Clarence's wife (Nia Long), who has joined their neighbor (Rob Huebel), on a weekend getaway so their daughters could spend time together, urges Clarence to use that couple of days to have some fun and cut loose. When Rell's cousin, Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key), comes by, he's also immediately taken in by Keanu's charms. Keanu's considerable cuteness brings Rell out of his emotional funk and Rell, a photographer, starts creating photos of the kitten in mock-ups of classic movie scenes. Rell (Jordan Peele) quickly and deeply bonds with the kitten, whom he cleans up and names. until he ends up on the doorstep of a depressed man whose girlfriend has just left him. The little guy runs through the streets of L.A. The shooters, a pair of very scary, long-haired, darkly-dressed, ninja-like specters called the Allentown Boys, also take a shine to the kitten, which runs off as the massacre is ending.
The kitten belonged to drug dealer King Diaz, whose place and people were shot-up in that first scene. At the beginning of the film, the kitten avoids injury and escapes the scene of a shoot-out at an illicit drug production facility. The title character is a cute little kitten (actually, one of seven used in filming), which shares his name with a certain movie star, that name meaning "cool breeze" in Hawaiian. The end of "Key & Peele" served as the beginning of Key and Peele's pairing in movies and "Keanu" proves to be a great vehicle for their pop culture aware and racially insightful comedy, not to mention their significant chemistry. That show was critically-acclaimed and award-winning, but underseen by the general public.
Although they have each done projects on their own, these two comedians are best known as a team who met as cast members on MADtv and then starred in "Key & Peele", their own sketch comedy series, which was on television's Comedy Central for five seasons (2012-2015). Although many are already well-acquainted with the duo, the comedy "Keanu" (R, 1:38) is their first feature film together, serving as their introduction to the unitiated. Meet Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.
