It shouldn't seem as novel as it does.
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
Rotten
"The comedy is as familiar as the ceremony at a cookie-cutter wedding factory: Much feels old or borrowed; nothing feels new."
Logan Hill, New York Magazine/Vulture

"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
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
