Good Fortune

With some big names, I was really expecting more from this but found it a complete letdown. First the acting: Keane Reeves must have been deliberately playing this so wooden because surely he's better than that. Aziz Ansari: I've never seen him before and have no desire to again. Such a poor actor. Seth Rogan: Not a fan, this confirms why. So that's the three main characters performing so badly that even if the script was decent, which it isn't, it didn't stand much of a chance. The only redeeming feature for me was Keke Palmer who is not one of my favourite actresses but here, her performance made me sympathise for her character and she played it well. Sandra Oh was good for her relatively small part. There were a few lines which made me snigger but not loudly and not many. At least I got my nachos at the cinema to stop the evening being a complete write-off.

What I love about his movie is that they don't follow the old cliche "Money don't buy happiness". The trio had an adequate performance that fits the movie and the downfall of an angel as an underpaid worker is one of the funniest things ever that will be etched in my mind.

A great film debut for Aziz Ansari.

Saw right after Black Phone 2 - This helped me feel calm after a disturbing movie. Great experience fairly funny, relatable, and great entertainment! I don't know why couple older folks didn't seem to laugh once although there was only a few parts that were really funny most was unfortunate circumstances and life lessons.

They fully banked on Keanu just being the most lovable man, and it works. I can't imagine this movie working with any other actor in his role.

The movie takes a little time to set up, but once they get into the high concept storyline, there are a lot of good laughs, especially between Seth and Keanu.

If you're a fan of Aziz's style of humor or if you just want some Keanu content, then you'll have fun watching this movie.

Good Fortune is a breezy romantic comedy that delivers exactly what you'd expect: laughs, charm, and a feel-good story. The film thrives on its witty dialogue and the undeniable chemistry between the leads, which keeps the energy light and engaging throughout.

What stands out most is the movie's ability to mix humor with moments of genuine warmth. It doesn't try to reinvent the genre, but it embraces the classic rom-com formula in a way that feels refreshing rather than stale. The pacing is tight, the supporting cast adds plenty of flavor, and the overall vibe is colorful and uplifting.

If you're looking for a film that will put you in a good mood without demanding too much emotional investment, Good Fortune is a solid pick. It's the kind of movie perfect for a cozy night in.
