From the visionary minds of Key and Peele comes the film Keanu. The comedy duo of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are best known from there sketch comedy show "Key and Peele" and long time fans will even remember their MADTV days. Keanu marks the first time the duo have paired up for a film and for a first outing I would say they did pretty well.
Jordan Peele plays a man who after a bad break up, finds an adorable kitten on his door step and decides to care for him and name him Keanu. When the cat is stolen by a gang, the man and his cousin (played by Keegan Michael Key) go out looking for him. Their search gets them involved with a local gang, some assassins and a bunch of other crazy characters.
The premise alone is enough to get any fan of the comedy duo excited and it does lead to some funny situations. But a few days after watching it, I can't remember that many jokes from the movie. The best humor comes when the duo works of each other and other characters as well as like some comedies of this year, using George Michael music.
Keanu is one of those comedies that you can enjoy if you pop it in every once in a while or watch when its on TV. Not a very memorable movie, I don't expect it to be on my best of list, but if you're up for a comedy with a cute animal in it, I would give it a recommendation.
Grade: B-
