About the Movie

Jumping the Broom is a 2011 American comedy film directed by Salim Akil and produced by Tracey E. Edmonds, Elizabeth Hunter, T.D. Jakes, Glendon Palmer, and Curtis Wallace.

The title of the film is derived from the African American tradition of bride and groom jumping over a ceremonial broom after being married.

TriStar Pictures distributed the film in the United States on May 6, 2011.

It should not be confused with the 2008 feature film Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom, directed by Patrik-Ian Polk and based on the LOGO television series, which features a gay marriage that also takes place on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.
