KEANUE-Can You Believe the Comic Social Commentary?

Together, Keegan-Michael Key & Jordan Peele make a successful, cultural clash comedy couple.    The comedy duo are simultaneously silly & scathing.  Perhaps their humor is an acquired taste.  If so, it's parody is prescient.  Their farcical racial stereotyping is courageous, outrageous & spot on hilarious.  Key & Peele play cousins Rell & Clarence, mild mannered men who assume the gangster personnas Tectonic & Shark Tank to infiltrate a drug gang in order to retrieve Rell's kitten, Keanue, with whom he's totally smitten. (A silly set-up, but who doesn't like kittens?)  The movie lampoons a bastion of other movies.  The most blazon commentary is aimed at the black man viewed as gun wielding, drug dealing thug.  The homage to honky George Michael just might jump start his flatlined career.  The plot steals heavily from the "Jump Street" undercover buddy pictures.  The major difference is black & white.  Instead of a crime stopping combo of black & white partners, Key & Peele are both bi-racial.  Does this allow more leeway to lambast racial stereotyping?  We can all agree humor is a honed method for breaking down barriers & building communication.  KEANUE is entertaining & socially relevant.  Still, it needed serious slashing.  It would have been better served cut up into scathing comedy sketches.
