Jumping the Broom

Description

An old tradition, Jumping the Broom refers to a couple who jump over a broomstick at the end of their wedding ceremony to complete their "togetherness". It's a UK and African tradition that was brought back and popularized after airing of the miniseries Roots. But when two totally different socioeconomic families get together for a wedding on Martha's Vineyard the sparks will fly because one side wishes to hang on to traditional values while the other want a more modern ceremony.Starring Angela Bassett (What's Love Got To Do With It?) as mother of the bride, Paula Patton (Precious) is the bride, Laz Alonzo (Avatar, Fast & Furious) is the groom, and Loretta Devine (Grey's Anatomy, Waiting to Exhale) portraying the groom's mother this comedy is well casted and extremely funny. The social differences in the two families brought together by love and marriage cause sparks to fly while seeking to find common ground for the sake of the kids. A great movie that shows blacks can be educated, smart, and classy. A welcome change from the stereotypical type casting of blacks we usually see."

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.
