Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Keanu (2016)





Directed by: Peter Atencio

Written by: Jordan Peele & Alex Rubens

Starring: Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, & Tiffany Haddish







Adorable Keanu, the kitten, is jumping from owner to owner.  When two out of town killers kill his owner, he is able to escape and find his way to Rell (Peele), a lonely weed smoker.  Unfortunately, one day Keanu is stolen and Rell can't move on without him.  Him and his cousin, Clarence (Key), track down Keanu and have to pretend to be thugs in order to get their cat back.

Despite the adorableness of the cat, this movie is not interesting.  I wanted to leave while watching it; I was that bored.  Most of the time I really was just looking for the cat.  But since he is kidnapped (catnapped?), he isn't there with the two main protagonists: Rell and Clarence.

The story is flat and there are some sub plots to provoke the story more, but it's unsuccessful.  Plus seeing Peele and Key as thugs isn't believable.  It is also not believable that people would actually believe that they are thugs.  1 popcorn, unfortunately.
