The Worst Film Ever

Simply A Masterpiece

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Came to film expecting similar content to Key & Peele standup. Jokes were much thinner on the ground. Plot a bit crazy to take too seriously. Romantic interest being a police officer made no sense (-1) but them going to jail anyway was a nice twist (+1).Rewatch from when I first watched it in Denver, Colorado.

All I can say about this movie is that it's great comedy and I really enjoyed it! This movie was fascinating and I had a burst of laughs during the whole movie which made my day much better. I really recommend this movie.

I've just seen this on a Sunday night. I was in an undemanding mood, and in need of a laugh. What I got was a film which satisfied not just as a comedy but as a fully rounded movie about friendship. There is a heart at the centre of this strangely sweet story, and it's all thanks to the considerable talents of Jordan Peele and Keegan Michael-Key, both instantly likable as the hapless cousins in way over their head. I was surprised by the fresh twists the movie gives which marks it out from the usual fare which has been churned out lately. For starters, the decision to treat the gang members, for which our heroes join, as constructive plot devices for the film and not just background caricatures means we do ultimately care about their fate, especially as each party is able to learn something new about the other. For example, George Michael IS the real OG.There is also a certain emotional edge to the piece too - we see at one point a real personal issue affect one of our duo, and this for me made it more accessible for me to invest in the characters and also show these are people too, which the writers have put some care into.The relative low budget for Keanu is put to good measure as well, with the slow motion shoot-outs fitting in nicely alongside the quirky scenes early on of Peele getting to know the cute feline. Nothing felt too overblown or contrived to fit the context of the scene.The tight supporting cast deserve kudos too. The appearances of Anna Faris and Luiz Guzman do lend more of a B- movie star appeal, but I also loved Will Forte's role as a failure of a weed dealer, constantly being degraded in a series of daft set pieces. Oh yeah and the film star for which the title of the movie lends itself turns up to give some much needed advice to Key in a particular time of crisis.I really liked this movie, for its offbeat interplay between the immensely endearing pair, and their hilarious transition into inept streetwise crime lords. If you need cheering up this ticks all the boxes. It's not a classic by any means, but it doesn't have to be, and is all the better for not making itself out to be more than what it is.

A promising film considering the talent involved however it falls short. Still worth watching for a few laughs here and there. I just feel that if Key and Peele directed this, it would have been funnier. Anyway, the movie is about two friends who go undercover into the ghetto in order to save their pet cat, hilariously named Keanu.. which means cool breeze in Hawaiian. So yeah, the concept behind the movie are right up Key and Peele's wheelhouse. But honestly this film should have been better. I would blame the director but now that I think about it, frankly the writing is lacking the comedic punch needed to make this a classic comedy, which it should have been.
