This story revolves around the class division that is a barrier to Sabrina's marriage. The story began with that girl, Sabrina Watson, a successful corporate lawyer. After a while, Sabrina meets a young man named Jason Taylor and thinks she has found her right man and accepts his proposal to marry him on Wall Street. But perhaps because the Sabrina family of the aristocratic class, it would seem more complicated. When the Sabrina family meets the aristocrats Angela Bassett, Brian with Jason's mother working in Martha Vineyard, there is a classy division that seems very broad.
"Jumping the Broom" combines tried-and-true oil-water class tensions with the challenges of modern romance and family, then adds some African-American flavors.

This extremely formulaic time-waster offers little beyond its lame Hallmark greeting-card platitudes.
...a perfectly watchable romantic comedy that benefits from the efforts of its eclectic cast and from the appreciatively (and increasingly) trashy turns in the narrative.
True, the script overreaches, crammed with too many characters, subplots and stereotypes. But at least it's trying. And at least there isn't a phony in the bunch.
Class differences and family resentments add to the hubbub surrounding an African-American wedding on Martha's Vineyard in this perceptive, faith-based romantic comedy.
