Good Fortune: A Comedy with a Touch of Wit
Good Fortune is more witty than laugh-out-loud funny, but features a terrific performance from Keanu Reeves.
Aziz Ansari plays Arj, a character living out of his car, which creates an immediate dissonance due to Ansari's known wealth and light presence as a comedian.
Ansari's character experiences economic distress, but his portrayal comes across as more irritably inconvenienced than genuinely weary, as he navigates odd jobs and gig-economy chores.
He's gladhanding his way through his acting gigs.
The film's prince-and-the-pauper-style fable is elevated by Reeves' performance, making Good Fortune a notable comedy.
Author's summary: Keanu Reeves shines in Good Fortune.
