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.

A pleasant sitcom-level mix of comedy, romance and soapy melodrama, plus low-key Bible-thumping (celebrity evangelist T.D. Jakes is a producer).

This extremely formulaic time-waster offers little beyond its lame Hallmark greeting-card platitudes.
April 08, 2012
Hits the intended mix of smiles, tears, and family-affirming warmth.

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.

Like a Tyler Perry movie with polish

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.

It shouldn't seem as novel as it does.
August 07, 2011
...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.

"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.

Pleasant and cheerful, and that sort of thing should be encouraged sometimes.
December 06, 2011
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.
