Good Fortune (2025) review

Gig worker Arj (Ansari, in his directorial debut) lands a job as the assistant for venture capitalist Jeff (Seth Rogen) but gets canned when he uses Jeff's business card to take his lady friend Elena (Keke Palmer) out for an expensive meal, and then dopey angel Gabriel (Keanu Reeves) floats down from the rooftops and forces Arj and Jeff trade places.  Combining a body swap plot tool along with the concept of divine intervention isn't really advisable, and for being a professional comedian Aziz's screenplay is curiously missing any laugh-out-loud moments, although the social commentary, while overstated, is quite thoughtful: Arj, having taken over Jeff's luxurious existence, has no desire to return to his previous life of sleeping in his car and unable to pay his bills, and the world is designed to continuously punish the poor and reward the already prosperous.  The message, then, is to make do with what you have and try to improve yourself (and those in a similar economic situation) in small ways, and Elena's goal of unionizing her fellow workers at the Home Depot-esque hardware store is a solid beginning.
