Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

baby3660 This was a great little film. It is not perfect, obviously low budget, and some of the acting is a bit over the top (the guy's Jewish parents). However, the two leads and others are outstanding and I was totally caught up in their romance. The film is funny, yet catches you off guard with drama and even real suspense and danger as well. Many people have complained about the lack of authenticity in her Kurdish accent or whatever, not that I would noticed since I don't personally know any Kurds! But I loved the film and it's message, and loved the realistic nature of their relationship. They had great chemistry, yet she seemed bitchy at times rather than some perfect angel. He was charming yet also imperfect. Many great moments and lots of romance, laughs, beautiful images, and all around fun. I know it's cliché, but seriously... I laughed! I cried!

themanwho81 To put in bluntly, David & LAYLA is an indie movie lover's wet dream, a thinking man's romantic comedy that truly deserves to be seen by as many eyes as possible. Writer-Producer-Director Jay Jonroy, a name that is sure to blip on the everyone's radar with his distinctive vision and voice, makes an impressive feature film debut. D&L has a lot going for it: acid-tongued wit, richly drawn characters, and razor sharp observations of cultural differences. Let's face it: a Jewish-Muslim romance in lesser hands runs the risk of being a cringe-inducing MY BIG FAT Greek WEDDING ripoff with cultural-clash ethnic punchlines sophisticated viewers can telegraph from light years away. But Jonroy clearly adores the titular leads (David Moscow and Shiva Rose, who really click together) and the world they inhabit (a beautifully shot New York City), and has lovingly crafted a palatable and believable love story that doesn't insult its audience. See it!

dcctx04 Just by reading some reviews and descriptions, I knew I was going to walk into a movie filled with stereotypes and some political messages. What I didn't expect is that I would be crept out by the lack of true romance and love. I honestly got the impression that David purely wanted sex and Layla purely wanted the green card and they met somewhere in the middle. Sure, love can develop and it may have in their real-life story but you wouldn't really get that from the movie. Just when you think the characters will surprise you with a valiantly romantic gesture, they let you down with the sort of banal behavior one might find in the real world. Basically, I was pulled from all directions ... ethnic stereotypes, deadly politics, and ethically weak characters. I would expect a message of love would come through to rescue the viewer from all the other depressing stuff but there was barely a hint of it.I couldn't help but think that David didn't deserve her at all and that sort of ruined some of the grander points that were pain-stakingly being made. I'm sorry but that's how the movie made me feel.

shivasharif There are many wonderful moments in the movie, however, what stands out is the movie's ability to tell the truth. I applaud Jonroy and the cast for working hard to remind us that there is more that unites us than divides us. This movie touches myriad of topics that are extremely relevant to what's going on in the world today. The movie takes you through the spectrum of emotion from laughter to tears and at the same time you walk away from the movie feeling that you've learned more than you may have known when you walked into the theater. Just like any other art each person will have his/her interpretation, but the beauty of the movie is that there is so much to talk about after the movie. I highly recommend this movie because I'm a big fan of comedy, romance, and the truth!
