I really liked this film. It was entertaining and it was funny! And I must say that most of the comedies I have watched I did not find funny at all, but really at all. This one was funny almost the entire time - especially those George Michael references to the Faith video and songs which were played in the car. And I must say I wonder what George Michael thought about the film and use of his songs! And just because it is George, somehow I expected the guy to reveal himself as gay at the end of the film ( or earlier) but I guess I assumed wrong.
The two main guys were really funny. I do not know them from other films, but, here, they were good.
The cat was really cute too and the thing with a calendar was awesome! Really creative photos!
This gets nine rating from me. It was funny, entertaining, properly paces ( not too slow or too rushed) and references to other films and persons were hilarious.

Quite good!
cute kitty but needs to be funnier
Assassins (Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key) shoot up a drug factory. A kitty escapes. Rell Williams (Jordan Peele) is depressed after getting dumped by his girlfriend. He is lifted up by finding the kitty on his doorstep and he names her Keanu. His cousin and best friend Clarence Goobril (Keegan-Michael Key) needs to man up for his wife Hannah (Nia Long). Rell's home is ransacked and Keanu goes missing. Small time dealer Hulka (Will Forte) points the finger at a local gang. The guys take on gangster persona "Tectonic" and "Shark Tank". They meet Hi-C (Tiffany Haddish) and leader Cheddar (Method Man) who mistakes them for the assassins Allentown Boys.
Firstly, the kitty is really cute. The guys have great chemistry. The ridiculous premise is set up for outrageous humor. There are some cute laughs at times but it doesn't stay at a high enough level. It's funny skit material but it doesn't fill out. It's a little thin. The movie tries to add a couple of comedic performances from Will Forte and Anna Faris. They only really hit singles rather than home runs. The movie needs to be more ridiculous. It needs to take on the gangsta genre in a deeper way. The guys are capable of more.
Kool Kitten
Rell (Jordan Peele) is a slacker just dumped by his girlfriend when suddenly a cute kitten shows up which cheers him up. He calls the kitten Keanu. When Keanu goes missing he gets his cousin Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key) to get the kitten back. Clarence is a nice guy whose wife has gone for the weekend
It turns out a local drugs gang might had mistakenly taken Keanu so Rell and Clarence adopt a gangster persona to get in with them. However the two then fall foul of two hit men the Allentown Boys.
This is a rather a hit and miss action comedy with an absurd premise which makes little sense. I felt it was too uneven, rather undeveloped but it gets better as it goes along. Probably when George Michael starts singing Faith in a hazy drug induced dream sequence where Keanu speaks with the voice of Keanu Reeves.
