This movie is either incredibly brilliant or spectacularly terrible – it’s currently the only film on Rotten Tomatoes with a 0% critics rating! Now, you can watch it for free on Tubi. If you’ve ever wanted to see Keanu Reeves in a movie that critics universally panned, here’s your chance – and it won’t cost you a dime.
The movie, Generation Um, had a promising idea – it felt like it could become a beloved indie film. It follows John, a driver for an escort service, and his two friends, Violet and Mia, as they spend a day in New York City documenting their experiences with sex, alcohol, and self-discovery using a stolen camera. While actor Reeves delivers a nuanced performance as John, the script and the film’s self-aware, ‘movie within a movie’ style don’t quite live up to his effort.
Generation Um Wasted Its Indie Darling Potential
This film has a promising idea, but it doesn’t quite work on screen. It feels aimless and forced, trying too hard to be profound. Generation Um focuses more on its characters than on telling a compelling story, and ultimately lacks substance. As one critic put it, the film is slow-going, saved only by Reeves’s naturally understated performance compared to his more theatrical co-stars. Watching it feels like overhearing a conversation you weren’t meant to be a part of – confusing and a little unwelcome.
Viewers generally found the movie Generation Um disappointing despite some promising elements. One person described it as awful, pointing out that it started with a bizarre, five-minute argument about grammar. They felt the director wasted Keanu Reeves’ talent and left them very let down. Another viewer gave up after just four minutes, finding the long, pointless scenes—like watching Keanu Reeves eat a cupcake—unbearable. That cupcake scene, they said, perfectly captured the movie’s overall aimless feel.
