office with Fantastic Four and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, also threw stones at the second-dimensional sketch "Unlucky Love" in Lin Lizhong's blockbuster, hoping to find another way in the gap of the masterpiece.

Self-aware "unlucky Cupid" made it clear that he would fight against blockbusters with retarded plots, funny plots, beautiful protagonists, romantic love and a little superstition. Past experience has proved that the summer stall will never refuse such cunning and flattering kitsch, and Fox hopes that when the audience is oppressed by thrilling stunts, gorgeous special effects and reasoning, a retarded light comedy like "Unlucky Cupid" can play the best summer drink in time to adjust their body and mind. Besides, movies are not useless. Although the plot is old-fashioned, it has a true description of the Manhattan world. Screenwriter Amy Harris (who used to be the screenwriter of Sex and the City) and director donald petrie are both good at making light comedies of dessert type, and they are very eye-catching among a group of tough guys with exquisite costumes and delicate details of life. Unfortunately, as long as cupid doesn't want to flirt and coquetry, he can basically make a steady profit.

Although the forecast was so optimistic, the opening of 254 1 cinema turned out to be a barren state of $5.5 million, which made people stunned. Even the little queen lindsay lohan, who had high hopes, failed to recover. On the one hand, it has something to do with lindsay lohan's recent low popularity: since 2006, Luo Han has been kicked out of all kinds of smelly things by the media-anorexia, alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, hospitalization, crazy parties, undressing scandal, and breaking her ankle, and she has become the "queen of negative news", and the most dazzling star in the "DreamWorks of Beautiful Girls on the Screen in the New Century" has gradually faded. On the other hand, it lies in the improper casting of the film. The main audience of "Unlucky Cupid" is young people aged 20-30, while Lohan's fans are mostly young fans aged 10-20. In 2006, Lohan won Nickelodeon's "Favorite Film Actress of the Year" award, which is a strong proof. Lohan's strength is beyond a chicken knife.

[Director]

Donald Pate graduated from the American Film Academy. Before becoming a film director, he worked as a TV actor for ten years. With the support of Steven Allan Spielberg, he embarked on a career as a director and chose an exaggerated and funny surrealist style. Donald Pate persistently engaged in comedy film creation. He became famous for his role in Cinderella Now, which opened a star road for Julia Roberts with a big mouth. Since then, he has dabbled in science fiction comedies, family comedies and action comedies, and directed Peeing Old Naughty Boy, God of Wealth, First Love, Tycoon Crazy, Alien Report, Beauty Pageant and so on. In Donald Pate's view, the essential qualities of a romantic comedy are hilarious jokes and unexpected plot twists, and "Unlucky Cupid" is just what you want.

In addition to being good at making gimmicks and rendering romance, Pater's other unique skill is to tap the comedy potential of actresses: no matter what kind of beauty, from Julia Roberts (now Cinderella) to sandra bullock (beauty pageant) to kate hudson (how to dump a guy in 10 days), it will become a screen joke in Pater's hands. Lindsay Luo Han Cheng, who performed well in Hot Mom, Spice Girl and Bad Girl, is determined to find out the comedy factors that Luo Han urgently needs to develop through his unfortunate love for Pate's next goal.

[actor]

The biggest attraction of The Unlucky Cupid is lindsay lohan, the American queen. This 19 actress has surpassed Britney Spears in popularity index in Hollywood. Lohan set foot in the modeling circle at the age of 3 and participated in the shooting of dozens of advertisements. The small freckles on his face became a symbol of his sweetness. As early as before graduating from primary school, Lohan had a wonderful performance in the family comedy film "A Match Made in Heaven". Since then, Lohan's exposure has soared, and she has been rated as the most "eye-catching" young actress in Hollywood by gossip media. In 2003, Lohan competed with Curtis on the same stage in the remake of Hot Mom and Spice Girl, and his performance was extremely eye-catching. In 2005, the remake of Disney's classic old movie Crazy Scarab Car came out, which brought extraordinary effects to Lohan. From child stars to pop upstarts to Hollywood darlings, Lohan's triple jump is neat and beautiful. This new generation of "It Girls" girl, who is worth several jumps every year, suddenly appears in the top ten incomes of Hollywood actresses. Unlucky Cupid is Lohan's first attempt at adult roles. Lohan's mother, who is also his agent, made the following prediction: "In five years, she will win the roles played by Julia Roberts and gwyneth paltrow, and then win an Oscar …" In June 2006, Lohan will star in robert altman's "Good Partner of Ranch House" with Meryl Streep, and then she will star in a play. Perhaps under the overwhelming paparazzi gossip, Lohan can really make a positive result.

[Edit this paragraph] Highlights

In order to make better use of lindsay lohan as a cash cow, the producers have tried their best: during the filming process, reports about Lohan emerged one after another-one said that she was seriously ill, the other said that she was depressed because of her parents' divorce, and the other said that she had a toilet passion with British rock singer Harry Judd on the set. With so much gossip, the film has attracted enough attention before it was released.

Microfly in the movie is the hottest British idol group in reality. "Pop punk rock, Beatles style, perfect harmony, clever guitar arrangement" is the charm of the band. Tom Fletcher, danny jones, dougie poynter and Harry Judd, four handsome and energetic male lead singers in the band, all made guest appearances. Her debut single "Five Colors in Her Hair" has also become the main track in the film.

Since 1998 successfully played the cunning and lovely twin sister in A Match Made in Heaven, Lindsay Lohan's exposure has not declined slightly. In 2003, she and Jamie Lee Curtis "transformed" each other and performed Hot Mom and Spice Girl together. Then came the 2004 campus comedy Spice Girl, in which she played a charming and naughty high school girl. This young actress, with a deep and husky voice like demi moore, can present multiple faces, such as sexy, intelligent, funny, calm and lovely, both on the screen and in real life. With such excellent qualifications, a large number of die-hard fans and luck, Lindsay Lohan, who became the heroine of romantic comedy at a young age, can stand out in Hollywood according to the route taken by Julia Roberts.

Graduated from American film director donald petrie, it is because of the support of the great director Spielberg that the director who has been involved in the TV industry for a long time can get the opportunity to direct smoothly. Although under the guidance of Spielberg, donald petrie got a new understanding of the theme and interest, especially the love movies, and did not follow Spielberg's route. Recently, since then, Donald has produced such directorial works as Peeing Old Naughty Boy, The God of Wealth in Charge, First Lover, Tycoon Crazy, Alien Report, Beauty Pageant, How to Dump a Guy in 10 Days, etc. , showing quite good lens processing ability. Besides being good at romantic themes, the most impressive thing about director donald petrie is that he is good at transforming actresses. For example, Julia Roberts, a sister in Hollywood today, stands out from his work Cinderella Now.

Lindsay Lohan, a child star, is only 19 years old this year, but she has been out for nearly 10 years, so she has many fans, some of whom are crazy and even surprised herself. Lindsay lohan's youth movies are good at the box office in the United States, but the American youth idol is often photographed smoking, drinking, debauchery and even being accused of taking drugs.

In March 2005, when the crew of Lucky Kiss moved to Manhattan, new york to shoot the location of the film, lindsay lohan became the star of the paparazzi. According to the film executive, there were as many as thirty or forty paparazzi shooting on the set every day, so that the crew had to temporarily set restrictions to prevent paparazzi from getting close to the filming location. This time, in order to make new york in the film more convincing, director donald petrie arranged for new york Central Park and Times Square to enter China in order to seek a realistic new york style. Besides, the Microfly mentioned in the film does exist. This band is played by a band of the same name composed of four hottest handsome men in Britain. They are also responsible for the creation and arrangement of songs in the film.
