The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Based on some of the other user comments here, there is a chance that "Somewhere, Tomorrow" may appeal to children and teenagers. I'm not in any of those categories, which may explain why I wasn't moved by this movie. For starters, I thought it was poorly paced, frequently taking much longer to get to key moments than it would in another movie. Despite this, there are also a lot of moments that seem missing from the movie, moments that would properly explain things. There are some somewhat sweet moments between the main female character and her ghost friend, but seldom did their conversations get into much depth. And the "twist ending" is not a surprise at all, since they telegraph what will happen in the very first scene of the movie! If you are wondering about future star Sarah Jessica Parker, her performance here is okay, but shows no signs of what made her a superstar in the years to come.

If you're a SJP fan, you'll probably like this film. I really like her, but the film itself was pretty weak.It was hilarious to see all the bad 80's fashion that I was right there in the middle of during the same time! SJP was good in it, but it didn't make a lot of sense till the ending. Definitely a cute fantasy movie. Nice for a lazy weekend. I might buy it if I found it in the clearance rack somewhere.I had a problem with Lori's really, really nasty feelings about her mom getting remarried changing so fast. She ran out and hugged her after a 2 minute conversation with Terry. That's a little quick for a teen to get over such an upset.If you get the chance to see it, stick with it till the end to see SJP sing a song in the hospital. It's pretty cute.

I found this movie at Walmart for 88 cents - it was marked $1. I bought it because I really enjoy Sarah Jessica Parker's earlier stuff (not so much her later stuff, though), and I thought I would give it a try. At the very least, I was out less than a dollar. I just finished watching it, and I must say, it is really interesting, and it has a great moral. You should always live life as if you knew you were going to die - and what would you do to make your life better. It's not about money, power, wealth, or any of those things that Hollywood would like you to believe, but it is about caring, second chances, and real love, and is about what life is really about. Sure, it's low budget, and it is from the early 80's, but if you can get past that, it has a great message, and some of the acting is pretty good, too! It's just too bad that Tom Shea was only in this movie, and in only one other movie - a pretty bad one at that. He was good in this one, and kinda cute, too. All in all, I would rate it at a 7, simply for the message it contains. If you can manage to get your hands on a copy, I highly recommend it.

i had never seen or heard of this movie before,but being a big Sarah Jessica parker fan i purchased the DVD-yes it is available-at a music store in Sydney,Australia. it was at a bargain price of five dollars so i thought even if it was crap there would be no harm done. and what a surprise i received.the actual clarity of the film was not too great,but the movie itself was great. Sarah Jessica parker was so fun to watch at such a young age and she puts forward a great performance with an acting style that is so reminiscent of the top notch performances she gives to this day. a sweet,entertaining and funny at times little film that left me wondering why i hadn't heard of or seen before. definitely at the top of my collection.
