Review:
One of my favourite comedies, this follows a stoner (Jordan Peele) who finds a kitten while grieving a breakup and ropes in his friend (Keegan-Michael Key), a mature straight-laced family man, when the kitten is stolen. The ensuing adventure leads them to pretend to be gangsters to wonderful comedic effect. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t enjoy this movie.
Content notes (may contain spoilers): drugs, some violence, peril for the kitten but no harm
