Good Fortune Review
Good Fortune is more witty than laugh-out-loud funny, featuring a terrific performance by Keanu Reeves in a prince-and-the-pauper-style fable.
Aziz Ansari plays Arj, a character living out of his car, which is an unusual role for the stand-up comedian turned multihyphenate, given his typically light presence.
- Ansari's character experiences economic distress, taking on odd jobs and piecemeal gig-economy chores.
- Despite the hardships, Arj seems more irritably inconvenienced than bone-deep weary.
He's gladhanding his way through his acting gigs.
Keanu Reeves' performance lifts the gentle comedy, making Good Fortune an enjoyable watch.
Author's summary: Keanu Reeves shines in Good Fortune, a witty comedy.
