The gags come fast and furious, but many characters who aren't Rell or Clarence seem to completely switch motivations, or their level of suspicion regarding Rell and Clarence's criminal acumen, depending on what the corresponding scene requires. When the two are briefly mistaken for a pair of terrifying killers (who are also played by Key and Peele), they decide to run with it in hopes of getting Keanu back.
When Keanu vanishes, Clarence and Rell trace his disappearance (with the help of a local pot dealer played by Will Forte) to the drug-dealing gang The 17th Street Blips (the apparent result of a merger of Bloods and Crips). There's some extra business about how Rell has creative aspirations - apparently involving photography - but it's mostly sidestepped to make room for more jokes. Peele plays his friend Rell, heartbroken after a breakup and intent on caring for the little kitten he views as a godsend in his time of sorrow. Key plays Clarence, an uptight family man who just needs to cut loose while his wife is away for the weekend. Yes, Key and Peele are playing characters, but they're mostly just playing Key and Peele, your friends from television. The key is that the characters go from goofy situation to goofy situation, with minimal overlap.Īnd it makes sense that two sketch comedians would follow this format in their big-screen breakout. But it also describes lots and lots of bad ones (like the recent The Boss). That roughly describes some classic films, including everything from Blazing Saddles to less obvious examples like Bringing Up Baby.
#KEY AND PEELE KEANU FULL MOVIE TORRENT SERIES#
To be fair to Keanu and other comedies like it, some of the funniest movies ever made are basically what I've described above: series of sketches that all feature the same characters, with only a nominal attempt to link them together with a larger story. Sketch comedy is taking over the movies Clarence and Rell teach Keanu valuable cat tricks. (At my screening, half the fun was in listening to an audience of full-grown adults melt in the presence of such adorableness.)īut, funny as it is, there's something that holds Keanu back from greatness, and it's something that hurts many big studio comedies made today: the movie's script is merely a collection of loosely connected sketches, and that means it evaporates from memory almost as soon as it's over. Gang wars break out over him, and it is totally plausible. (Yes, the movie nods to the other, more famous Keanu.) You really do believe this tiny feline is the Helen of Troy of the cat world. He perfectly apes action movies and even features a spot-on homage to a famous music video (whose identity I won't spoil).Īnd then there's Keanu the kitten (or, rather, kittens, since several were used in the filming of the movie), who is seriously the cutest cat on the face of the planet.
Key and Peele are terrific comedic presences, with effortless chemistry that seems destined to fuel dozens of buddy comedies.ĭirector Peter Atencio - who also directed the entirety of the duo's Comedy Central series, Key and Peele - is one of the best comedy directors out there when it comes to stylish visuals.
The film, about two guys who fall into the Los Angeles criminal underworld when gangsters steal a kitten owned by one of them, has a lot going for it.
