The Tomorrow Man

The movie starts with some scenes showing us the boring life of an old man. Ed (John Lithgow) is one of those old men in his wrong side of his 60s as he claims it who are proud of themselves for knowing how to use the technology & internet. He lives alone & he watches tv news everyday for a particular reason which we'll understand later in the movie. In the intro we see Ed talking on the phone with his son Brian (Derek Cecil) & complaining to him about how he always wastes his time & that he should be prepared for the unknown future.

As the story goes on he starts to like an old lady. He finds a way to make her notice him & he's as clingy as a teenager in his way. Ronnie (Blythe Danner) had a hard time in which she had lost her young daughter because of a rare disease & also her husband died of a cancer. They start liking & trusting each other & they both have a secret which later they reveal those to each other.

Ed is a man in control of everything & he knows what to do next but as the relationship progresses, he begins to feel the vicissitudes. Noble Jones did an impeccable job in writing & the screenplay seems so interesting. I highly recommend this movie if you wanna see a peaceful movie.

Sweet movie about an elderly couple with their own set of insecurities and obsessions. It was a little refreshing to watch an entire movie without all the vulgarity that is used in so many other films as part of the shock value. This wasn't the fastest moving film, but the acting was good and I'd say they portrayed this particular generation accurately. I used to work with the elderly and much of this was spot on. I wish the ending had a few more details, but I think I got the main idea. Not the best movie I've every seen, but it was still worth the time.

Yeah, I am the wrong side of 60, but if I had someone like that woman, I could make a go of it! Funny in parts, sad in others, but I think well worth watching, especially if you think the world will end soon. I noted the Vegemite in his store room, now that's a man after my own heart! lol If you are a tidy person or a hoarder, then you may also relate to some of it. Cheers

I really liked this movie. it explores the personalities really well. it is relaxing and a feel good movie. some people don't like the ending but i thought it was a nice touch. the acting is excellent. story line very good. time well spent.

John Lithgow, and Blythe Danner gave their all in creating these two oddball characters - Ed and Ronnie. But their efforts just can't save this film. I enjoyed the plot but I just couldn't believe in Ed and Ronnie. For their age they come across as just a bit too simple.

The most interesting character is the goth girl that runs the curiosity shop! And she is seen only briefly.

But this is not a bad movie!
