Review of Keanu (2016) by Thequietgamer — 25 Dec 2016

A Key & Peele skit stretched out to movie length. While it is stretched a bit too thin in some areas, the talented duo are able to squeeze enough jokes out of the concept to keep things entertaining. It's just that some gags go on for a bit too long.

The plot is about two average dudes pretending to be gangsters in order to go on a drug run and get their cat back. From there all sorts of craziness ensues. In order to provide enough laughs to keep things going, we have to stick with jokes a little too long. An extended drug sale involving a cameo by Anna Faris (playing herself)is one such example. Really it's just a chance for the two to use some cruder R-rated humor that they couldn't on their Comedy Central show. It also a chance for them to use some gritty and surprisingly well-shot action scenes as well. Both are used to good effect and make for a pretty funny movie.

If you like Key & Peele on TV then you should like this movie. It's basically just an 1hr 40min, R-rated Key & Peele sketch. A pretty funny one at that with one heck of a cute cat. It's a one joke idea and it shows, but works well enough thanks to it's talented leads to make it worth a watch. Particularly for Key & Peele fans.
