Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
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.
– Adam Graham,
Detroit News,
6 May 2011
fresh:
"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.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,
6 May 2011
rotten:
"The comedy is as familiar as the ceremony at a cookie-cutter wedding factory: Much feels old or borrowed; nothing feels new."

fresh:
It shouldn't seem as novel as it does.
– Chris Vognar,
Dallas Morning News,

fresh:
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.
