The new Columbia Pictures film ‘Jumping the Broom’ produced by Tracey Edmonds and Bishop T.D. Jakes is a romantic comedy that explores today’s difficulty in abstaining from sex until marriage.
Bishop Jakes fuses religion and comedy to challenge the film’s audiences to explore the option of abstinence before marriage.
The film asks the question how easy is it to abstain from sex until you jump the broom? And which guy would make you want to Jump The Broom?
Laz Alonso and Paula Patton play Jason Taylor and Sabrina Watson, a young couple who decide to spend the rest of their lives together in Holy matrimony. But when their two families from opposite ends of the tracks converge on Martha’s Vineyard for their dream weekend wedding, problems crop up and threaten to derail the happy event.
After meeting with Bishop Jakes for a counseling session, Taylor makes the decision to abstain from sex until his marriage to Watson.
In addition to abstaining from sex, Watson has to deal with her parents (played by Angela Bassett and Brian Stokes Mitchell) who have problems in their own marriage and appear on the brink of divorce.
And Taylor faces pressure from his friends who scoff at the idea of abstaining from sex until marriage.
‘Jumping The Broom’ also stars Mike Epps, Loretta Devine, Meagan Good, Tasha Smith, DeRay Davis, Julie Bowen, Romeo Miller, Gary Dourdan, Pooch Hall, and Valarie Pettiford.
‘Jumping The Broom’ opens everywhere on May 6, 2011.

Morning all!
Seems like a feel good movie and I support those. Regarding which guy would make me want to jump the broom…..none! Maybe it’s just a phase but Ino longer have the desire to get married. Sue me!
^^^ That’s because you haven’t met Tink Tink
Good Morning
Angela looks good. She seems more feminine in the face.
I can take or leave this movie. I’ll support because its an all black cast.
I will be going to support this movie. I hope they don’t disappoint me.

What she said…
That damn Laz Alonso, umph umph umph. I will watch anything with him in it. But overall this movie looks decent predictable but decent.
I’ll go see it. It seems more dignified than a Tyler Perry movie to me.
@Tink Tink: You could be right!
Sounds like a movie with character depth instead of these bland black white good bad monolithic black characters we’re used to seeing.
I’ll support it, like ry said, looks predictable, but decent.
TD Jakes has the right idea about making good wholesome black films. Maybe he should have a talk with Tyler Perry because trust I won’t ever be paying to see another one of his movies ever. Shyyyyit!
This doesn’t seem like something I’d be into but it’s great to see an all black cast
Good Morning!!! I will go see it. One movie I won’t see is Tyler Perry . YOU CAN”T MAKE ALL YOUR PLAYS INTO MOVIES. The trailers don’t even look good.
I’m sure i’ll go see this one Sunday when Im bored
Morning Folks!
Morning
basically all romantic comedies predictable but it looks like it can be decent
I know a few ppl who saw the movie already they all loved it and said it was cute
I always said I wanted to marry vs burn. I didn’t know abstaining would be looked at in this movie #Iapprove
Derek Luke makes me wanna jump the broom but he is already taken

I try to support most black films. Especially b4 noon when the price is $5.
Morning All!
I have never paid money to go see Tyler Perry’s films. I despise the plays (all that dayum sangin), and the movies are the same story with different characters with Medea thrown in. I usually borrow someone’s bootleg copy. I won’t even spend the $1 at Redbox or Blockbuster Express for that shyt!
