AVClub: Keegan-Michael Key, a beanstalk of nervous energy, and Jordan Peele, stockier and smoother, fit the profile of a classic comedy duo; they earn plenty of laughs just standing side by side. But they’re also sketch-comedy chameleons, meaning that they rarely settle into a static dynamic. On their brilliant, now-defunct variety show Key & Peele, the two would take turns playing foil for each other, like actors in a two-man stage show swapping parts night to night. Keanu, their first big-screen starring vehicle, finds a way to preserve that role-playing component: Key and Peele appear as ordinary, buttoned-up dudes forced to masquerade as cold-blooded badasses—a premise that allows both to be cutups and straight men, to go wildly over the top and fish-out-of-water reactive, all depending on the scene. The film is a one-joke comedy, but the joke is decent, and it helps that the actors know how to deliver it.
