FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
jellopuke The premise is a little stretched in parts, but there's some really great comedy bits in here. Devolves into an action movie at the end, but they kind of had themselves backed into a corner. They didn't take themselves too seriously overall, so you can overlook the fact that Key suddenly became a great shot and had no problem killing after a movie of being chicken. This was a decent comedy and worth watching.
ccman2 This movie was terrible. I didn't even sit through the first hour of it. The plot is way too far fetched, the dialogue being cheesy is an understatement, and the ideas are just wild in a bad way. The only reason I gave it any stars was that it was kind of funny but that's all the good things I have to say about it.
dsalouk Keanu is the epitome of the Key and Peele skits pumped with a larger budget and movie-like steroids. Spear-headed by an experienced director; Peter Atencio, Keanu is a perfect blend of comedy and action. The film funnily revolves around a cute kitten named Keanu whilst two simple suburban men have to build cliché tropes around them to blend in. Key and Peele both show off their amazing acting talent in their different personas. There are repercussions to actions, there are first experiences, and there are strange relationships. All in the name of comedy. A strange fixation on George Michael is a running gag that helps lighten the cliché runaround. Keanu is a simply fun ride.
OneEightNine Media A promising film considering the talent involved however it falls short. Still worth watching for a few laughs here and there. I just feel that if Key and Peele directed this, it would have been funnier. Anyway, the movie is about two friends who go undercover into the ghetto in order to save their pet cat, hilariously named Keanu.. which means cool breeze in Hawaiian. So yeah, the concept behind the movie are right up Key and Peele's wheelhouse. But honestly this film should have been better. I would blame the director but now that I think about it, frankly the writing is lacking the comedic punch needed to make this a classic comedy, which it should have been.
