Keanu's reviews
Media reviews
New York Post
A funny, shambling buddy comedy that mostly serves as a vehicle for our two stars to do what they do best, which is riff on race and pop culture.
Rolling Stone
Even when the laughs don't always snap, Key and Peele are ready with another one or a dozen that do. These dudes really are the cat's meow.
Roger Ebert
If Keanu sometimes comes off as another sketch stretched a little thin, that doesn?t put it in too shabby of company. It may not be as great as 'The Blues Brothers', but it?s up there with 'Wayne?s World'.
The Hollywood Reporter
This may not be adequate compensation for the end of their series, which gave them so many more opportunities to try on new personalities and take one-gag ideas for a spin.
Indiewire
Wildly entertaining in parts, Keanu overstays its welcome and just keeps going, showing the growing pains of sketch comedy drawn out to epic proportions.
The A.V. Club
'Keanu' flirts with really getting into the identity politics implied by its premise; there?s a very funny tossed-off bit in which Clarence and Rell argue about who grew up in a rougher neighborhood.
Entertainment Weekly
Even if it can?t compete with the best highlights from their TV show, Keanu is a solid first step into movie stardom for both Key and Peele.
The Wrap
Still, Key and Peele are such gifted performers with such provocative things to say about race and gender that ?Keanu? merits a look.
USA Today
It?s a sketch-type conceit stretched to movie length that wears thin at times. When the stars are on their game, though, they keep the laughs coming.
Time Out
It?s ironic, but 'Keanu'might be a better movie if it was more like TV: 90 plotless minutes of Key and Peele just goofing around on the mean streets might?ve been something really special.
The Playlist
The duo here settle for an uninspired riff on Los Angeles gang culture, stringing together fish-out-of-water vignettes by using a stray kitten as thread.
New York Times
As the genre machinery chugs along, the bang-bang begins to overwhelm the movie, and the underlying critique gives way to a what-me-worry shrug.
Variety
An initially amusing but fatally overstretched action-comedy that marks a lamer-than-expected big-screen outing for Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.
The Guardian
If there was a strong enough story to latch the jokes on to, Keanu might have worked. As it stands, it reeks of a grossly underdeveloped sketch extended to feature length.
