i'd say watch it to put a checkmark on that box/so that amazon recommends you something else, but have some bills to pay handy for when you're tired of rolling your eyes.
or who knows, maybe you'll like it. but yes-- christmas vacation, nightmare before christmas, alien, robocop, etc-- but all weak sauce.

Have you ever seen Thumbsucker?
Little indie film from early '00s. Charming and good in kind of a Wes Anderson-lite kind of way. AAAAnyway, Keanu is in that movie, and he's actually quite brilliant. His bad acting works in his favor in his role as a "holistic" zenned out dentist (who's also a pretty good hypnotist). Total surfer dude earth-bro.
And he is just. fucking. hysterical. Seriously. It's like, you can tell he knows he's a pretty shitty actor, if only for this film, and he taps into the innate laziness that being a blockbuster "actor" who has zero acting ability requires to inspire what is really the best performance in the movie.
I recommend it. His part is small, and the film has already been forgotten by anyone who ever knew cared about it, but if Keanu has ever had a "moment," Thumbsucker was it.
