VARIETY, NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, LOS ANGELES TIMES, LA WEEKLY
+ ‘Guess Who Is Coming to Dinner’ for the 21st Century. An earnest, frequently funny comedy. Boasts a brand of chutzpah that highlights ‘the anything possible’ side of America with energy to burn. Shiva Rose (Layla) excels” – Lisa Nesselson, Variety.
+ “Love, Sex, Belly Dancing and Religious Differences: The star-crossed romance David & Layla is layered with sharply observed cultural details. The movie works thanks to the charm of its leads and the writer and director Jay Jonroy’s observations about Jewish and Muslim family life.” – Matt Zoller Seitz, The New York Times. + “Cross Cultural Romance with a Positive Message.” – Michael Ordoña, Los Angeles Times.
+ “Take the star-crossed romance of Romeo & Juliet, add some graphic sexual humor a la The 40-Year-Old Virgin and toss into the crucible of Middle East politics, and you get David & Layla, a frothy romantic comedy. David & Layla is suffused with the warmth and passion of the filmmaker Jay Jonroy.” – Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post.
+ “It’s hard not to be infected by the good humor and sheer joie de vivre of ‘David & Layla’.” – Ella Taylor, LA Weekly. Trailer, Film Clips, Photos, 25 Reviews, Press Kit… at official movie site: http://DavidandLayla.com

MORE REVIEWS:
• “The performances are another virtue. Boyish, reedy Moscow is fresh, immensely likable and amusing, while Rose boasts classic beauty, stoic dignity and an ability to pull off her character’s rare but striking angry outbursts.” – Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune.
• “My big, fat, Jewish-Muslim wedding. Writer/Director Jay Jonroy has done a fine job-Tom Tugend, The Jerusalem Post.
• “Let’s call for a ceasefire in the hostilities in the Middle East, require all combatants to take a 106-minute break and watch this movie. My hearty, must-see endorsement.” – Keith D Cohen, Jewish Chronicle.
• “Could have been another My Big Fat Greek Wedding but its originality and insight set it apart. David and Layla is a superior variation on that film with unexpected insights.’ – Joe Baltake, Independent Film Critic.

Yes. However, at a higher level, Layla represents the graceful and feminine but oppressed women of the Middle East and parts of Asia. In the ending credits on screen it says: “For the LAYLAs of the World.” Indeed the vast majority, especially women, of the Middle East, including Iranians, Arabs, Kurds, Palestinians, Jews, Turks, Armenians, Greeks…all appreciate and love the many layers of this film, including women’s equal rights

I really think 90% of users on youtube are uneducated like you. It is really absurd how you thought you made your point, but instead you absolutley made no sense at all. You made everyone that much stupider in here by sharing your comments. Why don’t you go play in traffic. Oh and 3rd of all why don’t you come up with something better instead of looking for arguments because you are bored at your computer, a coward, under 17, and an EMO.

Film is in cinema distribution. DVD sales in USA later in 2008 & in Europe & rest of the world from 2009. Hollywood actress Shiva Rose is Persian American (Her mother is Irish American, not Irish from Ireland.) Shiva Rose’s dad is the grand showman/entertainer of Iranian TV, Parviz Gharib Afshar.
