'Prime' example of genuine entertainment...
I personally loved this movie. I thought it was fresh and fun and completely delightful. Uma is undeniable charming as Rafi, a 37-year old divorcee who feels her life is all but over. Her only confidant is found in her Jewish therapist Lisa (Streep), that is until she meets and falls head over heals for 23-year old David (Greenberg) who just so happens to be Lisa's son. No one in the situation is privy to what's really going on until Lisa puts all the pieces together and realizes that this man she's been advising her patient to pursue is indeed her son who she's been urging to `dump' his newfound non-Jewish girlfriend. The film is funny and smart and never delves too far into the absurd. Thanks to the chemistry between the entire cast and the hilarious if not somewhat predictable script (I say somewhat since I really truly didn't expect the ending) `Prime' rises above mediocrity and delivers an entertaining and fun ride. Meryl Streep is always atop her game and Uma can now add `Meg Ryan' status to her resume for she embodied her character and proved she can really pull off the romantic-comedy. I loved it and hope you will too.
