Amazingly quirky and different

A few years before JUMP TOMORROW was filmed, the same leading man (Tunde Adebimpe) starred in a shorter version of this script entitled "Jorge". I have not seen the original film, so I cannot base my review on it but I was so taken by JUMP TOMORROW that I'm going to try to find a copy of this 30 minute short.Adebimpe very ably plays a Nigerian-American (George) who is a very odd man, indeed and I loved his low-key performance. In many ways he's a total geek and it's nice to finally see a Black nerd in a film who is NOT "Steve Urkel"! During most of the film, George is very quiet and shy--part of which is due to his introverted personality and part is due to his lack of enthusiasm for a pending arranged marriage. This film is about his trek from home to Niagra Falls to be wed.Along the way, he meets up with a very strange man (Gerard) who is suicidal and desperately in need of a friend. While George is in a hurry to get to his wedding, he is too decent a man to leave Gerard in his emotional condition. So, they travel together cross country to the wedding and they both become very unlikely friends.There's MUCH more to this movie that this--including a tough to believe but nice romance that occurs between George and a new lady--again, someone who seems so unlike George in almost every way. While this aspect of the film is a tad predictable, the performances and dialog are so fresh and unusual that the film held my interest throughout. As a result, I strongly recommend you see this romantic-comedy if you are looking for something different from the usual Hollywood offerings.

Carpe Diem!

"Jump Tomorrow", which roughly translates to "carpe diem", is a romcom indie which creates an unlikely duo and then sees if it can get them together against all odds. He's big, black, socially inept, and about to be married. She's petite, Latin, fiery, and taking her boyfriend home to mom. On the downside, this film is a slow starter with a low budget and a distinct absence of star power and tinselization. On the upside, it is crisp, creative, coherent and imbued with subtle warmth and charm. Those in the mood for some low cal but tasty romcom fare might want to give this little semiprecious "gem" a chance. (B)

Moments and love that's meant to be for two (be-spectacled) persons - chance and coincidences

There's actually a French-Canadian film titled "Chance or Coincidence" aka Hasards ou Coincidences (1998), written and directed by Claude Lelouch (of "A Man and A Woman" 1966, "Les Miserables" 1995) with the lead character played by his partner Alessandra Martines. It may be Lelouch's usual esoteric charming style, yet it's an endearing film with layers of imaginative drama, dashes of life philosophy, the eternal man & woman relationships, 'travelogue' cinematography and jazzy music."Jump Tomorrow," written and directed by Joel Hopkins (his debut feature 2001), has all the above ingredients at an easy attainable level: I really like the music choices incorporated into this light and fanciful road movie, how the different vignettes somehow linked by chance and coincidences. It's an endearing romantic comedy. The choreographed impromptu moments, of 'ladybug' love a-flourishing so naturally - even the wedding ceremony scene, how the groom and his bride confessed and happily trotted out the church leaving the congregation still seated in awe (dumbfounded). The whole 97 mins. just flow so congruently together. Conflict/arguments, second thoughts, pause/rethinks, dance a little, eat & drink some, more energetic dance, rendezvous in quietness, change of minds, lost and found, split of hearts, 2 hearts unite, sharing a phone booth in the rain. So charmingly enjoyable. There is subtle poetry in the framing of shots/angles, the repeat of symbolic imagery here and there. The cast is marvelous: Tunde Adebimpe is George (Jorge) - don't let his looks or deadpan face/voice fool you, what an interesting central character. Natalia Verbeke is Alicia - the object of the opposite attraction, ladybug enchanted. Hippolyte Girardot is Gerard - the indispensable 'road shadow/angel' to George, prompting/rescuing George in his heart's pursuit. James Wilby is Nathan (companion to Alicia) - practically a cameo role, poking fun at himself - a lax and disheveled Wilby we seldom get to see. Brief but welcoming: Abiola Abrams is Sophie, George's (Spanish) understanding fiancée. Patricia Mauceri is Consuelo, Alicia's (lively) widowed mother. Gene Ruffini is the wistful (deafly) observant 'old man' of Consuelo's household. I caught the film on cable (Encore) Love Stories channel, and repeatedly enjoyed it as it's shown again. It's also available on DVD. The film was an expanded version of a 30 mins. B/W short that Hopkins made in 1998. Perhaps my thorough enjoyment of "Jump Tomorrow" is that I was unaware of the short (which had rave reviews). If you feel like a dose of fanciful romantic (road) story for a relaxing relish, check out "Jump Tomorrow."
