In a world where viewers are either bonding with aliens (thank you Lilo & Stitch), dodging vampires with questionable hygiene (The Sinners), or sprinting from death itself in Final Destination: Bloodline, cinema has truly become a gym membership for the soul, constant cardio. If not dodging ghosts, they are decoding ciphers with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible. But what if Aziz Ansari throws a narrative curveball with an old-fashioned body-swap tale? The last notable one was Family Switch in 2023, and now, things are getting even juicier.

Good Fortune has a delightfully chaotic plot, a stellar cast, and it is geared up for a release that promises comedic brilliance.

Good Fortune shall make its theatrical debut in the United States on October 17, 2025, a date now inked in cinematic prophecy. What began as a May 2023 endeavor quickly encountered that most American of delays: a strike, courtesy of the Writers Guild of America. Filming crept forward in January 2024, limping slightly after a star’s untimely injury. Clearly, even good fortune sometimes requires patience, insurance, and a sturdy ankle brace.

Good Fortune follows Gabriel, a low-tier guardian angel who takes pity on an unlucky man named Gary, a struggling odd-jobber working for an obscenely wealthy socialite named Jeff. When Gary hits rock bottom, complete with a tragic nap at a Denny's, Gabriel intervenes by swapping Gary’s life with Jeff’s to prove that wealth is not the solution. The plan backfires spectacularly when Jeff’s riches instantly solve Gary’s problems, and Gabriel is demoted, wingless, and forced to crash on Earth, with Jeff.

Now Earthbound and roommate to a very bitter Jeff, Gabriel watches as his previous "heavenly work” starts falling apart in the most hilarious ways. With a plot this fantastically derailed, it only makes sense that a brilliant cast will bring the madness to life effortlessly.

Good Fortune features Keanu Reeves as Gabriel, a well-meaning but somewhat discounted angel who gets more than spiritually grounded, he suffered an on-set injury that temporarily halted production. Aziz Ansari stars as Gary, a struggling man desperate for a break, while Seth Rogen embodies Jeff, an absurdly wealthy socialite who becomes the unintended victim of a celestial body swap. Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh also join the stellar lineup, adding further comedic and dramatic weight to this cosmic misadventure.

This marks the directorial debut of Aziz Ansari, making it a highly anticipated and significant return to the spotlight. As fans await the film's release, they may explore some underappreciated comedies on Netflix to tide them over. With this blend of chaos, charm, and celestial comedy, an ensemble of this caliber is destined to turn Good Fortune into a memorable cinematic event.
