Good Fortune
In Good Fortune, Ansari plays a down-on-his-luck guy who is working myriad jobs. He's hired by a new acquaintance (played by Seth Rogen), who lives in the Hollywood Hills, to do various jobs for him - put in a disco floor, fix the pool heater. Keanu Reeves "valley" angel makes it so Rogen's rich guy situation is swapped with Ansari, so the latter has the former's life.

Good Fortune doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It’s one of those movies that takes a formula we’ve all seen before, self-discovery, second chances, a touch of fate, and executes it with such warmth and sincerity that it just works.
The pacing feels effortless, the humor lands softly, and the performances have genuine chemistry. It’s cozy cinema: predictable, yes, but polished and heartfelt enough that you don’t mind seeing where it’s going.
