A love story built on honest, clever, quiet jubilation--steering clear of mushiness and sentamentalism--JUMP TOMORROW interweaves the lives and dreams of three unique characters. George, aka Jorge (Tunde Adebimpe), is a sweet, shy man with deadpan facial expressions and a monotone voice. But underneath his stoic surface, Jorge is a true tiger with wild dreams and a passion for life. He takes a few days off work to travel to Niagara Falls where he is to meet his bride, Sophie, for a marriage arranged by his African relatives. On the way to Niagara, Jorge meets Gérard (Hippolyte Girardot), an outspoken French man with his heart on his sleeve whose would-be fiancée has just refused to marry him. The two forlorn men are invited to a party by a beautiful, exciting Spanish woman, Alicia (Natalia Verbeke), with whom Jorge falls instantly in love. The rest of the film is a game of leapfrog, with the unlikely--but perfectly compatible--pair of Jorge and Gérard piggybacking Alicia and her spaced out Canadian boyfriend, Nathan, along the highway to Niagara Falls...and beyond. Director Joel Hopkins presents an excellent feature debut with JUMP TOMORROW. Using a bold and playful color scheme, uncandid theatrical scenes involving line dances and fantasy sequences, a relaxed and personal camera technique, and a tangy, lounge music score, the film is visually and emotionally refreshing.

A formulaic road film (about finding oneself) with some possibility of being unpredictable until its predictable sweet ending.

Fresh points of view and lovable characters make Jump Tomorrow more than just a formula romance.

George is one of the great characters in recent memory and, along with the comedy of Gerard and the free-spiritedness of Alicia, the film works on almost all levels.

These are just stock characters without an original thought in their heads.

This unpretentious, entertaining little comedy of culture clashes marks a solid feature debut for British writer/director Joel Hopkins.

Though the lackadaisical style becomes tiresome after a while, the film is ultimately held together by star-in- the-making Adebimpe.

If Jump Tomorrow is any barometer, [Hopkins] should have a bright future.

I loved Jump Tomorrow ... for a heart that beats with wisdom and warmth and nary a trace of contrivance or sticky manipulation.
