Jumping The Broom Review

Film-o-Rama Review by August Meyer

Jumping The Broom is a frivolous, dim-witted, but undeniably fun movie. Posing as some sort Madea-esque, slightly serious wedding comedy with a half-hearted soul, Jumping the Broom comes off as insincere and superficial. With a cast that does nothing but leave much to be desired, the film doesn’t really pull anything off at all, aside from acting as a cheap escape for about two hours. With that, it shines, but that’s really not saying much with all of the other mediocre, yet entertaining movies currently released. What Jumping The Broom ultimately brings to the table is dull dialogue, completely forgettable characters, and an even more forgettable storyline. For a matinee, it’s passable, but for a full-priced ticket, don’t even think about it. Truth be told, you’ll get more for your money with movies like Fast Five…and even the dreadfully dumb Something Borrowed.
