3/4
Good Fortune rests on the universal fondness with which we hold its leading angel, who has the rare knack of being in on the joke while somehow remaining too pure for it. Go to Full Review
Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald Oct 29
2.5/5
Good Fortune...is a mildly subversive fable about the yearning for big-time success – and also the kind of medium-budget comedy that...nowadays only exists because someone like Ansari has enough TV clout to bring it into being. Go to Full Review

3/5
Good Fortune is a cinephile’s comedy, patchworked from the likes of It’s a Wonderful Life (1946), Trading Places (1983), and Wings of Desire (1987). It’s more pleasant than it is funny. Go to Full Review

4/5
A brilliant comedy that does the one thing that so many comedies forget to do these days - makes its audience laugh. This is probably the best comedy you will see this year and has standout performances from all of its leads. Go to Full Review

Hassan Haroon 2d One of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year! Keanu Reeves was a standout and kept me laughing the entire time! See more Loki Dec 6 great film overall but had a hard time getting over awkward beginning where a narrator would have helped. See more Nina Nov 23 Slow and fun comedy that was a breath of fresh air. The viewpoints on the gig economy were spot on and relatable. Definitely something I would watch again. See more Brent Nov 18 Late on rating this movie but I really enjoyed it. I'm a big Keanu Reeves fan and he was excellent in this movie. Seth Rogen does a great job as well playing his character. Lots of laughs and heart warming. I loved it and definitely recommend! See more Facebook U Nov 18 Has the feel of trading places mixed with some freaky Friday. The humor is there and the context of today’s tough economic environment is well place. It was refreshing to see Keanu Reeves not on a murder revenge bloodbath tour. Aziz Ansari & Seth Rogen work well together and the cast came together perfectly. Good Fortune is a well put together film that won’t get the love it deserves. See more Asingingfool Nov 18 Such a rich and great film. Well thought out! See more Read all reviews
