    The gags, almost all of which involve the passage of gases and liquids, move at a fast-enough clip to keep you awake throughout. For which this review expresses a sorrow as profound as the sympathy it feels for all the actors.

    Let's hope -- shall we? -- that the "true story" that allegedly "inspired" All the Queen's Men was a lot funnier and more deftly enacted than what's been cobbled together here.

    So TV-movie-of-the-week that you wonder throughout why you can't use a remote to find a decent ballgame.

    You won't feel anything. Period. Oh, maybe bored or disoriented by the inside jargon and alien references that will be comprehensible only if you happen to have played the computer game on which Wing Commander is based. [12 March 1999, Calendar, p.F-10]

    Even the movie finds itself asking when it'll end. Not soon enough.

    An unintentional parody of every teen movie made in the last five years. Which can be the only rational explanation for making such a mess all over the screen.

    Skip it. Just fill in the blanks and you too can brew the same bland, goopy mixture, right down to such clunker lines as "There is a Santa Claus, Ma. He just doesn't come to Brooklyn anymore."

    Stay as far away from Just My Luck as you can.
    • 25 Metascore

    Like a dinner-theater version of the "Alien" movies without the good grooming.
    • 13 Metascore
    • 10 Gene Seymour
    Struggles awkwardly to bring a twist or two to its hoary class-conscious story line, aiming for a subtlety in character development that's smothered by excessive kitsch and kink.
