Review of Jenny's Wedding (2015) by Moya W — 12 Dec 2015

I really didn't know much before watching this one. I was expecting more a mediocre romantic comedy but this is more of a drama. A drama about love and acceptance and fear. Love for someone that you're not supposed to love. Learning to accept people for who they are. Fear of opening up to your parents and showing your true colours.

This movie takes up important subjects but my problem with it was its credibility. I didn't really believe in Katherine Heigl and Alexis Bledel as an in love lesbian couple. I didn't quite believe in Tom Wilkinson and Linda Emond as the homophobic conservative parents.

I felt that I didn't quite believe in the acting and I didn't quite believe in the screenplay. I still ended up enjoying the movie and there were moments when I felt very emotional just because I hated the parents in this movie. Because I hate people like them. They are the opposite of everything I stand for.

The problem is that this movie could have been even better. If only everyone who made this movie happen had played their cards right.
