The greatest movie ever!

The greatest movie ever made..!

The acting in this movie is really good.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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!

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.

Jenny's wedding is a straight person's attempt at making a gay hallmark movie. Sad, filled with stereotypes, and Alexis Bledel. I found this movie on my quest to find a lesbian-centric film that wasn't overly sexual (looking at you, Blue is the Warmest Color) and had a happy ending where both girls were alive. (The wedding was a bonus) Unfortunately, I was let down. This movie is not good, even by hallmark movie standards. Katherine Heigl must have mixed up plaster and her foundation because her acting left so much to be desired, I actually felt bad for Alexis Bledel's character, Kitty, for falling in love with an OBVIOUSLY straight statue. One thing that this movie did get right? Straight People and their antics. Kitty is called Jenny's roommate up until literally, the day of the wedding.

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.
