It’s both a feat of whole genius or really the worst film ever made that manages to earn a 0% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. And this 0% film has discovered its approach to Tubi, the place it’s now streaming at no cost. So if in case you have a bucket checklist merchandise of watching Keanu Reeves star in a movie that critics discovered completely nothing redeemable about, now you’ve the prospect—and also you don’t must spend cash to do it.
The movie is titled Generation Um, and its premise appeared promising, as one would assume for what was styled as an indie cult traditional within the making. It’s set in New York City, and facilities on an escort-service driver, John (Reeves), and his two name woman pals, Violet and Mia (Bojana Novakovic, Adelaide Clemens), as they spend a day documenting their escapades in self-discovery, intercourse, and booze with a stolen digital camera. And Reeves undoubtedly brings a sure depth to John—one which, sadly, wasn’t supported by the script, or the meta idea of a movie inside a movie.
Generation Um Wasted Its Indie Darling Potential
It’s a movie the place the plot works higher on paper than in observe, coming throughout as each meandering and contrived, trying to be deeper than it’s. Generation Um is extra of a personality research than anything, although it lacks sufficient real narrative to present the movie any meat on its bones. “It’s a patience-tester, salvaged only a smidge by Reeves’s uncanny ability to remain perfectly still while his co-stars strap on acting school rocket packs and pinball around the frame,” says critic Brian Orndorf. It feels just like the film equal of listening in on different conversations at a celebration—a spot the place you aren’t fully positive of what’s going on, and that you just aren’t essentially needed.
“It had a lot of potential and had some decent parts to it, but you know a movie is bound to be awful when the beginning is literally a 5-minute argument about the past tense of ‘shit’. Well, the director really shat all over Keanu Reeves’ potential in this film, and I was gravely let down,” says one viewer, summing up the viewers’s basic response to Generation Um. Another added, “After 4 minutes of watching Keanu eat a cupcake, I couldn’t take any more long, aimless scenes.” And truthfully, 4 minutes of Keanu consuming a cupcake actually does sum up the vibes of this film as a complete.
