Keanu Reeves Lifts Aziz Ansari's Gentle Comedy Good Fortune

Good Fortune Review

Good Fortune is a witty comedy that features a terrific performance by Keanu Reeves. The film's prince-and-the-pauper-style fable is more humorous than laugh-out-loud funny.

Aziz Ansari plays Arj, a character living out of his car, which creates an immediate dissonance. Ansari's light presence and comedic background make it challenging to convince as a character experiencing economic distress.

Ansari's character, Arj, faces hardships while doing odd jobs, food delivery, and part-time shifts, but seems more irritably inconvenienced than weary.
