Based on the popular television series, Noah?s Arc: Jumping the Broom is a feature film that continues the narrative thread of the second series, with all the luscious drama that one would expect. 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

Wonderfully humorus - Rating: 5/5
I do watch the series on Logo, so I knew what to expect from the acting and the characters. I was totally entertained by this film.
Borrrrrring - Rating: 2/5
With Noah's Arc gone I was really looking forward to a feature film , one that would tie up the loose ends from the TV show. But what happens we jump straight a head to the wedding . I admire Ian Polk and think he is very talented- but it bugs me that he feels the need to copy SATC at every turn. Carrie got married - Noah gets married . Come on . Put your thinking cap on- write an original story
More of the best darn show ever! - Rating: 5/5
Having come late to watching Noah's Arc (how late? a year after it ended..where was I really?)......I caught up thru rented dvds and thru Amazon until I just couldn't stand it anymore.........I had to buy my own copies of BOTH (YES BOTH) seasons and then began to see promos for the movie and couldn't resist renting it..............and yep, purchased the movie recently.............I am now complete (sigh)
Great and most entertaining show and the movie picks up to give fans a true romantic ending...........
