Key and Peele Save a Kitten

'Keanu' is the first feature film from the hilarious duo of Key and Peele. I've enjoyed their brand of comedy, from watching their sketches. These guys have always been consistent. Thankfully, 'Keanu' keeps in step with their previous work. I laughed fairly consistent through the whole film. The simple premise is used up for all it's comedic worth, but not to the point of running out of material. Much focus is on the dynamic between the two leads. These guys are a terrific on-screen pair. Their clever dialogues are so on-point that they singlehandedly carry the movie without the need for big gag set-pieces found in most comedies. My enjoyment of them never wavered and the story was at least sufficient enough to surround them with some purpose. At times, certain scenes would put a hold on the funny. There were a few moments of uneven tone when advancing certain relationships. The final act loses a bit of steam near the very end, as well. Other than that, I had a fun time. Fans of comedy, in general, will find something to like here. Oh, and that cat might just be the single cutest feline I've ever seen in a movie.
