Jenny Farrell is getting married. But how will her straight-laced family react when they find out that the woman they thought was their daughter’s roommate is actually her fiancée? As the old-fashioned Farrells attempt to come to terms with the prospect of a surprise daughter-in-law, they face a difficult choice: either adapt with the times or risk being left behind.

Simply Perfect
Admirable film.
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.
So boring, poorly wirtten and a waste of time. I wish I could could get that time back
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 an utter, tone-deaf disappointment. Tragically behind the times and generally flimsy. The theme may have been more appropriate 15-20 years ago. But now? It's beyond tired. "Mom, they were kissing! In public! Can you believe it?" You must be kidding.It's SO CLEAR that this movie was not made by any queer women, and none of it is believable. The supposed lesbians have zero chemistry...they have long talon fingernails for crying out loud! I wouldn't even recommend this movie to parents struggling with their daughter's sexuality because the characters are all so unlikable and pitiful. IF you are a queer person hoping this movie will offer a decent representation, don't waste your time.
the only reason i gave this movie a 2 is because Katherine hiegel looks good in her dress.. this movie is crap. its so bad.. one of the worst things about this movie is that is the music that is pretty meaningless yet whole scenes seem to be dedicated to just a stupid song. why? this movie seems like it was written after two film executives had coffee one morning and said to each other is there any movies about gay marriage lets make one.. and that was it.. they paid some intern to write it and there's your movie.. this movie is so bad I'm sure there hasn't been one lesbian that has even connected to it so the question is who were they making this for?
