Movie Pick: Arranged

At the recommendation of my daughter, Francesca, I've just finished watching a delightful movie about two pious women of different faiths.

From Netflix:

When Rochel and Nasira -- an Orthodox Jew and a Muslim, respectively -- meet as new teachers at a Brooklyn school, co-workers and students expect friction. But the women discover they have a shared expectation of entering into arranged marriages. As they experience tension between their traditional cultures and life in contemporary America, Rochel and Nasira form a special bond.

1. Basically, it's about two women holding onto traditional values in a society that doesn't share their point of view,
2. It's a lesson on cultural diversity that isn't dripping with annoying political correctness,
3. It's a respectful view of faith issues, and
4. It's two beautiful pictures of family life.

All in all, the best chick-flick I've seen in a long time! (And it's a Netflix instant watch option.)
