Tomorrow Is Today (2006)

Tomorrow is Today will be remembered for many todays and tomorrows.

This is a truly heartwarming movie that shows us all about overcoming and that we can face some things in life that seem hopeless. Grief, lossand healing are blended in such a way that compassion rules. I thought the acting was tremendous. The character Julie was extremely believable, and Greg was devastatingly real in his portrayal of his troubled life and times. I left feeling I'd just had a wonderful gift in being able to watch Tomorrow is Today. The dialog is beautifully written, and the actors, who are until now to me unknown talent, put their heart and soul into it. The scenery and settings were effective too, and the cinematography really good. Everyone involved in the movie should be very very proud, because it is a real winner. Thanks to all of them for creating it.

A rare and inspiring holiday film that provokes deep discussion. Well done!

Touching, sensitive, and a great alternative to the usual holiday fare. This is a beautiful film with a refreshingly talented cast. It has a difficult task of presenting a very sad story so that it is still uplifting and appealing to viewers at a time reserved for happy films. I think the writing is amazing, and the fact that this is a family film (with careful communication between parent viewers and younger child viewers needed)created by a family of filmmakers increases the magic and the obvious care and love that went into it. I am very happy to have been exposed to this movie! So often at holiday time we get only epics or horror films for the teens or goofy comedy movies or cartoons or romance movies that are very light and fun, but it is so rare that a film comes out that has substance, meaning, and a theme of such pure love that can carry and elevate it to a memorable place in people's hearts.
