Jumping the Broom - A review from the critic's side of the fence
Was it worth seeing...yes and no. The story was typical and predictable. The maturity level of the movie was at about the junior high level. It was comparable to Something Borrowed, just a bit darker and with a different level of humor. Viewers get a standard script and a beautiful setting in the East Coast Vineyard.
Loretta Divine was superb in her standard role. Angela Bassett choked. The gentlemen was well rounded and enjoyable in their performances. This is a movie about social stratification (and upper class status shock) with some middle of the road fun tossed in for laughs. One lengthy wedding flick to sit through...
There is nothing too notable in this film. This review is about as stellar as the film. Laughs, gasps, and a bucket of popcorn are all you are going to get in the theatre. Don't expect any lasting memories. "Jumping the Broom" is best for college age adults and above. It will get 2 out of 5 Cyclones for a decent cast and some good laughs.
