Trivia:

For filming the concert scenes in England, fans were told when booking the tickets that they could be in the filming for Just My Luck. This was so that they wouldn't bring any merchandise or banners, to coincide with the idea that Mcfly were an undiscovered band.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the scene when the three girls are eating and talking about how lucky Ashley is (just before the masquerade bash), the colors of Maggie's headband switch back and forth between shots. Sometimes the blue/green side is in the front, but sometimes the purple side is in the front.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Ashley Albright: Good morning, Oscar.

Freaky Friday II The Return... or something like that

I was amazed that my eight year old daughter found this movie almost as silly as I did, and thats not a good thing. I went with my Mother (82) and my daughter (8) and wished I was somewhere else. I don't usually feel that way, I liked Chris Pine in the Princess Diaries II and I liked Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday, I watch several movies with my daughter that I actually enjoy. I had to walk out at one point due to the shear stupidity of the scene. I am not saying that the movie was a total loss, I gave it a 3 after all, there were some good scenes and some good chemistry between Chris and Lindsay but the writer, Director and whoever handled the editing should reconsider the material. I would hate to think that was the best they got during filming... One highlight was the band, they were pretty good as were the friends. Missi Pyle's talent was completely wasted as the "boss" leaving this movie as a Lindsay Lohan vehicle that crashed on the way to the audience.
