HOLLYWOOD, CA—On September 9, 2025, Keanu Reeves is being hailed for what might be his funniest role yet in Aziz Ansari’s directorial flop, Good Fortune. The Keanu-Reeves-Good-Fortune-comedy triumph sees him as Gabriel, a heavenly do-gooder spearheading an anti-texting-while-driving campaign, only to botch his angelic duties by meddling in Ansari’s lost-soul antics.
Reeves’ stone-faced charm saves the shaky script, turning a tired “fish-out-of-water” trope into a laugh riot. Think Bill & Ted meets John Wick with wings. His comedic roots—first seen in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and the dark chuckle-fest I Love You to Death—shine through, outclassing his action-hero gigs like The Matrix or that time he sparred with Pacino’s devilish lawyer.

Analyst Tara Kline quipped, “Reeves’ angel is comedy nirvana!” From Toy Story 4’s Duke Caboom to Always Be My Maybe’s cameo, he’s flexing his funny bone again. Check updates at The Hollywood Reporter. At press time, X users were cackling, insisting his Dracula accent still takes the comedy crown.
