Leave your thoughts about Tomorrow, When the War Began.
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...despite the R-rating, this isn't really a movie for grown-ups, Tomorrow When the War Began can't be completely dismissed as a teen movie either. It's a curious thing, with sleek, fluid action set pieces and moments that approach - then bungle - grace. |
