Review of 'Good Fortunes': A Comedy with Lessons on Wealth and Happiness


Explore 'Good Fortunes', a comedy about life lessons with Aziz Anzari, Seth Rogan, and Kiana Reeves as a guardian angel.

A movie about the most overworked, underpaid career field of all time: Guardian Angels. "Good Fortunes," written and directed by Aziz Anzari, features him as a character living in poverty, with Seth Rogan as a wealthy tech entrepreneur, and Kiana Reeves as the guardian angel Gabriel.

The plot revolves around a swap of lives orchestrated by Gabriel, aiming to teach Anzari's character that money doesn't equal happiness. Despite becoming rich, he finds himself too comfortable to revert back.

Gabriel, described as a "budget guardian angel," has the job of preventing texting and driving incidents. The film offers a humorous yet thoughtful exploration of wealth and happiness, illustrated through Aziz Anzari's unexpected journey and interactions with Kiki Palmer's character.

While not provoking belly laughs, "Good Fortunes" is a cute, amusing film exploring deep themes, such as learning life's lessons beyond material wealth, framed in an enjoyable bromance between Rogan and Anzari.
