Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele in Keanu (2016)
Clarence and Rell are two cousins who live in the city but are far from streetwise. When Rell's beloved kitten, Keanu, is catnapped, the hopelessly straight-laced pair must impersonate ruthless killers in order to infiltrate a street gang and retrieve the purloined feline.

    • Trivia
      The cat calendar photos include a parody of Point Break (1991), which starred Keanu Reeves.
    • Goofs
      In some early scenes where Keanu is running, the running cat is obviously older and larger than the kitten seen during the rest of the film.

    Thin and Over-Stretched, This Concept Doesn't Have the Legs for Feature-Length
    Key and Peele, in their first starring vehicle, play a pair of soft suburban dudes who somehow find themselves acting like thuggish, grizzled killers to retrieve a stolen kitten (the titular Keanu). It's a terrible screenplay, but at least the laughs are there for the first act. After that, it falls into endless re-hashes, basically telling the same two or three jokes against a different backdrop for the length of the picture. I loved these guys on TV, but Keanu doesn't do a great job of highlighting their versatility and eventually goes beyond satire to become exactly the type of movie they're lampooning. Would've made a hilarious five-minute fake trailer on the small screen, which may shine a light on the type of growing pains to expect if they continue this transition to feature-length material.
