Leave your thoughts about Jump Tomorrow.
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternThe silliness of Jump Tomorrow takes your breath away, and I mean that as high praise. |
| Boston GlobeScott HellerThe movie feels padded. And Hopkins's deft touch as a writer and director leaves him when it comes to casting. |
| L.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonOne of the sweetest comedies in a long time, which doesn't mean it's sugary or fey. |
| OffoffoffJoshua TanzerFresh points of view and lovable characters make Jump Tomorrow more than just a formula romance. |
| Phantom TollboothJ. Robert ParksIf you're in the mood for a quirky romantic comedy, skip America's Sweethearts and go see Jump Tomorrow instead. |
| VarietyDavid RooneyHopkins delivers a genuinely charming example through the generosity and affection with which he treats his characters, a racially and culturally mixed bunch that could have seemed schematic and forced. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe plot unfolds with the gradual richness of something by Eric Rohmer, who has the whole canvas in view from the beginning but uncovers it a square inch at a time. By the end of Jump Tomorrow I was awfully fond of the picture. |
| New Times (L.A.)Luke Y. ThompsonThe acting is superb across the board, especially from Adebimpe. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorTranscendently kitschy, trippingly funny fairy tale, which has a surprising amount of psychological insight and a dance number to die for. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasMany try but few succeed as well as writer-director Joel Hopkins with his beguiling first feature, Jump Tomorrow, in giving a fresh spin to '30s screwball comedy. |
