Warner Bros. Home Entertainment let it be known this past
week that director Peter Atencio’s comedy starring Key and Peele, Keanu,
will be making its way to the home entertainment market place on Aug. 2 as both
DVD and Blu-ray product offerings.
The ARR comes in at 95 days and ticket sales from its
pre-Memorial Day theatrical run totaled $20.5 million.
When Keanu is taken hostage, no not THAT Keanu, but Keanu
the cat, Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key) and Rell (Jordan Peele) spring into
action and assume the personas of street thugs to convince the “catnappers”
that crime doesn’t pay. Of course
things for the boys go south from there as they are mistaken for the ruthless
killers know as the “Allentown Boys” (who do a bit of their handy work during
the film’s opening sequence).
A deal is worked out, help provide the muscle on a dangerous
drug deal and Keanu will be returned.
If you are a fan of Key and Peele, then all the plot you are
going to need is a missing cat and some alternate identities — which the comic
duo deliver in spades — to make for 99 minutes of pure fun. They even got that other Keanu to do the
voice of his namesake in a comedy sketch that can easily stand on its own.
Bonus nuggets include a gag reel, deleted scenes and the
featurette titled “Keanu: My First Movie.”
In other release news this week from Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment, Aug. 16 marks the DVD debut of the fourth installment in the
studio’s “Cinderella” film series.
Titled A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits,
it follows A Cinderella Story (2004, with Hilary Duff), Another
Cinderella Story (2008, with Selena Gomez) and Cinderella Story: Once Upon a
Song (2011, with Lucy Hale), with Sofia Carson taking over the updated
Cinderella persona.
Bonus goodies for this direct-to-video release include
deleted scenes, a gag reel, a trio of featurettes — “Style#n Cinderella,” “Get
Your Glam On” and “How to Get Loose” — plus two music videos, “Do You” and “The
Cinderella Mash.”
