Rating: R Stars: Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, Keanu Reeves, Keke Palmer, Sandra Oh, Stephen McKinley Henderson Writer: Aziz Ansari Director: Aziz Ansari Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: October 17, 2025 In GOOD FORTUNE, writer/director Aziz Ansari takes the basic premise of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE and swirls it together with TRADING PLACES. Ansari adds enough twists so that GOOD FORTUNE isn’t a carbon copy of either, while using Keanu Reeves’s comedic style to maximum effect.

Stars: Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: May 11, 2011 As NBC mulls the fate of PARKS AND RECREATION (it would seem an impossibility that they wouldn’t bring it back, even for a truncated season), the fourth season finale “Win, Lose Or Draw” proves why the show shouldn’t be on the bubble, and deserves a few more seasons of its well-oiled comedy.
