The movie works thanks to the charm of its leads and the writer and director Jay Jonroys observations about Jewish and Muslim family life. - Matt Zoller Seitz, The New York Times./n++++ 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. Every scene Callie Thorne is in crackles with unhinged hilarity./nDavid Layla is suffused with the warmth and passion of the filmmaker Jay Jonroy. - Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post./n++++ David Layla manages to be both randy and chaste. Packed with meals, music and religious ideas. The climactic celebration sequence is a high point. Displays an unusual grasp of complex political issues. Its an offbeat cross-cultural romance with a positive message. - Michael Ordoña, The Los Angeles Times./n++++ Its hard not to be infected by the good humor and sheer joie de vivre of David Layla. - Ella Taylor, LA Weekly./n++++ 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. /n++++ Lets 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./n++++ While the movie evokes a comic tone, David Layla is a plea for world peace; an optimistic cri de coeur. The music is splendid. - Harvey Karten, Film Journal./n++++ 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 characters rare but striking angry outbursts. - Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune./n++++ David Layla is a romantic comedy with a conscience; it brims with optimistic spirit and is blessed by Shiva Roses performance. It is proof of the resiliency of the human spirit. - Barbara Vancheri, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette./n++++ My big, fat, Jewish-Muslim wedding. Writer/Director Jay Jonroy has done a fine job. -Tom Tugend, The Jerusalem Post./n++++ 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./nTrailer, Film Clips, 25 Reviews Press Kit at: http://www.DavidandLayla.com/
