On the surface-level, Keanu explores its (comically absurd) premise through what amounts to a largely bare-bones three act narrative - unlike the richer character story that Key and Peele's fellow Comedy Central sketch comedy breakout star, Amy Schumer, explored in her own full-length writing/starring vehicle, Trainwreck, back in 2015. though fortunately, in the best way possible. For these reasons, it ought to come as little surprise that Keanu in many ways feels most like, well, an extended Key and Peele sketch. Keanu is the first full-length film that was headlined by the pair, in addition to having been co-written by Peele and Key and Peele writer Alex Rubens, as well as directed by Key and Peele series' helmsman Peter Atencio. Of course, that plan doesn't exactly go smoothly, especially once the real out of town crooks in question get wind of what Clarence and Rell are up to.Ĭomedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have earned themselves a loyal cult thanks to their efforts on Comedy Central's acclaimed sketch comedy series Key and Peele (which aired from 2012-2015), in addition to their numerous guest-starring appearances on a variety of TV shows in recent years (including, their recurring role on Fargo season 1). Determined to get his beloved kitten back no matter what, Rell convinces Clarence to help him pretend that the pair are, in fact, a ruthless duo of criminals/drug dealers from out of town that everyone's talking about, so that Chedder will make a deal with them - where, in return for their services, he will give them Keanu (or, rather, the 'gangster pet' they're in the market for).

Clarence and Rell, acting on a tip from Rell's weed provider Hulka (Will Forte), track Keanu to a local strip club, where they find that a gangster nicknamed 'Cheddar' (Method Man) has taken and adopted Keanu as his own.
