Overview
- Released in theaters on October 17 by Lionsgate, the film stars Aziz Ansari, Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh in a body‑swap comedy about a struggling gig worker, a rich investor and a meddling angel.
- Critics repeatedly single out Reeves’ turn as Gabriel as the standout, while many call the script uneven and the class commentary thin.
- Early North American grosses were about $2.4 million on opening day, including $725,000 from Thursday previews, pointing to a modest first weekend.
- Based on Lionsgate’s recent patterns, PVOD availability is expected roughly three to five weeks after release, with a first SVOD window on STARZ about three and a half to four months later.
- Coverage notes ongoing scrutiny of Ansari’s recent Riyadh festival appearance and Human Rights Watch’s refusal of a pledged donation as part of the film’s publicity context.
