Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

kel-jmills Watched it. Hated it. Had to reset my password from years of inactivity just to write this Premise to the film was solid. Katherine Heigl is hit and miss with me, and this movie was a big miss. Alexis Bledel always great and was no exception in this film. I was fully aware I was watching a movie the entire time I stayed awake. I found that Katherine and Alexis were mismatched for these roles. I wouldn't waste your time in watching this film.

aster812-995-102449 The movie starts off OK. We've got Katherine Heigl as a lesbian comming out of the closet, with conservative parents, gossiping sister and a brother. And showing the hipocrisy of the parents and the conflict is pretty interesting. But then an hour passes and it gets so horrificly boring. Of course the movie needs a cliche happy end so everyone has to make up. But it just becomes lazy and basically shows the montage of the offended father with preparations for the wedding. The brother has no purpose in a movie. The sister and her husband are just awkward. They only serve the purpose of showing that straight relationships can be toxic, but it is done in a such lazy way... The father's character is inconsistant. First you think he's going to support his daughter no mather what. Then he turns his back on her cause she made one scene. The mother is the most interesting and best acted character. You can understand the conflict between "what will people say" and "that is my daughter". Once they get along the movie could end for all that I care. The main character's love interest has no personality or backstory whatsoever. We only find out that she's a teacher and her mother lives far away. We don't find out anything about whether her parents even come to the wedding. It's Jenny's Wedding, not Kitty's. Kitty is just an accessory. And finally - Jenny. I don't personally hate Katherine Heigl, nor do I adore her. Here she is just a generic character that you basically don't care about enough to like the movie.

Prismark10 Katherine Heigl tries to stretch her acting muscles playing Jenny a lawyer who is openly gay, living with her female partner (Kitty) for some years but has pretended to be straight to her conservative family and passed her partner off as a roommate. At various functions people ask Jenny about boyfriends and she coyly answers about never meeting the right man.When Jenny announces she plans to marry Kitty, her parents and sister freak out along with many people in the neighbourhood. Jenny feels isolated and even disowned by her parents.The film has noble instincts but it is vacuous and dull. There is little hint of a genuine, loving relationship of any kind between Jenny and Kitty. The character of Jenny's sister is irritating going on about how it is always about Jenny seeking attention although there is a subplot where the sister faces the shortcomings in her own heterosexual marriage.Thew film's sentiments just feel dated and many of the character are just insufferable.

jtsmith-4 No big blowups (but there are a few sparks) mar this tale of an average, albeit conservative family, coming to grips with the fact that their daughter is not what they though she was... parents had a harder time of accepting her than did her brother and sister (very believable, as one would expect from parents versus siblings)Completely aside from the "stories" about work difficulties (some of which were more about her "momanager") she his a GREAT actor who has done well in every movie or TV show I have watched Wife and I both enjoyed this movie, and we look forward to seeing what else she does in the futureRecommended
