Good Fortune Review
Good Fortune is a witty comedy that features a terrific performance by Keanu Reeves, although it is more gentle than laugh-out-loud funny.
The film, a prince-and-the-pauper-style fable, stars Aziz Ansari as Arj, a character who is living out of his car and struggling to make ends meet with odd jobs and gig-economy work.
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.
Despite the economic distress his character faces, Ansari's portrayal comes across as more irritably inconvenienced than deeply weary, which creates an immediate dissonance in the film.
Author's summary: Keanu Reeves shines in Good Fortune, a gentle comedy.
