Escape from Tomorrow

**Disneyland to Disasterland.** The first thing is it is a different film. Might not be fully a fresh concept, but a rare kind. A bunch of wonderful characters and cast, this is somewhat entertaining. Takes place in the backdrop of Disneyland, Florida. Focused on a small family with two little kids having a nice time in the theme park. The story centres mainly on the father, who unable to resist the attraction towards two young French girls seen everywhere he goes. Which leads him to make mistakes being a father. Moreover, strange and unrecognisable events jeopardises the unity of his family. A bit of fantasy and reality, the film has a style. I thought it was just a flow that's taking it to the other end of the film, but the twist caught me by surprise. Nothing like a mind blowing, but for this kind of small flick, it was good enough. I don't think in any way the film offends the Disney park and Disney fans. Though the Disney did a fine job ignoring it rather than creating more publicity for the film by suing. It was just a possibility of life event which can take place anywhere, anytime. So, that's how it came into the life with this children's favourite theme park. Despite where it sets in, the film is for the adults. I think it is worth a try without any expectation. _6/10_

**Conceptually**, this had a lot going for it. But the actual product is a fucking disaster. _Escape from Tomorrow_ fails in basically every way it possibly could. _Final rating:★ - Of no value. Avoid at all costs._

I liked this. I mean, it wasn't full of action and drama, but that really never mattered to me. I don't need technicolor or car chases or CGI out the wazoo to enjoy a film. Really what you have here is a story about a depressed man on vacation that is dealing with a little midlife crisis and still trying to please his family before hitting them with the bad news. You get into his head and his delusions and, like all indie films, it relies on a smart script because it, well, that is all it has going for it. There are better movies out there, but Escape from Tomorrow is entertaining for what it is and the resources they had to make it with. You can't really judge it against films like Goodfellas that had all the support budget and star power to win over audiences. The film takes dedication to watch and the pay off is there if you have the patience required for indie films.
