Claudio Carvalho "Generation Um..." is a pretentious shallow film about nothing. The pointless plot is about the lives of three uninteresting persons that live in New York: John (Keanu Reeves) is an unemployed guy and small-time thief and pimp. The Call-girl Violet (Bojana Novakovic) is a promiscuous drug addicted woman that has slept with at least two hundred men and three women. The call-girl Mia (Adelaide Clemens) is a disturbed woman that saw her father kicking the belly of her pregnancy mother that aborted a baby girl. Violet shags John and Mia and she are best friends. On the day of his birthday, John steals a video-camera and makes footage in the Central park and interviewing Violet and Mia. Then the girls go to a bachelor party. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Sem Destino" ("Without Destiny")

Leon Zap You really have to appreciate Keanu's versatility and man what a role model for those 50 and over for keeping his health and not trying to look 30 but he is. This movie describes a segment of the generation today and their struggles. I think it is relevant. of course I expected poor ratings in IMDb and Netflix.There may be useless scenes but come to think of it they tie many thing together. Also the revelation of John, Violet and Mia occupations surprised me.Also surprised that Sarita Choudhury aging so beautifully and gracefully and I was expecting her to be used more. She and Keanu I think have good screen chemistryBut I think Bojana Novakovic and Adelaide Clemens are to be commended here. The acting and emotions are palpable specially when you have the stoic Keanu to play against.Give it a chance people. if you like movies like Prozac Nation, Girl Interrupted... you would like this.And yes this movie is "Friends" the sitcom, but in a realistic, gritty and dark mood representative of a different NYC demographic.

katoucha I can't believe it has only 4 stars!!! I've just watched the movie. Some people talks about over acting, I don't think so, there's a lot of girls that behave that way. About the camera, well it is supposed to be done by a completely amateur, don't you remember the time you try to film something with your first camera? (I know it wouldn't be actually his first camera, but it is for sure his first professional camera). And the plot, I think people who rated it with 1 star haven't really understood the movie. It's just as simple as a guy who decides to film his birthday and think about his life, his average living day, just that; there's no fantasy, there's no a superhero, there's no a miraculous event that changes his life completely, that's why this movie is so awesome, makes you think how people behave in front of others and how their life really is. I would totally recommend this film, if you are tired of Hollywood's unbelievable stories this is a must see.

Amar Muammar WARNING SPOILER!The story follows John (Keanu Reeves) and his beautiful lunatics, Violet and Mia. one day, John stolen a camcorder from the cowboy festival. after that scene, he began to filming everything he saw and recorded his poor life and his lunatics girlfriends.generation Um... is very confusing plotted. like edited by amateur. the camera movement is very absurd an amateur. the acting? don't hope to much even there's Keanu Reeves with in it. he acting was very bad! Bojana Novakovic and Adelaide Clemens not playing as well their characters. I've seen lot of Keanu Reeves films. but this one is very bad! Lucky you don't watch it yet.Overall. generation Um... is a horrible film filled with bad acting, directing, cheesy, bad camera movement, terrific editing and many more!
