“Itu0026#39;s tiring to read reviews that are not about the quality of a movie but instead are written to rehash a crowd mentality – in this case to trash Katherine Heigl, who is actually quite good in the film. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJennyu0026#39;s Wedding tells the all-too-common story of a conservative Christian family that has tremendous difficulty in accepting a gay son or daughter. Even in 2015, otherwise loving family members can inflict guilt on their gay offspring rather than come to terms with reality. Jennyu0026#39;s Wedding captures this dynamic in a sensitive way that relates Jennyu0026#39;s story from the perspective of all family members (including Jennyu0026#39;s partner). All the acting is excellent, and the storyu0026#39;s arc reveals changes that that are honestly earned, without sentimentality.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is a fine, underrated romantic drama that deserves to be seen.”
