Thanks to Netflix, I finally watched this film for the first time. All of the actors portrayed their characters well. I can believe that they are being someone else. The movie plot is pretty well and understandable to follow. The fact that the rating of this movie is low (still) is surprising to me. Before judging by the reviews or just being a biased hater, please checkout the film. Also, if you didn't get it, watch it for a second time. Thanks....

Jumping the BroomEvery culture has its wedding traditions. Jewish couples break the glass; Hindu couples exchange garlands; and rich couples sign prenups.The wedding tradition in this drama, however, is controversial.After another one nightstand, Sabrina (Paula Patton) vows not to spread her legs until she is married.Accepting that challenge is Jason (Laz Alonso), a cultured, caring guy, who proposes in less than 6-months.Now, they must make their families see eye-to-eye on cultural issues, including the ceremonially slave custom of jumping over a broom to secretly signify marriage.Meanwhile, Jason must confront his overbearing mother (Loretta Devine), while Sabrina sorts through the news that her parents (Angela Bassett, Brian Stokes Mitchel) aren't who they say they are.Laden with religious dialogue and debates over racial obligations, Jumping the Broom does have its agenda; however, its depiction of in-law fallouts is accurate.Which is why the ideal wedding is that of two orphans.

I thought this was going to be another one of those boring date movies that I must see to make my girl feel good. But, it turned out to be rather good. The story flowed well with good acting by Angela Bassett and the cast did a good job as well. With a nice mixture of drama,comedy and even a few twists. Enjoy the movie for yourself. I can never understand what other critics are actually looking for when they preview a movie. As long as I can feel the characters and not worry about when the credits will role then it is a decent movie. I must say it is nothing worthy of an Oscar nomination but its definitely worth the price of admission.
