Keanu
3.5 Waffles!

"A hilarious parody of crime dramas and action movies that is absurd enough to be funny and smart enough to make you feel guilt free at the end of the movie."

Finally, we have a funny comedy. It’s feels good to laugh again.

Jay Peele stars as Rell – a brokenhearted man mourning the loss of his latest love, but hope lands on his door step one day in the form of the cutest stray kitten known to mankind, Keanu (that’s one cute kitten).

Little does Rell know Keanu belonged to a major crime figure in Los Angeles, and each criminal who comes into contact with the little fur ball falls so deeply in love with him, they become obsessed with getting him back.

Now, Keanu has gone missing after Rell’s apartment was broken into, and all signs point to the Los Angeles crime scene, so Rell and his buddy, Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key), decide they will take on the gangs and do whatever it takes to get Keanu back.

Will Keanu return to Rell’s loving arms?

How far are Rell and Clarence willing to go?

Keanu is a hilarious parody of crime dramas and action movies that is absurd enough to be funny and smart enough to make you feel guilt free at the end of the movie.

In an epic walk on the wild side, Key and Peele bring to the screen the same chemistry that made them cult comedy favorites on TV by creating good characters put into silly and dangerous situations that bring out the best reactions.

Key makes Clarence the ultimate nerd who can’t be taken seriously as he attempts to act stereotypically tough, even when jamming out to the soulful sounds of George Michael. He is a perfect comedic actor who knows how to use his body, face, voice and attitude to make any line one of the most hilarious you have ever heard.

While Keanu starts to run out of steam a bit towards the end, the rest of the ride is worth the price of admission as these two nerds take an epic journey.

Keanu is rated R for violence, language throughout, drug use and sexuality/nudity.
