Good Fortune is a comedy that is more witty than laugh-out-loud funny, featuring a terrific performance by Keanu Reeves.
The film tells a prince-and-the-pauper-style fable, with Aziz Ansari playing a character living out of his car. However, Ansari's light presence and comedic background make it hard to take his character's economic distress seriously.
