Seth Rogen made a bold comedic return in Good Fortune, a sharp supernatural film that marks Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut. Blending the emotional charm of It’s a Wonderful Life with the body-swap chaos of Freaky Friday and Trading Places, the movie delivers a socially aware, laugh-out-loud story about what happens when the working class gets a taste of the 1%. It’s another strong example of how Seth Rogen made a ‘Fortune’ by choosing meaningful, character-driven comedy.

Ansari stars as Arj, a struggling gig worker barely scraping by. Things change when a well-meaning but chaotic guardian angel named Gabriel (played by Keanu Reeves) swaps his body with that of his wealthy boss Jeff, played by Ansari’s longtime friend Seth Rogen, showing once again how his roles often balance absurdity and emotional weight.

How Seth Rogen Made a ‘Fortune’ Through Friendship

Rogen was the first person Aziz Ansari approached with the script for Good Fortune. According to the comedy star, he was thrilled to help bring the story to life. Their real-life friendship adds depth to the film’s central relationship, showcasing not only their chemistry but also how he made a ‘Fortune’ both on screen and behind the scenes

A Comedic Cast Where Seth Rogen Made a ‘Fortune’

In addition to Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen, and Keanu Reeves, Good Fortune features Keke Palmer as Elena, a hardware store worker fighting for union rights, and Sandra Oh as Martha, the angel who revoked Gabriel’s wings. The ensemble cast delivers both humor and heart, and it’s clear that Seth Rogen made a ‘Fortune’ by helping bring this socially conscious story to life.

What’s the Premise?

When Arj hits rock bottom falling asleep in a Denny’s booth and getting his car towed—Gabriel steps in with a celestial experiment. He swaps Arj’s body with his wealthy boss Jeff’s to prove that money doesn’t fix everything. But things quickly spiral when Arj begins to enjoy the perks of luxury living. Meanwhile, Gabriel’s angelic duties unravel, and the chaos proves just how well Seth Rogen made a ‘Fortune’ playing the privileged foil to Ansari’s everyman.
