- 80VarietyVarietyHopkins delivers a genuinely charming example through the generosity and affection with which he treats his characters, a racially and culturally mixed bunch that could have seemed schematic and forced.
- 80L.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonL.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonOne of the sweetest comedies in a long time, which doesn't mean it's sugary or fey.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe plot unfolds with the gradual richness of something by Eric Rohmer, who has the whole canvas in view from the beginning but uncovers it a square inch at a time. By the end of Jump Tomorrow I was awfully fond of the picture.
- 75Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerSeattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerAt times a bit stilted, a common quality of first-time directors who try too hard to sculpt every scene, but it's refreshingly bereft of slick cynicism and smart-ass snideness.
- 67Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe performances are extremely good, and the tone maintains a droll continuity throughout.
- 63New York PostJonathan ForemanNew York PostJonathan ForemanQuirky and good-natured, it makes the most of an unknown but able and refreshingly international cast. And for a low-budget indie, it looks remarkably good and moves along with real snap.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThere's a certain breed of annoying indie movie in which a character's shyness is portrayed in a manner so coy that it becomes a reverse form of exhibitionism. Jump Tomorrow is that kind of movie.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe story is fluff, but it's mostly appealing.
- 50Boston GlobeBoston GlobeThe movie feels padded. And Hopkins's deft touch as a writer and director leaves him when it comes to casting.
