6/10
Not bad but lacks some authenticity

It's good to see gay representation in films and the difficult issue of "coming out" makes a perfect Hollywood film. However I feel it's quite unrealistic. Jenny has known for a long time she's gay. She's had time to get used to it. She springs it on her (old fashioned conservative) parents and expects them to be ok right away? I haven't been close to this issue but surely you'd let the family come round to your relationship status in a little time- you wouldn't threaten to cut them out of your life within days of telling them? Would you? Surely you'd give them some time and consideration? I also think it's silly that she lied to her brother and sister- younger generations are more open to gay relationships. It was an ok film- about as good as any other Katherine Heigl's films- and it's good to see gay marriage getting some showcasing but it just didn't feel realistic
