What to Know

Critics Consensus

John Lithgow and Blythe Danner are almost enough to save The Tomorrow Man, but their efforts are overwhelmed by a problematic story.

Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Always worth seeing these two actors, but not necessarily in this movie. Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News An apocalyptic septuagenarian romance that leads with its heart rather than its head, "The Tomorrow Man" is warm in spots but never quite comes together. Rated: C+ Jun 7, 2019 Full Review Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail Ronnie? She's just looking for someone to sing Muskrat Love with. If you are as well, this quaint, doting film might be your thing. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Hosea Rupprecht Pauline Media Studies The Tomorrow Man celebrates those in their elder years, who can and do still live full and meaningful lives in so many ways... Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review The ingredients for something unique and special are evident, but ultimately the characters' colorful (and wildly different) personality traits seem more important than what happens when you put them in close proximity. Rated: 2/4 Jul 28, 2020 Full Review Matt Cipolla The Spool Interactions begin to carry an unjust cynicism later on, and while that would be fine elsewhere, Jones's script is too twee for its darker moments to coalesce.

Rudy T A nice movie about real people with real issues. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/21/19 Full Review Deborah R What a waste of two talented actors. The characters were empty, the plot was lame and lifeless. I want my two hours back! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/11/19 Full Review genie m Excellent! Some get stuck in the past and some waiting for the future. You’ll never know when you meet someone who makes you present. Loved it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/19 Full Review Constance Smith The actors saved this movie. My companion and I thought the nuclear explosion ending was terrible. Far better would have been a loving resolution and a beautiful cruise or trip to Paris with the proceeds of the (joint) garage sale. At this age, life is short... lessons learned should show good consequences, not terror. A for acting D- for script. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/04/19 Full Review Patricia T S-L-O-W. Didnt make any sense. Pointless. Two hoarders find each other? Is that the plot? Waste of great acting talent. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/19 Full Review joanne Rawson I enjoyed the movie. Very every day feelings, between an older couple. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/19 Full Review Read all reviews
