Thanks to the groundbreaking work of modern tv legends, Key and Peele, cat's finally have an action hero to look up to. I saw John Wick and thought it all fell apart in the first act - who would start a gang war because of a lousy dog?! But a cat in the titular role? Now you have my attention!

I have to admit that this movie was a bit of a disappointment after seeing a number of the Key and Peele YouTube skits, most of which are pretty good (i.e. Substitute Teacher). Although the movie has a solid premise, none of it felt believable. Due to this I found myself caring very little about the characters, good or bad. Subsequently, the use of dumb humor makes the characters seem unintelligent, which leads to a loss of interest with the story-line. There were a few funny moments but nothing that stood out as hilarious. Seemed like they were trying too hard to be funny by acting ridiculous, rather than by writing quality jokes.

So there's not much plot originality here once you get past the kitten ("And then these suburban black guys have to speak ebonics with drug dealers! It's like a fish out of water action comedy!"). But the dialogue and performances are what you would expect from these guys: pitch perfect. The comic moments are natural, character driven and - yes - hilarious. Plenty of film references, plenty of laughs. So when it veers into silly or familiar territory, you're willing to go along for the ride. Basically, it had all the low moments and high moments of a K&P episode, which - on the whole - was a good thing.

I love comedy and my wife tolerates that so when I can get her to watch a comedy with me, I am really hoping she will like it. Once we finished the movie the very first thing she said was "boring" and sadly I have to agree with her. If I had not read in the film synopsis that the main character had just suffered a breakup with his girlfriend, it would have been easy to miss. That part was very much rushed and not well developed. And that is how the rest of the movie went. It was like a series of skits strung together most of which were not very well developed and only loosely tied together. I really wanted to like this movie ... which for me made it tolerable. It was a bit humorous at times, but no real LOL moments ... simply a few chuckles once in awhile. The best part of the movie was the cat and they did do a few creative things with the cat, but other than that this is not a movie I would ever watch again or recommend to a friend.
