	Author	Review
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"A pleasant but pat story in which bridges are built across religious, racial and generational divides in a way that happens far more often in feel-good movies than in real life."	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"[A] British comedy that feels like an unproduced sitcom pilot from the 1970s. Fortunately, the terrific lead performances (...) are enough to help 'Dough' rise above its formulaic ingredients."	NEU
United States	Sheila O'Malley rogerebert.com	"Mostly cliched (...) The film is not subtle, and telegraphs 'who people are' with the broadest of strokes (...) There's very little subtext in 'Dough' (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Stephanie Merry Chicago Tribune	"Simplistic, stale and sitcom-ish (...) [It serves] up a recipe that we've not only had many times before, but we've had enough of (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"It’s tempting to ask whether the writers were high when they came up with the concept for 'Dough' (...) Possibly in an attempt to circumvent clichés, the movie is an odd combination of them"	NEG
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"A stickily genteel, cross-cultural comedy-drama that comes up blandly lacking on all counts (...) The humor (...) is disappointingly stale"	NEG
United States	Tom Keogh Seattle Times	"It is always essentially entertaining and warm in its observations of hope rekindled through simple relationships (...) A fine showcase for star Jonathan Pryce (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
