Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
rberdar76 "Tomorrow is Today" is just a really nice story with characters who defy expectation. Well, I shouldn't say "just." When the credits rolled on "Tomorrow is Today" for the first time, I was left wondering what happened to the wicked step-mom, brute sheriff, psycho stranger and punk love rival that I "just knew" were in that movie somewhere.Repeated viewings only left me with more respect for the production.I'll admit that I can be one of those "I told ya so" types where movies are concerned, but in this case I enjoyed watching my expectations defeated over and over again. That was impressive.Maybe that's why I like it so much – the relationship between this movie and this viewer was like two adversaries swinging punches then realizing: hey, I'm cool, you're cool – let's be pals. Of course, this movie didn't even have one of those clichés, even though I "just knew" it coming.It was also a relief to see some straight-forward story-telling, where I could sit back and take in the film's lessons on love, family, friendship and its other observations on the human condition, without my brain having to dodge explosions, bad jokes, CGI critters, product placement, etc. etc. etc. It seems these days I've been standing in the ticket line for a whole lot of etc. etc. etc."Tomorrow is Today" is a nice reminder that it's OK to try out something simple on that great big screen, letting the story, and the characters who inhabit it, work things out for themselves without the disappointments I've come to expect getting in the way.
jackstanley This is an unashamedly romantic, tear-jerking story in the tradition of Love Story. I think Hollywood has been so lost in CGI-epics and not wanting the audience to feel bad for a second (apart from horror - there anything goes) that they haven't produced enough films which let people have a good cry in recent years. From what I've heard this film was made for a relatively small budget though it boasts impressive production standards and beautiful locations. It could be enjoyed on DVD though the scope of the seaside backdrop suggests a big-screen viewing would be more effective. The acting is also very impressive. Hollywood take note, an indie on a much lower budget has outsmarted you once again!
bcali2003 there are all sorts of ways to deal with what life hands you, but scout's insight in 'tomorrow is today' makes us all shed a tear. given nothing less than a raw deal, scout has plenty of reason to give up. i know i would. but this beautiful, young, teenage girl proves endurance does not necessarily strenghten with age. scout's outlook on life is angelic. her optimism contagious. by believing in the eternal, scout proves stronger than grown men. this is the type of movie that you cannot leave without feeling guilty for being so self-consumed in our over consumed world. if only a scout could be present in all of our lives, maybe the world would be a little more grateful. thank you to all who helped create this! i truly believe it should be shared.
Djf011 I saw this film at the Annapolis Film Festival in 2006. It was very well acted, directed, and shot. It's amazing to me that films like this don't seem to find their way to audiences, while there are 800 sequels coming out each year...and countless retreads of 70's and 80's TV shows. It's amazing what Frederic Lumiere has done on an independent budget. I'd like to see what he could do with Fox or Warner or Dreamworks backing him! And the cast was excellent. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of Scout Taylor-Compton in the coming years. I also enjoyed the performance of Ken Arnold, who played her father. Very subtle and understated. Great work. Great film. Thank you.
