Good Fortune Age Rating
Good Fortune is officially rated R for language and some drug use. This means younger viewers will hear strong words and see brief drug use. The tone is light and playful, but adult in places. Parents should expect fast banter, party settings, and a few edgy jokes.
Violence & Peril
Violence appears mild. Expect slapstick mishaps and fantasy scrapes tied to angel antics. Tension stays comic rather than scary or intense. No realistic or graphic violence is highlighted in marketing.
Language
Strong language pops up at times, matching the R rating. Expect a handful of harsher words during arguments or jokes. No hateful slurs are emphasized in official materials. Frequency likely intermittent rather than constant.
Mature Themes
Themes include wealth, luck, personal responsibility, and cheating fate. Brief drug use appears in a casual, party-style context. Some suggestive humor may appear, typical of adult comedies. Fantasy elements center on an angel and a life swap.
Is Good Fortune Suitable for Teens?
Ages 10–12: No. R-rated language and drug use are not suitable. The humor targets adults.
Ages 13–15: With Guidance. Mature teens may enjoy the fantasy comedy, but the language and drug moments need context.
Ages 16–17: Yes, with Guidance. Older teens can handle the themes; U.S. rules still require a parent for under-17 entry.
Bottom line: Best for 15–16+ with parental guidance, and 17+ to watch independently per U.S. rating rules.
What Parents Can Do
Prep for language and party scenes. Set expectations about words heard and why the film is rated R.
Discuss choices and privilege. Talk about money, empathy, and how quick fixes rarely solve problems.
Frame substance content. Use the brief drug use to discuss real-life risks and boundaries.
