Jumping The Broom
The story started with that girl, Sabrina Watson, a successful lawyer. She met a young man named Jason Taylor who thought she found her right man and accepted his proposal to marry him on Wall Street after he was asked to do so. Because of the aristocratic Sabrina, it would seem more complicated when it comes to marriage. One day, when the Sabrina family meets the aristocrats Angela Basset, Bryan with Jason's simple working mother in Martha Vineyard, there is a class division that may be very broad under the two classes.

True, the script overreaches, crammed with too many characters, subplots and stereotypes. But at least it's trying. And at least there isn't a phony in the bunch.

Class differences and family resentments add to the hubbub surrounding an African-American wedding on Martha's Vineyard in this perceptive, faith-based romantic comedy.

Hits the intended mix of smiles, tears, and family-affirming warmth.

"Jumping the Broom" combines tried-and-true oil-water class tensions with the challenges of modern romance and family, then adds some African-American flavors.

...a perfectly watchable romantic comedy that benefits from the efforts of its eclectic cast and from the appreciatively (and increasingly) trashy turns in the narrative.

Pleasant and cheerful, and that sort of thing should be encouraged sometimes.
July 29, 2011
A pleasant sitcom-level mix of comedy, romance and soapy melodrama, plus low-key Bible-thumping (celebrity evangelist T.D. Jakes is a producer).

It's fun at times, if a bit over-dramatic and a lot over-the-top. But by the end, you're ready for it to be over.

This extremely formulaic time-waster offers little beyond its lame Hallmark greeting-card platitudes.

Like a Tyler Perry movie with polish

It shouldn't seem as novel as it does.
