Jenny’s Wedding – All The Things That Made The LGBTQ Movie So Flawed – The Telling Of A Completely Different Tale To Make The Story A Little More Impactful

Perhaps the most underestimated LGBTQ film is 2015’s Jenny’s Wedding, starring Katherine Heigl and Alexis Bledel. Not many people liked the low budget film. In fact, I’d even say most people hated it. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 20% rating. IMDB holds a better rating – 5.6 out of 10. One Reddit user bashed the entire film for being “too straight”.

Here, we fully break down all the reasons why Jenny’s Wedding was a flawed movie. We explore how it could’ve told a completely different story.
