There is already a lot to like about Good Fortune, from the concept to the cast. It got even better when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the reviews were extremely positive. So while this movie might be the one that destroyed Keanu Reeves&#8217;s knee, a good comedy is desperately needed right now.<\/p>\n<p>Lionsgate released the second trailer for the film, but something to keep in mind when it comes to comedies is that they are hard to market without giving everything away.\u00a0You want to show people the movie is funny by showing the jokes, but the jokes are 80% of the reason people go, and showing them all in the marketing is essentially spoiling the movie. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SAMkXY2Ja80%20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">second trailer<\/a> has a lot of new footage, specifically about what\u00a0Seth Rogen&#8217;s character and Reeves&#8217;s well-meaning angel get up to. We also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CYqr5uL_ncA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">got a clip<\/a> a few days ago where it becomes apparent that money does indeed buy happiness when you&#8217;re poor.<\/p>\n<p>\u25b6&#8221; style=&#8221;border: 0px;&#8221; allow=&#8221;accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; fullscreen;&#8221; loading=&#8221;lazy&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CYqr5uL_ncA?feature=oembed&#8221; title=&#8221;Youtube Video&#8221;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Good Fortune: Summary, Cast List, Release Date<\/p>\n<p>In Good Fortune, a well-meaning but rather inept angel named Gabriel (Keanu Reeves) meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Aziz Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Seth Rogen).<\/p>\n<p>Good Fortune, written and directed by Aziz Ansari, stars Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, Keke Palmer, with Sandra Oh, and Keanu Reeves.
