Good Fortune

Comedian Aziz Ansari returns with his hilarious new comedy that proves miracles happen... just in all the wrong places.

Good Fortune

Also starring Keanu Reeves (John Wick series, The Matrix series), Seth Rogen (The Super Mario Bros. Movie, This is The End), and Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy, Turning Red), Good Fortune sees Aziz Ansari playing the role of just your average gig worker, tired of living his average life, until his encounter with an angel named Gabriel, played by Reeves, gave him what he wished for, swap lives with the wealthy businessman, played by Rogen. This film made its first appearance at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.

Unfortunately, this is the only comedy movie you'll get to watch this autumn. There aren't any other options, right? However, the unique combination of comedians Aziz Ansari and Seth Rogen, action star Keanu Reeves, and Sandra Oh from "Grey's Anatomy" makes this film stand out. While it features a lot of typical toilet humor common in many comedies, the story revolves around an angel who swaps the lives of an average guy and a wealthy man, which is the essence of "Good Fortune". The film effectively illustrates what it feels like to walk in someone else's shoes, as portrayed by Ansari and Rogen.

If you need a break from all the overhyped movie lists of the year, give Good Fortune a try. Although filled with toilet humor, it's another proof that comedy is not dead, just like the recent Naked Gun movie.
