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 creates an immediate dissonance due to Ansari's known wealthy background and light presence.
- Ansari's character faces hardships doing odd jobs and gig-economy chores.
- He seems more irritably inconvenienced than bone-deep weary.
Ansari, a stand-up comedian turned multihyphenate, has a light presence, right down to the pitch of his voice; he’s gladhanding his way through his acting gigs.
Author's summary: Keanu Reeves shines in Good Fortune, a witty comedy.
