Good Fortune is a fantasy comedy built around the idea of luck, morality, and second chances. The story follows a struggling man whose life changes when he crosses paths with an angel who interferes in human affairs. What begins as a playful setup slowly turns into a reflection on gratitude, selfishness, and what people really want when their wishes come true.
The film moves between light comedy and gentle emotional moments. It is not loud or chaotic. Instead, it takes its time with conversations and situations, letting the humor come from character behavior rather than punchlines. The fantasy element is used more as a tool for reflection than spectacle, keeping the story grounded despite its supernatural hook.
I loved this film. I love Aziz Ansari, and the world honestly needs more films like this. Films that are kind, thoughtful, and human without trying to be cynical or loud. There is something comforting and sincere about the tone, and it really worked for me.
The cast is amazing. Keanu Reeves is a highlight, bringing warmth and calm humor to the angel role. Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer add charm and energy, and everyone feels perfectly cast. Their chemistry gives the film much of its heart.
The film is directed and written by Aziz Ansari, and his voice is clear throughout. Critics were mixed, but for me, Good Fortune is exactly the kind of film we need more of. Warm, funny, gentle, and sincere. It left me smiling and reminded me why simple, human stories still matter.
