Pleasant and cheerful, and that sort of thing should be encouraged sometimes.

It's fun at times, if a bit over-dramatic and a lot over-the-top. But by the end, you're ready for it to be over.

This extremely formulaic time-waster offers little beyond its lame Hallmark greeting-card platitudes.
August 07, 2011
...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.

Hits the intended mix of smiles, tears, and family-affirming warmth.

It shouldn't seem as novel as it does.

A pleasant sitcom-level mix of comedy, romance and soapy melodrama, plus low-key Bible-thumping (celebrity evangelist T.D. Jakes is a producer).

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.
