PLOT

Recently dumped by his girlfriend, slacker Rell (Jordan Peele) finds some happiness when a cute kitten winds up on his doorstep. After a heartless thief steals the cat, Rell recruits his cousin 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.

Peter 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.

Wendy Ide - The Guardian

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.
