Funny and Heartbreaking
Rafi is a 37-year old career woman who falls for an impossible cute and talented 23-year old artist. Oh, and he just happens to be the son of her therapist. Don't be deceived, however. This movie wears a light-hearted face, but it covers many deep and often insurmountable issues that lovers face. Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman are both great, as usual, and I wasn't familiar before with the work of Bryan Greenberg, but he's good as well. It begins with the usual flutters and "oh my God, me too!" moments that anyone has likely experienced on a first date. And you soon begin to believe that, indeed, love conquers all. There are a few laughs and a few romantic moments, but I would hesitate to categorize the film as a romantic comedy. The end of the movie is bittersweet, but the chemistry between Thurman and Greenberg is truly beautiful. Definitely worth a look.
