Aziz Ansari and Keanu Reeves in Good Fortune. Photograph: Eddy Chen/Lionsgate.There’s no sense of pace to it, with some rushed and alienating editing, Ansari desperately in need of the confident hand and slicker formula found in the films he’s trying to emulate. He’s as likable as ever, as is Rogen, and it’s refreshing to see Reeves out of franchise mode but his one-joke character tires, most of his humour based around how apparently hilarious it would be to see the actor do and say certain things (Reeves saying chicken nuggies is really not as funny as the film seems to think).

More cute than hilarious, Aziz Ansari’s disarming first feature, “Good Fortune,” is, on its surface, a familiar role-reversal caper in the vein of John Landis’s 1983 comic marvel, “Trading Places.”
