Rating - ***1/2 (3.5/5)
Everyone is living a messed-up life until they’re rich, filthy rich. That might sound like a pessimistic way to look at life, but Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune plays with that idea like a clever magician, teasing it at first and then slapping you with reality checks wrapped in humor, empathy, and Ansari’s signature self-awareness.
The film doesn’t sermonize. Instead, it seduces you into its chaos with whip-smart punchlines, ironic truths, and enough heart to make you think about your own version of “good fortune.”
