What You Need To Know:

JUMP TOMORROW is a light romantic comedy about George, an African who has been living in America since his parents died when he was little. When George, a sky and awkward introvert, meets Alicia, a stunning Latino girl, he is instantly smitten, but George is due to marry a childhood friend from Nigeria in four days. That’s when Gerard, a boisterous, lovesick Frenchman, stumbles into George’s life. George has to save the despondent Frenchman from committing suicide at a party where Alicia also is. Gerard decides he needs to repay the favor by seeing how he can get George and Alicia together.

A sweet-natured road movie with a Latin flavor, JUMP TOMORROW is a good first effort for writer/director Joel Hopkins. Some polish would help, although the movie features generally good performances. JUMP TOMORROW is fairly clean, but there’s a couple vague sexual references. Also, George invites a woman to his hotel room, but George falls off the bed in the dark while waiting for the woman when he accidentally sets off the massage mechanism. Nothing else is shown happening in that scene, but its content is enough to give JUMP TOMORROW a caution for older children

More Detail:

JUMP TOMORROW is a breezy little romantic comedy about an African named George who has been living in America since his parents died when he was little. When George, a sky and awkward introvert, meets Alicia, a stunning Latino girl, he is instantly smitten. George, however, is due to marry a childhood friend from Nigeria in four days. That’s when Gerard, a boisterous and lovesick Frenchman, stumbles into George’s life. George takes Gerard with him to a party to which Alicia invited him, but has to save the despondent Frenchman from committing suicide. Gerard decides he needs to repay the favor by seeing how he can get George and Alicia together.
A sweet road movie with a Latin flavor, JUMP TOMORROW is a good first effort for writer/director Joel Hopkins, a New York University film graduate. A little polish would help the movie, although it features generally good performances by its multicultural cast. This movie is fairly clean, but there’s a couple vague sexual references. Also, George invites a woman to his hotel room, but George falls off the bed in the dark while waiting for the woman when he accidentally sets off the violent massage mechanism. Nothing else is shown happening in that scene, but the content there is enough to give JUMP TOMORROW a caution for older children. Inexplicably, there are also 12 strong profanities heard in a song played during the final credits.
