Overall Call:
If you are looking for a light fun film with ideas you've seen before but want displayed in an original fashion, check out Jump Tomorrow. Joel Hopkins' first full-length feature is a refreshing break from formulaic Hollywood movies. It is you basic romantic comedy with a delightful indie packaging, sensibility and feel. Most scenes are framed with a still camera and allow the actors to deliver excellent performances. All the leads were outstanding in their realistically awkward portrayals. The films sense of humor was consistent and even though you've seen the basic jokes before some how they are delivered with a freshness and sincerity that made me laugh every time. I went into this movie knowing little about, which was the best way to approach this little film. I highly recommend it.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Great performances by the leads
+ Refreshing sense of humor and style
