Would you swap places with a billionaire? Welcome back to Should I Watch That with your hosts Janet and Rachel! This week, we are reviewing the 2025 comedy Good Fortune, written, directed by, and starring Aziz Ansari.
We dive into the hilarious setup: a well-meaning but completely inept guardian angel named Gabriel (played brilliantly by Keanu Reeves) tries to help out Arge, a down-on-his-luck gig worker living in his car. Gabriel decides the best way to fix Arge's life is to magically swap it with Jeff, a ridiculously wealthy tech billionaire played by Seth Rogen!
In this episode, we discuss:
Gabriel's hilarious punishment of losing his angel wings and discovering the joy of human food—especially chicken nuggets.
The sharp social commentary on wealth inequality, capitalism, and the gig economy.
Standout performances from Sandra Oh as the head angel and Keke Palmer as Elena, who is trying to unionize the workers.
Whether or not this funny, message-driven movie is worth your time!
Produced by Ryan Wyrick.
