    John Lithgow and Blythe Danner are so natural and endearing in this gem of a film. The direction and writing are seamless and it was a pleasure to venture into their world. I had recently heard about the movie and was surprised that I did not know about it's theatrical release. The reviews were less than stellar so I decided to watch an interview with the director Noble Jones. I feel sometimes you can get a sense of if the film will be worthwhile by listening to the director who is also the writer speak. I found Mr. Jones to be a very unpretentious and low key interviewee, completely different from typical Hollywood directors, so i felt he probably had something interesting to say in his film. He did. So all in all a lovely film about two people who find love late in life and have a very real relationship. Interesting character studies. Shot in Rochester, NY, the scenery is lovely.

    I like both John Lithgow and Blythe Danner, so I'm a bit biased. I liked this quirky film.

    The Tomorrow Man is a fresh approach to the struggles and challenges of aging. The man here is afraid of the present and gets ready for a future he may not have, and the woman he loves lives in the present but is surronded by the chaos she creates. They both need each other because they complete each other. It's a well acted film that encopasses the world of old age, as some of us get orderly without enjoying the present, and some of us live in the present forgetting that a minimum of precautions should be taken "just in case." But the fact that Hollywood put the main light on the old rather than the young actors pressured by the look rather than by the soul; that fact I found encouraging and a step toward a more mature cinema. I hope Hollywood will keep at is and show what old actors can give.

    This is such a great movie and it's very relevant to what's going on in the world right now. I doubt that Blythe Danner or John Lithgow realized how powerful this movie was going to be but I'm so glad I found it, because I'd never heard of it before. It's a movie that needs to be seen by more people

    Lithgow and Danner have chemistry, and its whimsical, eccentric story is the kind that will look extremely appealing in trailers. However, in truth, the story seems of no consequence and you finish the movie wondering what even happened.

    John Lithgow and Blythe Danner are an old couple, one's a doomsday prepper and the other a hoarder. It's a cute little romantic drama with some slight comedic elements. Nothing too flashy here, it's a simple premise really. Did not expect that ending to happen though, that's the only thing that kinda caught me by surprise.

    Cast was good and great chemistry between Lithgow and Danner. However, the plot was simply full of gaps that did not necessary connect with each other. The story would be better if there were more emphasis on Ed's relationship with family. Sloppy script that does not allow a message to be clearly conveyed.

    This was a slow paced movie but it has its moments. It is a love story about two senior citizens, both with their own unique quirks. I can tell you, I was definitely surprised by the ending.
