You won't be disappointed!

hyped garbage

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is a pretty much stock sophisticated romantic comedy. By sophisticated I mean the characters are a bit deeper and a lot of the zaniness has been removed.This means the film is a lot less 'fun' and don't expect big belly laughs. There is a lot of humour in the film mainly dealing with age differences, family roles and awkward situations.Everyone in the film from Meryl to the lighting guys did a good job and the end effect is quite well polished.I enjoyed this film but nothing grabbed me. I didn't fall in love with any of the characters and I wasn't particularly bothered how they all ended up.A good solid movie but nothing special.

Well most divorce woman are as warped or more then the one Urma is portraying and most woman in that age although maybe sexually in their prime are fat and worn out emotionally likely self inflicted and very common. Not every woman in that age has 300 + Million in her bank account and hence it is a privilege to woman that have and not woman that have only attitude and can't deliver a flat stomach nor some cash from the bank account. So all in all, this movie is painting the wrong picture and makes woman expect even more then they already do. It is rated a comedy but still has an aversive Jewish message to the gentiles which is rather an ugly soap bubble and confusing for most older woman at best. I ironed my shirts while watching it painfully to the end and recommend it as a confusing movie to all that need to be more confused.

My biggest problem with Prime is that it is not a consistent movie but rather felt like 2 separate movies - a cute romantic comedy taking over the first half and a dull romantic drama taking over the second half.I quite enjoyed the first half of the movie; it was light hearted and cute and the whole dynamic with Meryl Streep (Lisa) being Uma Thurman (Rafi)'s psychiatrist but also Bryan Greenberg (David)'s mother was very enjoyable to watch. Basically, Lisa is Rafi's long standing psychiatrist. Rafi is a recent 37 year old divorcée who, through a friend, meets David, a 23 year old aspiring artist. David pursues Rafi and the two hit it off. Problem? Lisa is David's Mother and also Rafi's psychiatrist. At first Lisa doesn't realize that Rafi's new man is her son because Rafi lies about the age difference and David also lies about the age difference to his Mother but eventually the pieces come together and Lisa has to decide whether to step down as Rafi's shrink or continue to help her and in turn betray her trust. The whole dynamic is light and fun and lends itself to quite a few laughs.The problem? Half way through the movie all is revealed and the movie turns into a romantic drama between Rafi and David. The laughs take a backseat and the focus is on whether or not they can make it as a real couple. I personally do not like movies about a boy and a girl and their drama. I found the last half hour to be painstakingly boring and I found myself questioning where the fun and laughter from the first half of the movie went. It was really hard to sit through the usual woes of an on screen couple complete with breakups, makeups, the usual tearful apology, the 'let me run into you at the store' moment, etc... It all depends on what type of movie you enjoy. The trailers for this movie along with the description set the scene of a funny romantic comedy but the reality is that the first half of the movie is just that, the second half? Usual couple drama minus barely any laughs. If you like that? Great but if you don't? BEWARE.5/10

The story drew me as I wanted to see how this scenario played out. Obviously, the reality of it was marred by the fact that Meryl Streep was the boy's mother. That said, I thought that that bit of oddity would add some comic relief once Rafi found out. But it didn't. In fact, the discovery was completely anti-climactic, and therefore a huge disappointment. But the story was real in a lot of ways and dealt with issues facing an "upside-down" relationship. As for the acting, I found that the boy's acting was so slow, so quiet, I almost wanted to shake the TV to wake him up. He was boring. Cute, but boring. Uma Thurman I like normally, and she is good in this, realistic. But poor Meryl Streep, what a waste of her talent. Either she was really not into it, or she was showing up for the money, or the part was just that bad. With a better script, I think the part could've been great for her, so that is too bad. As for the flow, blech, and that's the reason for the 3. It moved so slowly, but it didn't flow, and I don't know how one achieves that, but either the editing was awful or the directing stunk. Almost elementary, like a first time at the feature film genre, there were so many scenes that didn't really flow nicely, so you had to wonder "hmmm, did I fall asleep for a few seconds and miss something?" Even if you left the film script as is, I would take another shot at the editing and try again to get some flow so even if it slow and thoughtful, you stayed engaged instead of having to pop out of the film when it suddenly shifts.
