PLOT
Recently dumped by his girlfriend,
slacker Rell (Jordan Peele) finds some happiness when a cute kitten winds up on

Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key) to help him retrieve it. They soon learn that a
thug named Cheddar.
CRITICS
That means
the two wussies need to start acting gangsta, taking street names, and making
deals for a new drug called "Holy Shit," which Cheddar says makes you
feel like "you're smokin' crack with God.

Travers - Rolling Stone
It has all
the hallmarks of a classic Key & Peele sketch, which in the end is its
undoing; even with a 98-minute running time, the premise just can’t sustain a
madcap full-length effort.
David Sims
- The Atlantic
An
initially amusing but fatally overstretched action-comedy that marks a
lamer-than-expected big-screen outing for Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.
Justin Chang – Variety
Cats might
power the internet, but they’re not enough to hold up a two-hour comedy.

OVERVIEW
This is the absolute worst “comedic movie” I have
ever watched. Even neglecting the horrible comedy portrayed, the plot was so
unrealistic and unclear. I have watched so many movies which feature these
incredibly funny guys but this one is a big disappointment. I watched this
comedic duo in the sketch Key & Peele during my childhood which was
absolutely brilliant. The movie begins with these two weird looking people that
murdered everyone in a building to get a cat (not really sure). The cat then
runs away to some guy’s house and instead of the guy putting up lost cat
flyers, he kept the cat. His life then suddenly became a lot better from being
a crackhead because he found a cat...WHAT!!!
That’s not even where the stupidity ends. A group of
gangster’s came to his neighborhood looking for their drug dealer and went to
the cat guy’s house instead…😕😕. Like, how the fuck do they not know
their drug dealer’s house 😒😒. These guys break into the wrong
house and steal his cat…Why??? Then instead of him reporting a theft to the
police after seeing the cat with the gang leader, he started going on hit missions
for them in order to get the cat back.
Is just so stupid a movie.
And was the cat named Keanu just to make a joke about the cat
looking like Keanu Reeves.
