Lots of laughs among realistic problems
The premise of this movie is shown in the trailers--a therapist (Meryl Streep)has a client (Uma Thurman)who is dating her son (Bryan Greenberg). Streep encourages Uma to enjoy herself and continue dating this young man, but her double standard shows up when she encourages her son to break up with his girlfriend (while not knowing who the girlfriend is.) There are two main problems in the relationship--Thurman is 14 years older than Greenberg, and she is not Jewish. The movie intelligently explores the ramifications of both problems, and comes up with a pretty realistic conclusion. There are lots of laughs sprinkled in, especially when Thurman confides the details of her sexual life with Streep (after Streep finds out who she's dating.) The three main actors are all very good in their roles and I enjoyed this movie very much.
