Alright, buckle up buttercups 🐴, because the trailer for Good Fortune just dropped, and it’s about as original as a Nickelback comeback tour. Aziz Ansari, bless his heart 🙏, is back in the director’s chair 💺, teaming up with Keanu Reeves, who apparently couldn’t find a better script to grace with his presence. Get ready for a comedy so groundbreaking, it’s already been done a million times! 🤣
After gracing us with his demonic charm in cinematic masterpieces 😈 like The Devil’s Advocate and Constantine, Keanu “Whoa” Reeves is now slumming it as a budget-bin guardian angel 😇 in Good Fortune. I guess Lucifer’s pension plan wasn’t cutting it. The teaser, courtesy of Lionsgate Movies (because who else would touch this?), promises an “offbeat tone.” Translation: they threw a bunch of ideas at the wall and hoped something stuck. 🤡 Star-studded cast? More like a bunch of talented people who probably regret their agents.
The trailer kicks off with Keanu as Angel Gabriel (original, I know 🙄) whining about wanting “more meaningful duties.” Newsflash, buddy: being in this movie is already a punishment from the heavens. Martha (Sandra Oh, who deserves better) tells him to find a lost soul. Because apparently, heaven runs on the same logic as a bad reality TV show. 🤦♀️
Enter Arj (Aziz Ansari), a package delivery driver. Because nothing screams “comedy gold” like a struggling gig worker! 📦 Gabriel, in all his Keanu-ness, accosts Arj with the subtlety of a bullhorn: “Arj, my name is Gabriel, and I’m here to save you!” Arj’s response? “Who the f*** are you?” Honestly, same. 💯
Good Fortune boasts a cast so shiny, it’s blinding. Ansari directs, produces, and probably makes the coffee too. Executive producers Anthony Katagas, Jonathan McCoy, Christopher Woodrow, Connor DiGregorio, and Alan Yang are also involved, because apparently, it takes a village to create a cinematic experience destined for the bargain bin. 🏘️
Keanu Reeves plays Gabriel, an angel who’s about as good at his job as I am at parallel parking. He messes with the lives of Arj, the struggling delivery guy, and Jeff (Seth Rogen), a wealthy venture capitalist. Because what’s funnier than rich people problems? 💰 Sandra Oh, Keke Palmer, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Roman Reigns also star, because why not throw in a wrestler? 🤼♂️
Lionsgate will unleash Good Fortune in theaters on October 17, 2025. Mark your calendars, folks, because you won’t want to miss this train wreck. 🚂 Just kidding, save your money and rewatch John Wick. You’ll thank me later. 😉
