Moviegoers are saying
This bizarrely entertaining indie hit has audiences split between loving its absurd originality and scratching their heads at its bonkers narrative involving cloning and time elements starting in 2021. Reviewers consistently praise it as an 'absolutely bonkers satirical black comedy' that sparks post-viewing discussions, with many planning to see it again despite - or perhaps because of - its confusing plot.

Sometimes the world needs a punch right on the nose to snap them out of the hellscape we’re just barreling towards at rapid speed
FramesofnickFeb 12, 2026a bit much (extremely complimentary)
Patrick WillemsFeb 9, 2026Bonkers. Gore is simply yelling at a wall here (so happy he's back). much of it is so memorable and vibrant - a proper display of his technical prowess. the conclusion does enter the realm of too nonsensical even for him, but it's still a lot of fun. incredibly in your…

mikkoFeb 12, 2026It's very nice to have Verbinski back, but I'd be lying if I said that the stuff that makes that makes this somewhat exceptional didn't mostly annoy me. The eye for composition and design is undeniable and the performances are funny but it's a little too manic and airquotes…

The kind of unsubtle batshit bonkers but technically proficient Hail Mary that you’re either going to love it or hate it. But, like, you can’t hate Sam Rockwell (it’s illegal) so…

I had a ton of fun and didn’t die. 🥳
Platypus Lord likedGood Luck, Have Fun, Don't DieA quirky, chaotic, funny sci-fi romp about the way technology is turning us into zombies. There's an enticing eerie undertone & Sam Rockwell, well, rocks. The message is trite but worthwhile, something I already ponder - the way we glut ourselves with entertainment & stimulation.

- Garmelie dislikedGood Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
I wanted to love this but ultimately found myself disappointed in the existence of this film more so the content I watched. There’s rightfully a lot of praise reaching this project, Sam Rockwell is great, visuals are unique and lead to larger scenes having this grand appeal but nothing detracted…
Shally is "meh" onGood Luck, Have Fun, Don't DieI really wanted to love it and it was hilarious but: 1) it dragged on longer than necessary 2) the plot became too silly at some point 3) they had an opportunity to show how social media is ruining society but instead turned it into an 8 year old typing at a keyboard
Datsotfoplorts3on lovedGood Luck, Have Fun, Don't DieThis is one of those films that someone can write a dissertation paper on. So many levels of social commentary & humor & script writing. And I’m pretty sure we all have fan theories about every aspect of this movie. Fantastic movie. Love it.
- Clay Werner likedGood Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
8.1 - Weird & big & bold, this exceeded pretty much everything I hoped it would be. Following the trailers & early reactions of “Gore Verbinski is an odd one” I didn’t know if this & hit for me, & while it unravels a bit in the end and doesn’t quite stick the landing, I gotta respect the swings…
Ani N. likedGood Luck, Have Fun, Don't DieI’m not quite a ♥️ but maybe after a 2nd watch. So much going on here, I’ll definitely need one. I mean, there’s threads within threads. It’s weird, it’s fun, it’s got the obvious social commentary in such a crazy way. The stacked cast is great and Sam Rockwell nails it as usual.
T reece lovedGood Luck, Have Fun, Don't DieWent and saw this in at amc after getting tickets to screen unseen, first time buying tickets and going to see a movie without knowing what we were going to watch. Honestly ended up being one of the best movie experiences I’ve had since I can remember. Glad we went to see it!!!!!

Being one who knows code! I loved this movie!!!
FAF AndDid not explain cloning & how already mature, also did not explain time mix that started in 2021. Zazie Beetz was great as always.
AVAdam VenderWell it was absurdly insanely weird. I don't know what to make of it

What a great movie!
CJCarsten JewkesCouldn't decide whether to give this 4 or 5 stars. A very entertaining but BIZARRE movie. pretty funny, absurd, and also poignant at times. Had my wife and I talking about our theories of just what the hell we watched during the entire drive home, and we both really enjoyed…

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.

It’s wrapped in an original, funny piece of entertainment, but this is also undeniably a warning.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die doesn’t quite deliver on the sardonic promise of its catchy title, but its appealing cast and Verbinski’s flair for kinetic action set pieces make it a reasonably entertaining entry in the canon of gonzo sci-fi comedies fueled by existential dread about the dystopian techno-dominant reality we’re already trapped in.
