Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern
The silliness of Jump Tomorrow takes your breath away, and I mean that as high praise. Read full review

VarietyDavid Rooney
Hopkins 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. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyJohn Patterson
One of the sweetest comedies in a long time, which doesn't mean it's sugary or fey. Read full review

New Times (L.A.)Luke Y. Thompson
The acting is superb across the board, especially from Adebimpe. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
Transcendently kitschy, trippingly funny fairy tale, which has a surprising amount of psychological insight and a dance number to die for. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
Many 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. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
The 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. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker
At times a bit stilted, a common quality of first-time directors who try too hard to sculpt every scene, but it's refreshingly bereft of slick cynicism and smart-ass snideness. Read full review

Miami HeraldConnie Ogle
A quirky romantic comedy with a distinct and pleasing retro feel. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
A light and extremely likable comedy -- just what the doctor ordered right now. Read full review

Chicago TribuneRobert K. Elder
Dry and irreverent, Jump Tomorrow plays like a Hal Hartley ("Henry Fool") comedy with a lighter tone and more laughs. Read full review

Village VoiceAmy Taubin
The relationship between the hysterical Gerard and the careful, compulsive George is classic screwball material and more compelling than the relationship between George and Alicia. Read full review

The New York TimesA.O. Scott
The sweetness at the core of the raggedy low-budget romantic comedy Jump Tomorrow is hard to resist. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
The performances are extremely good, and the tone maintains a droll continuity throughout. Read full review

New York PostJonathan Foreman
Quirky and good-natured, it makes the most of an unknown but able and refreshingly international cast. And for a low-budget indie, it looks remarkably good and moves along with real snap. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
An enjoyable trip, as long as you don't mind traveling light. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
Delightful mix of swinging '60s style, road movie conventions and age-old romantic comedy tropes that coasts along on little more than charm, and does it delightfully. Read full review

Mr. ShowbizKevin Maynard
Just try not to smile while watching Jump Tomorrow. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
There's a certain breed of annoying indie movie in which a character's shyness is portrayed in a manner so coy that it becomes a reverse form of exhibitionism. Jump Tomorrow is that kind of movie. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
The story is fluff, but it's mostly appealing. Read full review

Boston GlobeScott Heller
The movie feels padded. And Hopkins's deft touch as a writer and director leaves him when it comes to casting. Read full review
