Our take
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is rated R for pervasive language, violence, some grisly images, and brief sexual content. A future traveler recruits diner patrons to stop rogue AI. Expect hostage-style bomb threats, a shooting, severed-limb humor, suicide references, and near-constant f-word dialogue in a loud, satirical tone
Uplifting themes
Courage and doing the right thing surface, wrapped in cynical humor Most diner recruits are flawed; heroism is messy and reluctant Raises questions about AI and screen dependence without offering answers
Story (may spoil tone)
A 'Man from the Future' arrives at an LA diner where he must recruit the precise combination of disgruntled patrons to join him on a one-night quest to save the world from the terminal threat of a rogue artificial intelligence.

Talk after watching
- The film satirizes phone addiction and AI fear. How close does its future feel to today?
- Strangers must trust a man claiming to be from tomorrow. When is skepticism healthy?
