Written and directed by Aziz Ansari, Good Fortune features a talented ensemble cast including Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, and Keke Palmer, alongside standout performances from Sandra Oh and Keanu Reeves. With its mix of humor, heart, and a touch of the supernatural, Good Fortune promises a fresh and engaging cinematic experience.
Good Fortune is not Wings of Desire—no poetic angels quietly observing human lives here. Nope, this one’s more like angels gone rogue, poking their noses (and halos) into the messy, hilarious chaos of everyday folks. Think less “ethereal solemnity” and more “divine slapstick comedy.”
If you’re looking for a movie to tickle your funny bone rather than tug at your heartstrings, Good Fortune has you covered. Forget the idea that angels are all somber; there’s no laughing allowed in heaven, but down here on Earth, Good Fortune delivers pure, unfiltered joy and delight. It’s like celestial mischief met a comedy club and they hit it off spectacularly.
So buckle up, leave your deep philosophical musings at the door, and get ready to enjoy a heavenly good time—no halos required!
This looks like an entertaining new film from Aziz Ansari, and here’s hoping it marks a positive turning point in his career. Good Fortune follows the story of Gabriel (played by Keanu Reeves), an earnest but somewhat clumsy angel who decides to intervene in the lives of two very different people: a struggling gig worker portrayed by Aziz Ansari, and a wealthy venture capitalist brought to life by Seth Rogen.
Did you know fortune cookies were first baked up in Japan in 1878? Crafted from just four basic ingredients and filled with one of only 15,000 possible nuggets of wisdom, these crunchy clairvoyants crank out over 4 million bite-sized prophecies a day—courtesy of a 1964 cookie-folding contraption that’s been bending both dough and destiny ever since. Let’s hope Aziz Ansari cracked open a lucky one!
