Unfortunately, the film is far less successful when it pursues a ridiculous gangster subplot. The handling of their love for the same girl, Kobe, is free from all the usual clichés and alpha male stereotypes. If Tomorrow Comes shows male relationships in a new light. The film works exceedingly well when it is content to examine Adam and Devin's unusual friendship. His life revolves around caring for his disabled brother, pulling needles out of his junkie step-mother and avoiding his abusive father. Adam's best friend since childhood, Devin (James Franco) is equally damaged. Adam is lost soul, who consoles himself by listening to answering machine messages from his estranged father. The exact situation remains unclear but the lasting effects of Adam's childhood trauma could not be any more apparent. Adam (Dave Buzzotta) appears to have suffered some kind of sexual abuse as a child. The film begins with a jumble of poorly filmed flashback sequences. Nevertheless, If Tomorrow Comes is worth watching as a showcase for the many fine actors involved. I often got the feeling that the film had not been completely finished or had faced problems in post-production.
The film is low-budget and some of the technical aspects are quite poor. If Tomorrow Comes is an unusual film, distinguished by surprisingly strong performances from an excellent cast.
