Good Fortune
Film | 2025
Available on HBO Max on May 8, 2026
Comedy | Runtime: 1h39
From Aziz Ansari | Screenplay: Aziz Ansari | Starring Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen, Keanu Reeves, Sandra Oh, Keke Palmer
Original title: Good Fortune
Nationality: United States
The film follows Gabriel, an angel who tries to alter the course of two very different lives. On one side, a worker living on the edge of precarity; on the other, a wealthy man whose material comfort contrasts sharply with the hardships faced by the first. His intervention paves the way for a comedy about luck, money, and the place everyone holds in society.
With Good Fortune, Aziz Ansari delivers a film that he also stars in. The presence of Keanu Reeves in the role of Gabriel gives the story its fantastical starting point, while Seth Rogen, Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer round out a cast that leans into contemporary comedy.
The film should appeal to fans of social comedies and tales with a fantastical twist, where a supernatural intervention drives a clash between two opposing ways of life. Its rollout on HBO Max follows a VOD release date announced in France for December 15, 2025.
