Sparks fly when a Jew and a Muslim fall in love in New York. David, a TV host of "Sex & Happiness", becomes smitten with the voluptuous Layla - a mysterious, sensual dancer. Layla turns out to be a Muslim refugee. Teased by specious tips from his ironic French cameraman, David madly pursues Layla. This sets off a veiling and unveiling of the similarities - and contrasts - of their ancient cultures. David's lust grows into love as he discovers in stunning Layla, a sensitive, intelligent, war survivor with an ancient rich culture that echoes his own culture. But their families are dead set against this unlikely romance. Faced with deportation, Layla must choose: Muslim American Dr. Ahmad or Jewish American David? Will David and Layla follow their hearts to blast through centuries of religious animosity?
Leave your thoughts about David & Layla.
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonAnyone can grasp the issues explored in Jonroy's comedy, and occasional missteps are easily forgiven when something new (along with a feast of great-looking food) is being brought to the table. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaThough it's no Romeo and Juliet, David & Layla is an offbeat cross-cultural romance with a positive message. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekSo clumsily made that even its hopeful message can't make it go down pleasantly. |
| Film Journal InternationalHarvey S. KartenThe picture takes its time in developing momentum; once attained, it becomes a watchable, optimistic cri de coeur. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinJay Jonroy, who wrote and directed David & Layla, has come up with some potentially funny material that doesn't quite work. |
| Miami HeraldMarta BarberHumor and politics finally converge in what the story is all about: finding the good in those different from you. It's a happy ending that can be enjoyed by all. |
| Arizona RepublicRichard NilsenDavid and Layla is proof, if proof be needed, that good intentions just aren't enough. |
| Boxoffice MagazineTim CogshellRather than a real drama about these things, David & Layla plays like '70s-era sitcom. |
| User ReviewKimille HThis was a really beautiful film! Full of colors, spice, and culure. People complain about how much stereotypes are present in the film, but I don't think they realize that this is based on a true story. I think the film would have been less realistic if the pressures between the different religious backgrounds had been left out. Go see the film, its well worth the 7-9 bucks. |
| User ReviewLauren LI was one of the lucky few Nashvillians to have seen this movie along with the director Jan Jonroy on its opening night in theaters. I have to say that the movie was inspired--not merely by a true story, but also, Jonroy's exrteme dedication to this movie. There were a select few moments where the script seemed weak, but something about this movie radiated heart, and no one can fault it for that. It's one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, and I recommend everyone to it. |
