Movie: Jumping the Broom (2011) ***

Jumping the broom is about a couple that meet, quickly fall in love and decide to get married. They're families don't meet until they all arrive for the wedding. Family secrets are revealed, dramatic, romantic and comedic antics ensue. 

This was a cheesy, but very cute wedding movie with all of the typical tropes: two families that are very different and don’t get along, the bride breaks it off at the 11th hour and the groom has to talk to her through the door, the horn dog relative goes after a someone from the other family, a drunken relative gives a memorable performance. But there’s also some fun, new and sweet elements to this movie, too. Despite the fact that this is a TD Jakes production, You aren’t beaten over the head with Christianity. There’s a handful of good black actors in this movie, notably Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine and clutch-my-pearls-still-looking-good-as-hell Gary Dourdan also made an appearance.
