Anyone 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. October 5, 2007 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The road to formulaic romantic-comedy complications and ethic clichs is paved with good intentions in first-time filmmaker Jay Jonroy's cross-culture love story, which might as well be called My Big Fat Kurdish Wedding. February 15, 2008 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A spread-thin but likable concoction that sets out to be a cross-ethnic romance, an explicit sex farce, a sober statement of the plight of the Kurdish people and, I think, a plea for world peace. October 4, 2007 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
