Alright, fellow mortals, grab your holy popcorn 🍿 because the trailer for “Good Fortune” has landed — and it’s heavenly chaos in the best way possible!
At first glance, we meet our angelic protagonist Gabriel, who seems to be on a noble mission: protecting humanity from the horrors of texting while driving [00:00]. Because apparently, celestial beings have taken up traffic safety as their divine duty. Respect. 🛐🚗
But wait, plot twist! Heaven’s HR decides to “promote” Gabriel [00:22]. No more minor miracles — now he has to save one extremely unlucky dude. Should be easy, right? Well… welcome to Earth, buddy.
Turns out our poor soul has been assigned a “budget guardian angel” [00:29], while some rich dude named Jeff gets a guardian with access to disco floors and ayahuasca shamans [00:37]. Because of course he does. Even in the afterlife, privilege exists.
🪄 Gabriel thinks he’s cracked the code: let’s switch their lives! That’ll teach ’em. So Jeff goes from infinity pool to cockroach motel, and our unlucky guy upgrades to VIP status. Seems like a flawless divine plan.
Except… it totally backfires.
Jeff is thriving in his new peasant-core lifestyle, and Gabriel is spiraling into a divine existential crisis. The angel is seen chain-smoking (heaven-approved tobacco?) and moaning about his tiny wings [01:59]. 😂
By the end of the trailer, the moral seems to be: “Be careful what you wish for, even if you’re omniscient.” Oh, and maybe… don’t take HR promotions in Heaven too seriously.
Final verdict: “Good Fortune” is what happens when Bruce Almighty and The Good Place have a baby, and it’s raised by a sarcastic angel with a caffeine addiction. 🙃☕🪽
