This is socially and economically ignorant as there are no realistic answers to the problems that we are aware of: briefly; we meet Gabriel [Keanu Reeves:] an Guardian Angel with the duties of trying to prevent people from harm by texting, but he wants to do more such as save a lost soul, so you find one in the form of Arj [the Writer/Director for this film Aziz Ansari:] he is person that is very much struggling to be at work, he uses this app if my memory is correct it is called General Tasks [but I could be wrong about the name,] this is where we meet Seth Rogen [Jeff:] a wealthy individual that has done very well in his life that goes on business to business making more and more money as he goes along taking ideas and making them into something and has recently fired Arj: Gabriel comes up with this idea for these two individuals to switch lives and so on and so forth.

Generally speaking: pretty much everything about this film is garbage, the storyline/script is as I have already referenced socially and economically ignorant from the perspective of; it is talking about real life issues such as the socially and economical current situation for most people around the world, having to work really hard to make ends meet, not forgetting highlighting that some sections of our society quite possibly of ethnic descent having to work possibly three jobs, including but not limited to clumsily and inadvertently highlighting without actually bringing it in to the film [so you won't see it or hear it or other,] that someone like myself being condemned to a disability/wheelchair for the rest of my life and the fact is we can't switch bodies or different status and then without giving too much away but I still have to make this point almost implying/clumsily I need to point out to be grateful for it or at minimum a willingness to go back to it is I am going to be civil here and say: well that is one step too far for me, basically this film is virtual signalling of the highest order of garbage, okay it does have some elements of substance and I will be acknowledging that in my marking and just in case if you think they have forgotten the framework and pacing 97 minutes is a skimming stone skimming against water as we have time jumps and the pacing is best described as mobile.

Comedy and action; if you are going in with the idea that this is a comedy you are sadly mistaken as in one way or another the best bits are in the trailers and action? What action? We get to see some of avoiding of vehicle crashes, dancing and gunshots and that is it.

Character developments and performances; well on both counts it was either good, but sturdy character developments and performances or mostly garbage, with much on substance between the three male roles until around the final quarter of this project, I mean one of the most dumbest things about this film is asking one of these characters to go back to having absolutely nothing and only people that have actually been there having to go back to nothing and on top of that work for that absolutely nothing [you see this will divide my readers: from the people that actually know what I'm talking about and those that just think my sentence makes no sense] and then to do virtual signalling as it relates to workforces should have better working conditions is nothing but pathetic as everyone knows they should have better working conditions, because you pointed out the film that doesn't mean things are going to change in fact I have just realised not only is it virtual signalling garbage and pathetic it is also incredibly arrogant.

This film receives: 2/10, this film is poor; I honestly don't know what this film was sent out to achieve, because all it does is highlight things that we already know and if its purpose was for may be an owner of a big company to change their ways so that everyone gets a better standard of working conditions consequently life then this film is delusional and as I have already said arrogant to believe that they can have that kind of effect, even though they play out this kind of scenario to indicate what should have in a perfect reality, in the same reality that I wouldn't have brain damage or mental health issues and spending that life in a wheelchair and not forgetting country conflict as well. I mean if you haven't guessed I really don't like this film; it is a snowflakes dream though and on a quick side note the person I watch someone this content with says that Reeves shouldn’t do that clueless characters I am paraphrasing as it doesn’t suit him. I mean I completely agree when Gabriel makes Ted 'Theodore' Logan [Reeves: from the Bill & Ted universe] look a genius then there is a problem. Yet this film has some awards accredited to its name such as 2 Nominees which include but not limited to Warsaw International Film Festival 2025  Encounters Polish Film Institute Award (Audience Award) Aziz Ansari
