Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Ricky Haas (saahdrahcir) The people behind this show must have tried extremely hard for the general public to hate it, and, consequently, to earn it's rightful spot on the canceled television show list of 2010. It was truly depressing— not the fact that it was canceled, but the show itself.I get the whole concept, and it was a great idea… it was just executed very poorly. One of the major problems I had with the show was with the character Kenneth Finely, played by Keir O'Donnell. Kenneth was the geek of the graduating class. He had a girlfriend, too. However, after graduation, she broke up with him and started dating a jock named Rolly Marks (played by Mehcad Brooks who had a better role in "True Blood") that enlisted in the army and is now in Afghanistan or some Middle East country. Kenneth's ex-girlfriend has nowhere to live, so she moves in with him. While she's there, he must listen to her play lovey-dovey with her jock boyfriend and catch an awkward glimpse of her flashing Rolly via webcam. To make him feel more optimistic about his life, he goes down to the Sperm Bank to donate… where he finds he cannot have children. A geek is undeserving of this! You lost a million viewers just because of this arc in the story. Nobody except the popular kids in high school would find this entertaining (and by the way, ordinary kids beat out popular kids in demographics).I connected with Kenneth, and felt extremely sorry for him. Forget Romeo, Hamlet, or Oedipus Rex— Kenneth Finely is the most tragic character in human history. After watching the first two episodes, I said, "Forget this." And, apparently, so did the network. It was canceled, rightly so. This show was hyped to the max, and it actually looked really good. Suffice to say, it was disappointing and depressing. Perhaps the show could have been better in the later episodes, but the bombardment of bad news overwhelmed the story and the show ultimately self-destructed… An utter waste of talent, programming, and film.

Cameron Schnell My Generation is a completely fresh and original idea that does more than deliver a story...It delivers a sad truth. This show is Based on the lives of 9 people who all graduated in 2000 and were picked to film their graduation and talk about what their future goals were. The age old "where do you see yourself in 10 years"? And from there the show delivers the classic stereotypes, one wants to be an actress, one a scientist, another a pro athlete, and yet another wants to be a family man...Then from there the show fast forwards 10 years and starts showing what all these people are ACTUALLY doing...with not so surprising results...and I think this is where the show TRULY delivers.I graduated in 2004 but I started high school in 2000 as a Freshman. I remember being asked the same question by so many people "where do you see yourself in X many years". And I always gave the same answer...I wanted to be an actor. Lucky for me, I haven't given up on my dream...I am living in LA trying to act and, although its a major struggle, its completely worth it. But I had so many friends who, when asked that same question, gave equally stunning answers...doctors, lawyers, teachers, musicians...and the sad truth is that I don't keep in touch with any of my friends from high school because none of them went on to do any of those things...Relating this back to the show...this is what we, as viewers, are presented with; a broken circle of friendships derived from the lack of people following their dreams. We are thrust in to this circle where we sit and watch as awkwardly, by several different turn of events, this group is brought back together and they are forced to face the reality that High school is a safety net...a place where heads are filled with false promises and dreams are exploited.To the people who are watching this show and rating it such low scores, are you really that out of touch with life? Do you not see that our world is not a happy place? REAL people's stories don't get wrapped up in hour long episodes...REAL events don't always have happy endings...this show is trying something different and I think it should be praised for that. For My own generation...this show is about as real as it gets...however sad that might be.

AltaireIII My Generation chronicles 9 high school students 10 years after their graduation in Austin, TX. The stereotypical high school groups are well represented. Face it, everyone in high school is part of a group and everyone has a label regardless of how accurate it is.Ten years later all roads lead to Austin even for those who no longer live there. Without going into much detail, the pilot episode manages to give us all a brief back story on each character. An in depth history is not possible for all 9 characters in a one hour show.I found the acting to be authentic and properly reserved. As strangers are rarely forthcoming upon initial introduction, these 9 strangers are the same way. As time passes more is to be learned.My only initial hard knock on this show is nothing was resolved in Episode 1 and perhaps one story line could wrap up with each installment. The story lines that run now don't have the legs to go past 3 episodes. This is cause for concern. Dragging out a storyline is just as bad as ending it too soon.I do look forward to next week's episode and the ones to come. Give My Generation a try. I think you'll want to see more.

alekzd7 Let me first say that as an Austinite who grew up there, half the reason I decided to watch the show when I first heard about it was the fact that it's filmed in my hometown. I'm kind of a fan of the city, and so I try to support it whenever I can. That being said, when I give My Generation a 5 out of 10, you know it's just not that great. Or at least that was my opinion about 10 minutes into the pilot episode. For one thing, the stereotypes of the fictional Greenbelt High School alumni were a little forced, in my opinion. Speaking of the Greenbelt, I think they named the high school that because the people who went there had the most wooden personalities I've ever seen. Seriously, it was like watching a bunch of trees act, these people had very little genuine personality and even less acting ability. Nothing against them personally, they just couldn't really hold up the show. Which leads me to my next issue with My Generation: the storyline itself. Yes, I understand, hell everyone understands that there have been a lot of events in the past decade that, for better or for worse, were extremely influential on American youth. There's no argument there. But I was honestly expecting something a little, I don't know, different. Like a unique spin on the events or something. I just remember a bunch of quick flashbacks showing scenes from 9/11 and then the school jock joining the army. That's not to say that 9/11 didn't create a huge surge in people joining the armed forces, quite the contrary, of course. But the guy's character was never really fleshed out. It was just the narrator giving us this expository dialogue about him joining the army, a few battle scenes, him talking with his girlfriend for a few minutes, and that was it. I never really got a sense for his character. And everyone else, again, was just kind of boring and uninteresting. Plus, the whole storyline of then getting back together was kind of shallow. People longing for high school crushes 10 years after the fact. It was all just very two-dimensional to me. And what about Austin?! That was half the reason I watched the show in the first place (I'm currently living out of state, and so I wanted some nice nostalgic views of the city). At least for what I saw, Austin was maybe shown twice, and even then they were generic skyline shots, not anything interesting that captured the personality of the city, or any of the landmarks, or anything. It was simply used as a location. Don't get me wrong, I like that more films and TV shows are getting filmed here, but it was just treated like any other city. I didn't like that. And just one last thing I gotta say. I hope I'm not being overly stereotypical here, and if I am please let me know and I'll delete this sentence right away. But what exactly was the writer thinking when he came up with a character who's Black and from Austin (a fairly Liberal city), who ardently supports George Bush? Is it me or was that way too ironic? At any rate, just not very impressed at all. I might watch a few other episodes to see if it gets better, but it's no longer a priority on my list.
