Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom (2008)

Good movie but grossly overrated

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

"Noah's Arc", the Logo network's sassy, fizzy gay comedic soap about an African-American writer, his steady boyfriend and assorted friends and ex-paramours, wasn't exactly trend-setting or groundbreaking...it had just enough bitchy banter and stolen kisses for the two seasons it ran. Expanded to feature-length, the romantic ups-and-downs of these mercurial characters becomes wearing long before the final celebration. Flashy, flitting Noah (Darryl Stephens) is about to marry dimply, masculine Wade (Jensen Atwood) at Wade's family's vacation home in Martha's Vineyard, but the wedding weekend is disrupted when the invited guests find themselves mired in romantic indecision and petty jealousies. A handful of the questions raised about relationships (trust, commitment, and honesty to one's own self as well as to his partner) transcend the gay scenario; the writing is often funny and often biting. However, the answers we get are usually in the form of a retort which skirts the issue, followed by a friendly hug, a chaste kiss, or a klutzy pratfall. The jubilation felt at the end is awfully sweet, though it too seems more like frosting than actual cake. ** from ****

It was a really good movie. Good story and lots of drama that Noah's Arc usually bring to the screen. It shows that many people in life have many relationship problems that are not visible to the eye. They went on the right direction on how to fix them and deal with issues that many couples face in every day life. From cheating spouses, to having illicit relations with different men, and being overbearing and controlling in a relationship. I would personally recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see it or buy it on DVD. It was action packed, and dramatic which is the usual for the series. Excellent on all grounds!! Good story, great location, and I also liked the introduction of a new character as well to add to the crew as well.

This was a Wonderfully done continuation of a ground breaking series. The movie was all any Noah's fan was waiting for. If you weren't a fan seeing this movie will make you an instant fan... The acting was brilliant and showed much growth. I hope this is not the end for theses guys as Noah's Arc. There were unexpected twist and turns. The actors are a great team together and the story was well written by Mr. Polk. This should not be the end of the series. There is so much more we could find out about Noah, Wade, Alex, Trey, Chance, Eddie and of course Ricky. Noah's Arc Jumping the Broom is a must see. The strong showing over the weekend should make the Powers that Be see it can be released nation wide and not just 5 theaters. The movie grabs you from the opening scene to the final moment. I highly recommend this movie to any and everyone to go and see it and make up your own mind.

Classify this one somewhere between "Showgirls" and "Glitter." Bad writing, worse direction, and acting that defies description combine to make this the most pleasant hour and forty minutes I've spent in a movie theater - and I found myself wishing it would go on forever. This is the kind of movie where the wardrobe gets applause from the audience. Every possible plot point is thrown against the cinematic wall like spaghetti to see what will stick. The characterizations change from "street wise" to "metaphysical discussion of the meaning of life" sometimes within one single line of dialog. Everyone laughs and cries; no one convincingly. Everybody drinks; some throw up.
