Good Fortune

A well-meaning but rather inept angel named Gabriel meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker and a wealthy venture capitalist.
Snowy Ball says:
"Good Fortune" is a film that unfortunately lives up to its title in irony rather than substance. The plot meanders aimlessly, offering a disjointed narrative that fails to engage or excite. Each character feels like a hollow shell, lacking depth and relatability; their motivations are unclear, making it hard to care about their journeys. The dialogue is painfully clichéd, filled with lines that seem more suited for a forgettable sitcom than a feature film.
The acting leaves much to be desired, with performances that range from wooden to overly melodramatic. It’s as if the cast was given little direction and told to improvise their way through scenes that should have been tightly scripted. This lack of cohesion results in moments that are unintentionally comical rather than poignant.
Visually, "Good Fortune" offers nothing new or inspiring; its cinematography is bland and uninspired, further detracting from any potential enjoyment. The pacing drags significantly, making the film feel much longer than its runtime suggests. In terms of entertainment value, it falls flat—there are few redeeming qualities to grasp onto amidst the chaos.
Ultimately, "Good Fortune" feels like an exercise in frustration rather than a cinematic experience worth having. It’s difficult to recommend this film when there are so many other options available that provide genuine storytelling and character development. Save your time and seek out something with more substance; this one is best left forgotten.
