The new Netflix rom-com “Always Be My Maybe” is a cute , enjoyable film — it also boasts the most bonkers Keanu Reeves cameo in the history of cinema.
Spoilers below.
The movie follows childhood friends Sasha (Ali Wong) and Macus (Randall Park) as they have a falling out as teens, reconnect as adults, and eventually fall in love. Like every respectable rom com, there are obstacles standing in the way of their eventual happily ever after — and in this case, it’s Keanu Reeves.
The actor makes his entrance about halfway through the movie as Sasha’s short-lived new boyfriend. The catch? He plays an exaggerated version of himself — Keanu Reeves, a slick action hero who brags about paying for expensive meals using residuals from the “Speed” movies and makes zen statements like “I missed your spirit.”
He cries and shouts “I’m sorry” to the spirit of the cow before eating meat, and he aggressively rattles of names of Chinese diplomats to show off his knowledge.
He’s a mixture of snooty rich guy and a caricature of the media’s perception of Keanu Reeves as the kind of guy who’s so soulful that he makes a speech about the virtues of being mediocre.
Eventually he makes his exit when he gets jealous of Marcus and Sasha’s relationship. Things take a weird turn when he goads Marcus into punching him while they all enjoy a nightcap in his hotel room. Nevertheless, his goodbye is graceful — he responds to the fight by mildly saying, “Well, this has been an unfortunate turn of events. Let me at least get you an Uber.”
So if you haven’t seen the movie, this is why everyone’s buzzing about Keanu Reeves.
“Always Be My Maybe” is now streaming.
