The television sketch comedy princes Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele seemingly abdicated their crowns at the height of their reign with the intention of tackling other formats (although sticking to making us laugh, rather than straying into more dramatic fare). Fortunately for Keanu, their fist big project after the Key & Peele show, the duo offers up a familiar premise that could have easily been a highlight from the small screen. After the abduction of a stolen kitten named Keanu, the fellas take to the streets, prepared to do whatever it is necessary to retrieve their cute pet. The trailer brings the noise, but can they sustain the vibe for 90-plus minutes? With the right mix of action-thriller skewering and social/cultural digs, Key and Peele just might rescue the genre spoof from itself. (Opens wide Friday) (R) Not screened in time for review
