Don't do it!

Quirky fun, with quirky characters falling in love and second guessing themselves and wondering why they fall in love and second guess themselves; frustrated they consider suicide, luckily a fun Frenchman figures out how to help. For a romantic comedy it's pretty OK. February 4, 2007

Multidimensional Mellotronic Cinema

Jump Tomorrow opens cold, but is warmed over by the stylistic pathos and groovy music.. The director has said his goal was to create a world that implied alternate-reality but doesn't quite force it down our throats. Aided by the protagonist's quirkish clumsiness and initial cubicle drone personality, the running Soundtrack and oddly retro at the modernist lounge designs, the movie succeeds at an extremely oblique sort of "magic realism".

As characters are introduced, interactions occur (in a great combination of slapstick, situational, and deadpan comedy), humanity is added to the film... characters whose singular flaws and stereotypes were embedded to the point of near caricature become sympathetic enough to recognize the human goop beneath. The stylistic devices slide to the background, but are still pronounced enough to maintain that sly otherworldliness.

The resulting movie is most complete-feeling... by the end I had both Smiled and Laughed. Surreal warm fuzzy mellotronic cinema... the best romantic comedy I've seen since High Fidelity (where it succeeds, as with every other good Romantic Comedy, is in taking the cemented stereotypes of the genre and rearranging them to the point where the only recognizable traits are that it is both Romantic, and Comedic, but hardly resembles any other).

i don't know why i loved this movie so much

i saw it on ifc the other night and the only reason i watched it was because tunde adibimpe, the lead singer of my favorite band tv on the radio, is in it. it was pretty much a "chick flick" and it was kinda slow at parts, but it made me feel really happy after watching it. July 26, 2005

LIVE TODAY, JUMP TOMORROW!

How my ratings work:
5 - I really liked/loved it
4 - I liked it
3 - Could've been better/worth a look
2 - Just didn't live up to the potential
1 - Simply aweful

It's very rare these days to find a romantic comedy that is both romantic and funny, I was greatly satisfied with Jump Tomorroe. I remember seeing the short film Jorge by the same writer-director (Joel Hopkins) and it had the same actor who played Jorge (Tunde Adebimpe). All the actors were ejoyable and had great chemistry. The script is funny and often hilarious and the directing is quirky and cool. It's also rare to see and indie film that's PG, most are PG-13 or R, it's amazing. There is some language but only about three maybe four curse words used. Truly remarkable, a must see film. PS, if you can find the short film Jorge definitley see it as well. July 20, 2005
