Ste_willi This is the coming out movie told by a bunch of straight people. Every cliché is fulfilled. It's bland, not funny and just boring. Wow!

julialeighstern Jenny's Wedding is an utter, tone-deaf disappointment. Tragically behind the times and generally flimsy. The theme may have been more appropriate 15-20 years ago. But now? It's beyond tired. "Mom, they were kissing! In public! Can you believe it?" You must be kidding.It's SO CLEAR that this movie was not made by any queer women, and none of it is believable. The supposed lesbians have zero chemistry...they have long talon fingernails for crying out loud! I wouldn't even recommend this movie to parents struggling with their daughter's sexuality because the characters are all so unlikable and pitiful. IF you are a queer person hoping this movie will offer a decent representation, don't waste your time.

westpenn49 I really liked this movie, maybe that says something about me, but I did and I cried in all the appropriate places and smiled a lot as well. Who we are and who our family wants to see are relevant even outside the gay not gay issue of the day. watching the family deal with the love versus the personal issues (what will my friends think, and don't even try to pretend that we don't all worry) See it enjoy it, live for this movie does celebrate life, Oh yes Kathryn Heigel is in it and I thought she was wonderful. so there.

amorgan-77658 I just happened to find this movie on Netflix and thought it sounded like an OK way to spend the evening. Overall, I liked the movie. I know it's not getting very good reviews, but I disagree. I will admit that it is VERY predictable, and some of the writing is so so...but I don't think those qualities are unique to this movie and I definitely don't think they ruin it. There are also a lot of reviews saying that it's dated, in the coming out aspect and the reactions of the family and neighbors. While I do think that the reactions of some of the neighbors are a little over the top (or a lot), overall, I think that this is still very much a reality for LGBT people choosing to come out to their family. Especially considering the film is set in Ohio. I'm from the midwest...so I know how closed minded and behind the times people can be!As for the lack of chemistry between the leading ladies.... well, in case you missed it, this movie isn't about them. It's about Jenny's family coming to terms with everything. And I think this movie did a superb job with the family's characters and their reactions.I think the acting in this movie is top notch and really saves the lackluster script. Grace Gummer and Katherine Heigl are both on their game. But what did it for me is Tom Wilkinson and Linda Emond as mom and dad. Both of their performances were great. And I loved watching their relationship evolve during the course of the movie. Emond is my new favorite actress because of this movie. She gives an unbelievably believable performance in every scene that she's in, especially the coming out scene and the grocery store scene. Seriously amazing!Overall, I'd say it's totally watchable.
