What I liked
Woody is hilarious as Keanu Reeves. His facial expressions, wig, vocal intonations and body comedy really sold it. His Keanu is a nice guy, full of compliments, masculine posturing and effected vocal fry. I cackled every time he bowed and said “Breathtaking to meet you” (which spoiler alert, he says a lot)
Also his use of audience members as stuntmen, line producers and foley artists was delightful. All the more so when they became flustered and uncomfortable.
And of course, the technical aspects of the show were very clever. The use of a toy miniature for “wide shots” for example, and the humorously violent gun and bone crunching sound effects.
As someone who kind of avoids action movies, I loved that he poked fun at all the obnoxious things about them.
But mostly I liked Woody as a performer. His laid backness and confidence gave the show a nice grounding, and made it easy to go along for the ride.

My overall impression
A delightful hour of Keanu Reeves impressions, audience interaction and action movie silliness. Like the straight male equivalent of drag, in the best way
