Sabrina Watson (Paula Patton) is a successful corporate lawyer who comes from an old-money family. When she meets Jason Taylor (Laz Alonso), she thinks she's found Mr. Right and eagerly accepts the Wall Street worker's marriage proposal after a whirlwind courtship. However, when Sabrina's aristocratic parents (Angela Bassett, Brian Stokes Mitchell) ]meet Jason's postal-worker mother (Loretta Devine) at their estate on Martha's Vineyard, the class division seems very wide indeed.
Movie theaters showing Jumping the Broom near Dallas,TX:
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It touched on issues and sterotypes that we've often accepted as normal behavior. Family secrets were exposed in addition to misuse of the bible. Very well done. A must have in your library

All are characters, not mere symbols, involved in a storyline that has a great deal of fun with the obvious fact that black life isn’t some monolithic phenomenon. (Full review)
