In this, Noah Nichols (Darryl Stephens) and his ARC: Alex Kirby (Rodney Chester), Ricky Davis (Christian Vincent), and Chance Counter (Douglas Spearman), retreat to Martha’s Vineyard for Noah’s intimate marriage to Wade Robinson (Jensen Atwood). While Alex’s hubby, Trey (Gregory Kieth), video chats from home to babysit their newly adopted Ethiopian child, Chance brings his husband, Eddie (Jonathan Julian), and Ricky is accompanied by the 19-year old Brandon (Gary Leroi Gray) for some lighthearted fling-dating. But as the four couples hole up and attend separate bachelor parties, each relationship begins to unravel. Alex’s pill-popping throughout the weekend, compiled with surprise drop-ins from Noah’s boss, Brandy (Jennia Fredrique) and rapper Baby Gat (Jason Steed), don’t help Noah and Wade work through last-minute jitters. Humor abounding, many of the deep questions about what marriage and commitment mean are filtered through scenes about stress related to coming-out and what promiscuity symbolizes to gay men. Appearances by two moms, Noah’s (Suanne Coy) and Wade’s (Tonya Pinkins), also make for some fun, and tense, situation comedy. Jumping the Broom has all the verve of the series, so if you are already a fan, this romantic tale will not disappoint. --Trinie Dalton | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

THE MOVIE WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND CAME FASTER THAN THE EXPECTED ARRIVAL DATE.
THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION WAS THE PRICE.I GOT A GREAT DEAL FROM THE ACTUAL RETAIL PRICE

It may not be great cinema, but it IS great fun.Oct 13, 2009
I watched this movie on DVD last weekend with my 2 best friends (gay men who have been fans of the TV series for a long time). While I am not a regular viewer of the TV show, I've seen enough episodes at their house to be familiar with the core characters and a little of their history together.
While Jumping the Broom would never be called great cinema, it was an immensely enjoyable experience for my friends and I. We laughed our butts off at Alex's wired exploits in the kitchen, enjoyed the gorgeous eye candy of Noah, Ricky and Wade, and tsk-tsked at Ricky's even-tackier-than-usual behavior (leaving the date he brought to the wedding to have sex with strangers). While we got some laughs out of Brandy's 'morning after' look and behavior, I felt that the whole Baby Gat & Brandy storyline was unnecessary and did not add much to the movie.
The constant bickering and multiple "marriage trouble" storylines got to be a bit much, not because each wasn't believeable or engaging, but because--for me at least--it was overkill. Do we have to see EVERYONE having relationship problems at the same time? It was a downer, though the Chance/Eddie/Brandon situation was both touching and hilarious.
The movie descends into cheesiness at times, but we all came out of it smiling, having had a fun movie-watching experience together...and that's what it's all about, right?!
 What in the world??Oct 04, 2009
I saw the two seasons and loved them. However, when I saw the first 10 minutes of this movie, I was bored to tears. The characters don't seem to be the same. I think that the writer should have done another season instead of a movie. This was terrible.
 Loved it. Great movie!Sep 30, 2009
I was very pleased with this movie. I was a big fan of the t.v. series. I was sad when they took it off of the air. I was happy when I found out that there was a movie coming out. The movie was just as good as the t.v. series. The characters are hilarious, and the story line was great! I would recommend this movie to anyone.
LOVE LOVE LOVE NOAH'S ARCSep 11, 2009
I just loved NOAH ARC...first the show, brought all the shows, then the sound track...and now the movie...I loved the ending and loved all the actors. It was the best. I wish they would pick up and do more shows where the movie left off. Just very entertaining....LOVE IT
