Surprisingly wonderful and meaningful
The goddess-like Uma Thurman plays Rafi, a 37 year-old single woman who falls in love with 23 year-old David. This is an extremely unconventional love story because of the way it is executed and its brilliant creativity. Ultimately this is a tale of the implications of falling head over heels in love with someone who is on a different level of maturity. It is real, it is sweet, and it is funny as hell. A brilliant addition to the suspense and hilarity of the movie is the mother-therapist element. Meryl Streep plays Rafi's therapist. The part that sets up the movie perfectly is that Rafi doesn't know that her therapist is also her young boyfriend's mother. The exchanges between Rafi and the therapist are cleverly thought out and hilarious, especially when Rafi starts divulging to her therapist their sexual escapades.The thing to remember while watching this movie is that it's real. What you'll come away with is an understanding of the human reality of this type of romance.
