Keanu Reeves, recognized for his performances in action series such as The Matrix and John Wick, might appear to be the perfect guardian angel, adept at managing any danger. Nevertheless, in the movie Good Fortune, Reeves portrays an angel named Gabriel, though not quite the one you would envision. His character resembles more of a “cost-effective guardian angel.”

Penned and helmed by Aziz Ansari, celebrated for Parks and Recreation and Master of None, in his first full-length directorial venture, Good Fortune traces Gabriel’s quest to validate himself as a guardian angel. Usually tasked with minor duties like assisting individuals who are choking or distracted by texting while driving, Gabriel longs for more substantial roles. He seeks to locate a lost soul and reveal the splendor of their existence.

Gabriel finds such a soul in Arj, a struggling gig worker interpreted by Ansari. However, his scheme to infuse meaning into Arj’s life goes awry when he mistakenly exchanges Arj’s body with that of affluent venture capitalist Jeff, played by Seth Rogen.

Initially designed to illustrate to Arj that wealth is not the answer, Gabriel’s approach misfires when Arj becomes captivated by Jeff’s way of life. The repercussions of Gabriel’s mishap result in him losing his wings and coexisting with humans. Yet, as the trailer implies, with scenes of Gabriel relishing fast food and dancing, this punishment may not be as terrible as it seems.

Alongside Reeves, Ansari, and Rogen, Good Fortune boasts performances from Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer. The film is set to premiere in theaters on October 17.
