This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw the preview for Jenny's Wedding and I was excited. I knew I was getting my hopes up for a Katherine Heigl romcom and I knew it would be bad, but I couldn't help it. I hoped we would see an actual lesbian couple normally on the movie screen. But instead, this movie lacks any romance and I'm left wondering why Kitty and Jenny are even getting married at all.

I think this movie is sexist and homophobic. First, we are convinced that Jenny will be happy if she gets married. It's all her family can talk about! For the amount of times the mother says she's like her daughter, it shocks me to see her so disgusted when all Jenny's doing is being herself. I understand that someone "coming out" can be a shock, but the reality is that it's 2015. I know situations such as the one portrayed in the movie do happen, and worse, but the parents never fully seem to accept their daughter for who she is. And this is supposed to be a comedy. Homophobia isn't funny.

There was significantly more screentime shown of the parents and the sister than there was of Jenny and Kitty – the namesake of the movie. Bickering is the main focus and no matter how hard it tried it would not be funny. In no other romcom would more time be spent on the family than the actual couple getting married, but of course when the focus is gay we have to get in our straightness somewhere!

It would have been so cool to have a mainstream movie like this without any of the family issues. After watching, I imagine the target audience is older parents or family members that are "struggling" with someone's sexual orientation and trying to excuse their blatant homophobia. A wasted opportunity.… Expand

It all feels outdated, simplistic and insulting to both the characters and the audience.

This is a great movie to watch on a lazy afternoon. Jenny who is 30ish woman. She has never brought a guy home. Everyone tells her that she should get married as her biological clock is ticking.

Everyone tells her that she should get married as her biological clock is ticking. While talking to her father she confessed that she is in relationship. She realises that she should get married and start a family. Later she comes out and tells her parents that she is a lesbian. On her mother's request she hides it from her sister only to hurt her later. Jenny's brother happily accepts her and tells her that he knew this since high school. Jenny's sister reconciles and also ends her troublesome relationship with her husband. In the end Jenny's parents also agree to be a part of the wedding. The movie shows the difficulty of life of LGBTQ+ group. The behaviour of society, lack of acceptance of family members, and a lot of issues of LGBTQ community. I loved the movie and would recommend it to everyone.… Expand

Is there any better gay themed movie for the family audience?

This is an awesome movie for families, maybe except orthodox families. It is a lesbian theme, but not a romance movie. A beautiful drama filled with some good humours. This isIs there any better gay themed movie for the family audience?

This is an awesome movie for families, maybe except orthodox families. It is a lesbian theme, but not a romance movie. A beautiful drama filled with some good humours. This is not about two women falling in love and their relationship complications, but the family of one of them who struggle to accept after knowing their daughter is a gay. The daughter wanted to marry her sweetheart and start a family. So how things shape up within the family, who lose, who gain and what happens at the end is the remaining.

The title says it is a Jenny's wedding, but the wedding is a small part, the rest is all about Jenny's family. While portraying the family about how they're coping with the news, I liked how the film focused one at a time and their way of coming out of the frame they're in. Mostly it was the perspective of the women, because the writer was a woman, so she knew how to carve it. That's why the father's part slightly lacked the exhibition, nevertheless, that's the only male character that has to be so tough.

Such a wonderful narration, totally an unexpected movie. Surely one of the underrated movie of the year. The cast was fantastic. Among all the characters, Alexis Bledel's role was disappointingly shorter. Anyway, she was not that important, but the rest of them had played their part exceptionally. Great dialogues, sometimes emotionally gets us. Is there any best gay themed film for families, I've not seen quite good as this one. I definitely recommend it.
