Yet another limp spy spoof that fails to make any interesting critiques about the genre, let alone construct a humorous gag.

What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Still, the vibrantly shot Lucky Star could have been a mildly entertaining bit of escapism, were it not for the fact that Sophie isn't naïve so much as infantile, a point driven home by her wardrobe.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
With a running time of nearly two hours the overall silliness wears thin rather quickly.
Wholesome, effortless entertainment that runs smoothly enough but seldom takes one’s breath away in the romance department.
The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
My Lucky Star, a spy-caper romance from China, is sweet and harmless, but it’s also a little disorienting.
That My Lucky Star isn’t serious is less an issue than the fact that its comedic action is so broad, ridiculous, and predictable that it soon feels juvenile, akin to a training-wheels variation on various genre formulas.
