Though Dough is often in danger of running off the rails with improbable and unnecessary plot twists, it is always essentially entertaining and warm in its observations of hope rekindled through simple relationships. Read full review

Pryce and Holder are perfectly suited to the roles and form an authentic chemistry that excels above workplace formalities. Read full review

Fortunately, the terrific lead performances by Jonathan Pryce and newcomer Jerome Holder are enough to help Dough rise above its formulaic ingredients. Read full review

A mirthful, edgeless dramedy. Read full review

Its fusion of maudlin social commentary and banana-slipping pratfalls is graceless in the extreme: picture an episode of Chucklevision directed by Ken Loach. Read full review

Directed by John Goldschmidt it stars Jonathan Pryce as a widowed owner of a Kosher bakery in the East Side of London and Jerome Holder as a young Muslim apprentice in this charming tale of two cultures trying to find common ground in spite of their different ethnic backgrounds. This is a feel good movie that will never make the top ten list but nevertheless offers the viewer a chance to simply sit back and enjoy how predictable plot endings find their way into the audience's comfort zone. I give the film an 8.0 and suggest that whether the viewer has ever or has never eaten a challah, this film will be a refreshing morsel for his or her movie palate.… Expand
