Summary: Good Fortune is the rags to riches tale of conscious capitalism pioneer John Paul DeJoria. Born with nothing, at times homeless on the streets of LA, "JP" spent his early adulthood in and out of motorcycle gangs only to wheel and deal his way to the top of a vast hair and tequila empire.

Most of all it shows how DeJoria’s passion for doing good extends into a head-spinning variety of walks of life. Read full review

Good Fortune is laced with celebrity endorsements. Read full review

The movie itself plays more like a corporate recruitment video — or an extended episode of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” — than a deep, discerning dive into an American success story. Read full review

No doubt, these talking-head assertions about DeJoria’s charitable attitude toward work and life...are true. Alas, they’re delivered in a celebratory one-note package that feels like something cooked up by a publicity team. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most documentaries can feel boring or drawn out, too dry and objective to entice viewers without a deliberate interest in what’s being documented. Good Fortune, however, is a documentary which pulls viewers in by the necktie, never letting go until its whole story is told. Good Fortune tells the rags to riches story of Paul Mitchell’s founder John Paul DeJoria. The story on DeJoria’s fight for success is riddled with strife, drama, and aspects of a life lived to its very fullest. Good Fortune isn’t just a documentary on a billionaire, it’s a documentary highlighting the essence of the American dream. I’d highly recommend seeing Good Fortune for a documentary that won’t just inspire you, but keep you invested in it wholeheartedly as any good film should.… Expand
