Don't you just love tough movie broads? You know, the street-talking, wise-cracking, hard-drinking cop-kind that weigh about twenty pounds--twenty SKINNY pounds, and that's with a pocket full of rocks--but can still toss around guys three times their size? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy role-reversal about as much as the next guy. Unfortunately, the "macho-man with breasts" character rarely works--especially if she doesn't really HAVE breasts. Queen Latifah would have done better that this Beth Kennedy person, and for so many reasons.But even if you can get over the dime-store Dirty Harriet...sorry; this still isn't much of a flick. Way too heavy on the violins and melancholy piano scores, for one thing--in other words, schmaltz. And of course any science was just incidental, since all that continuum-twisting was just a device to advance the tear-jerking plot. But when the kid-grown-up-into-multiple-murderer meets same-kid-AS-a-kid, and starts acting all sensitive, like (wow!) A BETTER FATHER THAN THE ACTUAL FATHER...please.All right, there was a little humor. Like Corbin Bernson's line: "This is the future; this is SERIOUS!" And Mom the Elder was a real hoot, for the most part; kudos to Jeanne Cooper for that.But overall, I can't really give this bit of transparent PC misandry (look it up; but you better have a REALLY unabridged dictionary) more than four stars. And that's with a tail-wind.

I really like Science Fiction, and time-travel stories in particular. Therefore I had high expectations when I saw Tomorrow Man in the video store. I was VERY disappointed!The plot was transparently obvious and the writing was wooden at best! Most of the characters were so two-dimensional they could have been cardboard cutouts.The "time patrol" (or whatever it was called) has lots of potential as a plot device. Unfortunately, none of it was realized in this movie.Don't waste your time or money!

I am not sure if I was more shocked by how bad the movie was or by how many good reviews in the commentary area of IMDB this film has been given.Yes it is a low budget film - and yes certainly one can live with a decent story that has really basic cheesy effects - but I must disagree with many of the reviews I have read because the acting and the dialogue in this film are absolutely horrible.I kind of got the impression Corbin Bernsen was doing a friend a favour by spending what looked like two days of his time shooting the film.My recommondation for anyone who is thinking of renting or buying this DVD - don't! Find something else, anything else - because no matter what other film you chose it can't be any worse this film.

I liked this movie, it had a great plot and an average direction. Maybe the direction was not that bad, it was a low budget film, therefore maybe that had turned down the chances to be a big hit. Fantasy/Sci-fi friends go for it, others, you're gonna spend a nice evening with it. In overall, 7/10.
