A gleeful high-concept comedy with a serious message at its core, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die lets Sam Rockwell rip with thrilling results while marking a very welcome return of director Gore Verbinski in peak form.

I can’t remember seeing a film that espoused ideas and beliefs with which I agreed wholeheartedly (social media is evil and we’re all going to die) while simultaneously boring me stupid.

This starts strong but doesn’t always have the room to explore all the ideas it crams in, even with a lengthy running time. Still, Rockwell’s man-on-a-mission is a delight.

The last 25 minutes of it are just hogwash.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is fortunate to be full of entertainment and some vitality. It isn’t perfect, although it’s illustrated as a product of human choices, probability, and possibility.

It’s so strangely ineffectual that the main fascination, as the images crawl by, is trying to figure out why none of it is working.

Absolutely loved it. Surprised its not being released on. Larger scale—its so good! And to see Sam Rockwell play a good guy was nice.

Horrible story, not funny or fun. Sam Rockwell with a beard never makes him any better of an actor. Not sure what Hollywood went on strike about since this movie seemed like it was written by AI. Just horrible.

"Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" is an amazingly entertaining movie. The writing is brilliant. While SciFi (and weird scifi in this case) isn't everyone's cup of tea, if you like the unusual, this is as good as it gets.

Definitely more of a comedic feel to it by satirically criticizing our current electronic device reliance.
