Movie Review: DOUGH (2016) B

British: use subtitles

A harmless light movie about a group of people in England . . . both young and old, Jew and Muslim that can work together in harmony.  A bright spot considering the politics of today on TV

Edited from Rotten Tomatoes:  A curmudgeonly widower Nat Dayan clings to his way of life as a Kosher bakery shop owner in London's East End. Understaffed, Nat reluctantly enlists the help of African/Muslim teenager Ayyash, who has a secret side gig selling marijuana to help his immigrant mother make ends meet. When Ayyash accidentally drops his stash into the mixing dough, the challah starts flying off the shelves and an unlikely friendship forms between the old Jewish baker and his young Muslim apprentice. DOUGH is a warmhearted and humorous story about overcoming prejudice and finding redemption in unexpected places.
