Arj [Aziz Ansari] lives in his car and takes odd jobs to survive. One of his clients is the billionaire entrepreneur Jeff [Seth Rogen]. Arj is at the end of his rope, and a somewhat clumsy angel [Keanu Reeves], without permission from his manager [Sandra Oh], decides to try to make Arj understand how valuable his life is. But that’s not easy! While his character is reminiscent of Ted from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Reeves, with his shoulder-length hair, looks more like John Wick. A bit confusing. Ansari and Rogen make an entertaining duo, but Ansari could have trimmed his screenplay a bit.

A body-swap comedy reminiscent of the films that employed the same approach in the 1980s. Keanu Reeves plays the angel who tries to teach the impoverished Ari (played by Aziz Ansari, the film's director) that wealth isn't everything. To demonstrate this, Ari takes the place of the wealthy Jeff (Seth Rogen). As befits a comedy, this daring experiment doesn't go as planned.
The film doesn't break any ground. Everything about it is simply solid. The story follows the typical feel-good path. Ansari directs solidly without any particular stylistic finesse. Visually and rhythmically, it's not exciting, but it's perfectly fine. The story lurches a bit. It takes a while for the characters to find their place in the storyline. Once they do, it's much more enjoyable.
The film isn't particularly funny. It is, however, amusing. The biggest contribution to the entertainment value comes from the ensemble cast. Reeves performs perfectly as an angel who views humanity and the world with a touch of naiveté. Rogen and Ansari essentially do what they always do. It feels familiar, but it's also amusing. Rogen plays the smug, well-to-do citizen, while Ansari plays the likable underdog torn between beautiful promises and moral lessons. No surprising characters, but sympathetic.
Ansari's official directorial debut after his canceled film "Being Mortal" (Naughty Bill Murray) is solid, entertaining, and charming. An entertaining film that sprinkles lightheartedness and is easy to watch. I would have preferred it to be a bit more spirited and subversive.

I found it a great watch. The gap between rich and poor was, of course, exaggerated. You know everything will eventually work out, but the road to get there remains unclear for a long time.
