Product: Prime
Rating: 2.0
Not the worst movie I've ever seen, but definitely not one of the best!
When I saw the previews for Prime, I thought it would be a really good movie, but I after watching it I was rather disappointed. The situation is not very believable (a woman seeing a much younger man who happens to be her therapist's son), but the greatest disappointment is the fact that the movie doesn't have much of a plot to go on. It is almost like a half-hour sitcom stretched out too far. After Lisa, the therapist, reveals to Rafi that she knows that the man she's dating is her son, there isn't much left to go on.David and Rafi are happy at first. Then there's friction after David moves in with Rafi (understandably) because he appears to be taking advantage of her. She breaks up with David; then they're back together. The they break up again. It's almost as though the writer is buying time in order to make a movie.I also found Rafi's detailed descriptions to Lisa about her sex life with David to be in extremely poor taste. Also the fact that Lisa seems more concerned that Rafi isn't Jewish than she is about the fact that she's much older than David isn't believable. The idea of David' best friend throwing pies in the faces of girl who reject him is really dumb.There are only two good things I can say about Prime. One is that the ending is not as predictable as it is with so many movies. The other is the clever irony of Rafi's real name being Rafael, and David being an artist.
