(Culture clash comedy)

Having never seen comedians Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Kay’s Comedy Central TV show, we had no idea what to expect in this culture-clash comedy about two nerdy buddies who get involved with some bad drug dealers while searching for Rell’s stolen cat named Keanu.

Key and Peele live a normal middle-class life, knowing little about the lifestyles of their “brothers” living in the darker world of gangs and drugs. All they want is the cat back.

The movie is filled with racial stereotypes, cultural differences and low humor. While Key and Peele have a few funny moments, the plot is thin, with violence, chases, trips to strip clubs and lots of drugs.

The best actor in the movie is the cat, or cats who played the part of the clever cat that escapes from the bad guys and saves our heroes.

Rated a big R, with profanity, lots of usage of the N word, violence, sex, nudity and drugs.
