Leave your thoughts about Jenny's Wedding.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDonoghue has made a warm, enjoyable picture, thankfully refusing to dress her work up in politics and condemnation, prioritizing the human factor. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsMae AbdulbakiJenny's Wedding is heartfelt and sincere in its execution. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayThis is a movie displaced in time. And it’s barely a movie. It’s more like a dusty, faded old pamphlet: “So your daughter’s decided to get gay-married…” |
| The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschThere’s a fine, fierce film somewhere in Jenny’s Wedding, trying to claw its way out from under all the clichés, speechifying and sappy pop music. |
| VarietyJustin ChangWhile the fine cast teases out glimmers of nuance here and there, Mary Agnes Donoghue’s film plays like a series of hand-holding growth exercises for closed-minded conservatives, and relies too heavily on its tying-the-knot finale for both dramatic momentum and emotional closure. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshIn the moments where she finally becomes angry, Heigl's pugnacious qualities serve her well; her rage is pure, cleansing and righteous in defense of her life. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisLazy, schmaltzy, and on-the-nose from its Hallmark-friendly production design to its rancid pop-music cues and naive dialogue. |
| Slant MagazineNick PriggeTolerance in the film doesn't so much suggest a recognizably real epiphany as it does a moving Hallmark card. |
| TheWrapJames RocchiJenny’s Wedding isn’t ill-intentioned or actively bad; it’s just a little too familiar, a little too safe and a little too satisfied with itself. |
| Movie TalkJason BestWriter-director Mary Agnes Donoghue's heart is clearly in the right place... but Jenny's relationship with Kitty is so thinly sketched that it's the stumbling emotional journeys taken by the other members of her family that prove more engaging. |
