Essentially a black gay male West Coast version of “Sex and the City,” “Noah’s Arc” ran for two successful seasons on Logo. Now, like “Sex and the City,” “Noah’s Arc” spawns a feature film follow-up.
“Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom” picks up several months after the cliffhanger that ended Season Two and neatly wraps things up — but not so neatly that things can’t fall apart again for a third season.
Series fans will be glad to hear that the film takes place on the weekend Noah (Darryl Stephens) is finally marrying Wade (Jensen Atwood). For a change of scene, the gang heads to Martha’s Vineyard, where Wade’s family owns a house that’s big enough for all of them.
“Life is not a soap opera,” Ricky (Christian Vincent) says. But “Noah’s Arc” is, and five minutes never pass without some individual or couple going through a crisis that’s resolved as quickly as it began. You have to consider an overview of the series to find any depth, because each episode — and this feature is paced like any episode but four times as long — is made up of one shallow moment after another.
Ricky, the ultimate non-monogamist, brings a trick along for the weekend: Brandon (Gary LeRoi Gray), a 19-year-old student of Chance’s (Douglas Spearman), who makes the thirtysomething friends suddenly seem a lot older than they did.
