Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshJul 30, 2015
Heartstring-tugging if a bit humorless. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschJul 14, 2015
There’s a fine, fierce film somewhere in Jenny’s Wedding, trying to claw its way out from under all the clichés, speechifying and sappy pop music. Read full review

VarietyJustin ChangJul 14, 2015
While the fine cast teases out glimmers of nuance here and there, Mary Agnes Donoghue’s film plays like a series of hand-holding growth exercises for closed-minded conservatives, and relies too heavily on its tying-the-knot finale for both dramatic momentum and emotional closure. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayJul 30, 2015
This is a movie displaced in time. And it’s barely a movie. It’s more like a dusty, faded old pamphlet: “So your daughter’s decided to get gay-married…” Read full review

Jenny’s Wedding isn’t ill-intentioned or actively bad; it’s just a little too familiar, a little too safe and a little too satisfied with itself. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperSep 17, 2015
This clunky dud about a same-sex union would have come across as trite and behind-the-times 20 years ago, let alone in 2015. Read full review

New York Daily NewsKatherine PushkarJul 29, 2015
Any humor, though, is buried deep in bad writing. So the joke’s on us. Writer-director Mary Agnes Donoghue is surely well-intentioned, but her tin ear and very-special-episode worldview miss the mark. Read full review

Village VoiceAaron HillisJul 28, 2015
Lazy, schmaltzy, and on-the-nose from its Hallmark-friendly production design to its rancid pop-music cues and naive dialogue. Read full review
