Film review: Donor Unknown | Jumping the broom | Mother's day | Honey 2

DONOR UNKNOWN (15) ***

This documentary follows JoEllen Marsh, a grown-up test-tube baby who tracks down her sperm donor father and a dozen half-siblings. There's a very Californian vibe to dad, a good-natured hippie who lives in a campervan, and a grace to Jerry Rothwell's meditative film.

JUMPING THE BROOM (12A)

***

Two black American families – one posh, one working class – clash when brought together for a wedding. A comedy-drama with a broad streak of churchy soap, this is still more appealing than Something Borrowed.

On general release from Friday

MOTHER'S DAY (18)

**

When their bank job goes awry, three robbers try to hide out in their mother's house only to find it has been sold to a young couple (Jaime King, Frank Grillo). After they are taken hostage, mum (Rebecca De Mornay) turns up and makes everything much worse. A remake of one of those dodgy Troma flicks, by Darren Lynn Bousman, one of the Saw series' favourite directors.

HONEY 2 (12A)

**

The world of hip-hop dancing appears a simple one where scrappy talent fights for dancefloor glory with regular pitstops for overproduced dance-crew routines. No wonder Jessica Alba had better things to do than reprise her role as a choreographer teaching underprivileged Bronx kids how to hoof, so this time it's Katerina Graham urging an undisciplined crew to shape up in time for a talent show. The dancing is dazzling, but this genre needs to bust some new moves.
