Everyone loves kittens on YouTube, right? Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, the comedy duo Key and Peele, hit the pop-culture target when they made an adorable kitten the focus of their big screen debut. Comedy/action movie “Keanu” focuses on a catnapped kitten named Keanu who is so cute even hardened drug lords covet him.
Key and Peele have a deserved reputation for brilliantly biting satire and inspired cultural commentary that often explodes racial stereotypes, adopting a variety of characters in five-minute sketches on their recently-ended Comedy Central cable TV show. Unfortunately, although there are some hilarious comedy moments, the comedy is intermittent and the duo fail to transition their comedy to a longer format, making it a disappointing debut.
“Keanu” starts out with comic promise, with pop-culture jokes and movie references.
