Good Fortune is exactly what it says on the tin: a straightforward, feel-good documentary about a guy who went from sleeping in his car to building hair-care and tequila empires. It's got solid lessons about perseverance and giving back, and it's perfectly safe family viewing.
But let's be real—this is a 2016 documentary about a billionaire, and it shows. The format is pretty standard (interviews, old photos, inspiring music), and while DeJoria's story is genuinely impressive, the film doesn't do anything particularly creative with it. The critic-audience score split (75% vs 96%) tells you what you need to know: audiences love the inspirational vibes, critics found it workmanlike.
For teens exploring entrepreneurship or business, there's real value here. For everyone else, it's a pleasant-enough watch that won't stick with you. The bigger problem is actually finding it—no major streaming platforms means this might gather dust on your 'someday' list.
