Jenny's Wedding (2015)
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?

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Captivating movie !
So boring, poorly wirtten and a waste of time. I wish I could could get that time back
...because there are people every day facing exactly the same challenges as the people in this film. Is this cutting edge on a national level? No. But it is very cutting edge for real everyday people and will be for years to come.I'm not saying this is the greatest film ever made, but I found it interesting, sometimes a bit thought provoking, and while it didn't have a slam dunk mentality on the subject of gay/lesbian marriage, it highlighted what real gay/lesbian and their families go through.Katherine Heigl is very good as the lesbian around whom all the fuss is occurring. This is hardly a stand-out role for her, but she's good here.A little difficult to get a sense of Alexis Bledel's acting skills. The focus -- and the other bride to be -- is not on her.Tom Wilkinson is believable as Heigl's old firefighter father, although this is not his best role, by far.On the other hand, Linda Emond, as the mother out acts everyone else on the cast. I wasn't at all familiar with her, but she excellent here.Grace Gummer as the sister. Sorry, but no. I hope to not see her in another film.Yes, they all seem to live happily ever after. And maybe that's not the typical outcome of situations like this, but these actors made it all seem believable and real. You're not going to be knocked off your chair with this film, but it will give you some reasons to think.
The bar is so low, because there aren't too many half way decent Lebsian movies out there.This movie is closer to the actual reality of coming out and working it through with a family that has a deep bond.The perspectives of the Lesbian couple, her parents, and her siblings was pretty complex and fair, spot on, and dramatic. I just wanted more scenes with the couple.The writing was pretty good. Give it a chance, if you are looking for a Lesbian drama. It's a pretty low key movie, but not half bad.I enjoyed it for what it was.
No big blowups (but there are a few sparks) mar this tale of an average, albeit conservative family, coming to grips with the fact that their daughter is not what they though she was... parents had a harder time of accepting her than did her brother and sister (very believable, as one would expect from parents versus siblings)Completely aside from the "stories" about work difficulties (some of which were more about her "momanager") she his a GREAT actor who has done well in every movie or TV show I have watched Wife and I both enjoyed this movie, and we look forward to seeing what else she does in the futureRecommended
