Overview
- Keanu Reeves portrays Gabriel, a “budget” guardian angel whose attempt to swap lives between a struggling gig worker and a wealthy tech entrepreneur drives the comedy.
- Aziz Ansari makes his first feature film as both writer and director, also starring as Arj, the gig worker at the center of the swap.
