Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

ThurstonHunger Well this film I think is more about sighing than laughing...Saw the preview of this long ago, in a lifetime before kids, and back then thought that my wife and I would enjoy this film. Finally watched it recently and for me the film held up its part of the bargain.I think some of the disappointment for this film is a bit heavy-handed for a very indie film from a first-time director. The film is somewhere between quaint and cute, and there is a time and place for that, no? The french version of Cupid was a bit trying on my nerves, but absolutely essential...and even he is given his epiphany, as are the male and female romantic interests, the initially wrongly-aimed arrows of love. They are both exotic on the outside, but all too familiar. It may be that the mute uncle says the most, but then less is often more.Still, I think for many this film will have an appeal, as many people feel that they are on the wrong track of the wrong life at times. Having the male as the demure one also should have made this more appealing to my wife, but for some reason she did not get caught up in the film. I thought he was exceptionally well cast, and while he's probably nowhere near that awkward in real life, he certainly tapped into a neurosis as old as the Euphrates.The Walter Mitty fantasies that George/Jorge uses for his form of losing himself worked less as comedy for me, but more as an underscoring of George's lack of ownership of his own life.Many of the films loose ends were nicely tied together, and using Niagara Falls as the climactic setting, was a crucial cliché. Taking the plunge was well paralleled.I see the next film from this director had him working with Dustin Hoffman, I'll check it out hopefully. But perhaps director/writer Joel Hopkins was not the indie wunderkind (or wunderBrit) I suspected. As mentioned in another review, he did license "Instant Karma" for a pivotal scene (and the words worked quite well I thought...).Anyways that film looks like it touches on the despair and redemption of love too, so I'll try to entice my wife to watch that with me.6.5/10 Thurston Hunger

tkim14 I've given up trying to rank movies with anything systematic or consistent. Now, all i ask myself is, what did i feel? Something about this movie had tremendous heart, and feeling, and it stayed with me well after the credits. Most likely it was Jorge and his earnest efforts at love. He's such a quirky, odd, adorable character.The comedy is not self conscious, and is mainly poker face Jorge trying his heart out to win people over. I love following characters like Jorge, people who don't need Hollywood explosions and sex scenes to tell the audience what he is feeling or what he's about. It's the subtle gestures, the way he hip checks the girl in the face when he leaves the boat, or the way he puts on a tie, these nuances say everything about him. Maybe that's what i liked, the way the movie didn't pander and really respected the viewer and trusted us to pick pick up on these things. Anyways, i loved it.Me llamo es Jorge!

tracyoquinn This is an outstanding film, everyone gave a wonderful performance and they were obviously having a good time also. It did not have to compete with the set locations or special effects. The lead actor who played George had never acted before, are you kidding me? Hard to believe how much fun this movie was. If you have missed this movie you missed a comedy gold mine- like a certain cast member taking a bath in a champagne glass! This movie needs to be re-released or something, it did not get the credit it deserved.As in reply to an earlier post, I do not think the story line referred to the wonders-of-a-Latin-American-family-making-your-life-worth-living as much as it showed how wrong it was to base all of your actions in your life on the opinions of family members that seemed more concerned with appearances than with you. Alicia's family was not worried about the fact that she was backpacking across the country with a pretentious, conceited white guy-that was her business. They were just glad that she was home and proud to share their home and culture with her friends. George could see this was how family was supposed to be and this was a safe place to open up. Also introduced him to more of Alicia's charms I must admit. But still all in all, she could have been Polish or Israeli for all that-it was still a welcoming family. Can they help it that Latin Americans are just more fun than your average Nigerian? (kidding!)

vostf Among the good ideas that make that film funny I would pick the one with 'Jorge' embodying a true macho in some telenovela. I think this is definitely the most effective dodge of Jump Tomorrow. Some others are quite funny too (even the cliché crazy Frenchy). But it lacks rhythm on the whole. It's like your hear a good joke, call a buddy to tell it and then the next joke is just cooking.Funny but it could have been directed a lot more lively.
