It's tempting to slight the effort as My Big Fat Gay Wedding, since the screenwriters follow a familiar template.

The lively, timely film plays like a soap opera on a big screen, has its awkward and uneven moments but delivers the goods.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
Despite some drinking (with nary a hangover afterward) and a fling or two, the prevailing mood isna(TM)t campy or disco-decadent. Rather the emphasis is squarely on heartfelt communication, monogamy and child rearing.
Andy Webster, New York Times

It might be helpful to think of the series and its spinoff as a male version of The Golden Girls. A young, gay, African American male version of The Golden Girls.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten
While there are some solid chuckles scattered throughout the film, Polk's heavy-handed political sloganeering is lifted straight from pamphlets, while his character development and plotting are clumsy and filled with holes.
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
