Guys That Makes Us Want To Jump The Broom

'Jumping The Broom' is a new film by director Salim Akil that celebrates the African tradition of jumping the broom to signify a marriage when it wasn't always legal for blacks to marry in the 18th century.

'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.

Marion "Pooch" Hall of BET's 'The Game' plays Ricky, the best friend of the groom, Jason (Laz Alonzo). And Romeo Miller ("Dancing With The Stars") plays Sebastian, the cousin of the bride, Sabrina (Paula Patton).

Problems crop up for Jason and Sabrina when their two families from opposite ends of the tracks clash on Martha’s Vineyard during their dream weekend wedding.

"Help me Jesus, that boy is fine!," says Shonda (Tasha Smith) after meeting Sebastian, who prefers "a more seasoned woman with a little more experience."

Later, Jason, Ricky, Sebastian and Malcolm (DeRay Davis) get together for an impromptu bachelor party before the wedding. Ricky, Malcolm and Sebastian each take opposing views of what it really means to be a man in this clip from the movie.

'Jumping The Broom' is in theaters May 6th.

    Saw the movie screening last night and the movie is cute! IMO the movie was about a lot more than just abstaining from sex until marriage. Romeo definitely got me wanting to be a cougar!! LOL! And Mike Epps is a FOOL!

    Romeo's Dad better warn him about those white girls he seem to like dating
    ( in real life )

    He may be the one to give away everything ( to the whites) that his father worked very hard for.

    If MasterP hands over his empire to his son, and his son goes and marries a white girl or better yet has a baby by one, they can kiss that empire goodbye!

    To the White Readers:

    Nothing personal on an individual basis, it's just the reality of what your folks love to do

    Pooch is the ONLY ONE I'd jump the broom with, period, end of story :yes:

    Can't wait to see this movie.

    well add me to the minority I have no intentions of going to see this :nono:

    I want to support this one, but it seems like the run of the mill lackluster black movies. I'll wait for the DVD. It's something about seeing Deray Davis in any movie, I know it's going to have a generic or "slapstick" style comedy. I'm not a fan at all. The film has Mike Epss. Again, slapstick comedy type actor. I don't laugh when I see epps or deray in a movie. I dread it actually. And then they got TD Jakes attached to it. WHY?

    Remember when he produced that movie with Taraji and Morris? Me either. I just know they were in it. I didn't see it or can tell you title of it.

    I know it's just a movie, but whatever.
