Our next Rialto Recommends definitely falls into the category of "forgotten indies." Released in 2001 after debuting at the Sundance Film Festival JUMP TOMORROW is a light-hearted romantic comedy that charms with its whimsy and sweetness. When shy, straitlaced George (Tunde Adebimpe) meets vivacious, adorable Alicia (Natalia Verbeke), he's instantly smitten -- which puts his imminent arranged marriage in jeopardy. He vows to do the right thing, but then he falls in with Gerard (Hippolyte Girardot), a lovesick, voluble Frenchman who overcomes George's sense of propriety and takes him on a meandering road trip to amour. The Philadelphia Inquirer called JUMP TOMORROW "Sweet-natured and goofy and funny in all the right places." While the Seattle Times said "A sweet, funny story about love that, with the help of an excellent cast, is one of the nicest surprises of the year." JUMP TOMORROW is available to rent for a modest fee from Amazon.
