Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Davis P Prime starring Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman and Bryan Greenberg is not exactly your typical romantic Hollywood movie. Streep is of course great in her role as the therapist of the 37 year old woman her 23 year old son is currently seeing. Uma Thurman was pretty good Rafael. I liked her performance mostly in the dramatic scenes, the deep talks her and Greenberg would have. Bryan Greenberg also gives a very good performance here, he wasn't just the cliché male love interest, his performance gives his character a good amount of depth. I liked the chemistry between Greenberg and Thurman, it worked. Good on screen chemistry is sooo damn important, without it, why should I as the viewer care about what happens to these people in the romantic relationship? Streep's chemistry with Thurman during the therapy sessions works too. That is mainly where the comedy comes into play. Hearing Thurman vividly describe the sexual proclivities of her and Streep's son is just flat out hysterical! Some of the lines of dialogue Thurman has to deliver with such passion are so hilarious, and Streep's horrified reaction to it all is perfect! Awesome comedic situation. That really was the only part of the whole movie where I laughed and thought what was happening was funny, which is good because the rest of the film is supposed to be dramatic, and the drama works very well. The ending to the movie isn't cliché, and I love it for that! The ending is actually very touching. 8/10

Raul Faust "Prime" is a film that has been successful in Brazil back when released, and I remember seeing it when I was much younger. The storyline invented for this flick is very creative and original; there are very good scenes written over this psychoanalyst and patient relationship, due to the embarrassing moments the professional gets into. The character of Meryl Streep is just GREAT, as always... Is she always given good characters or does she turn them great? Anyway, Lisa Metzger happens to be a sincere psychologist, who carries the soul of a mother. Bryan Greenberg does a great in job in portraying David, thanks to his spontaneous way of acting. Photography and overall directing aren't anything marvelous, and so isn't the soundtrack, but the performances and the embarrassing- hilarious plot are what turn "Prime" into a delightful and entertaining picture to be seen. However, it could've still been better, if we didn't have those situations that only happen in Hollywood movies, like meeting the one you just broke up with in the market in a 8 million population city. Oh, and for some reason, it felt occasionally overlong to me, albeit being only 105 minutes long, the only reason why I don't give it a better rating.

saltwtr1 This movie supposed to be a "romantic comedy" but there is no comedy in the entire movie. The acting is terrible and the plot is predictable and boring. It is another one of those "Jewish family" movies that are so predictable.I found a few scenes offensive as there are several "jabs" at those of the Christian faith. If the story was about a protestant family and the "jabs" had been about those of the Jewish faith they would be termed anti-semitic.I rented this movie because of the cast, but Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman showed their age and probably gave one of their worst, if not the worst performances, of their career. Greenberg is no better, playing the part of a young immature male that thinks nothing of "boinking" any female he can get into his bed.Don't waste your time with this one.

thomvic I initially thought this movie was gonna be a slap stick sort of comedy with physical humour - you know those types of comedies you're so used to seeing Sandra Bullock play in. And she was meant to star in this - well I can say I am happy she didn't especially if she was going to turn it into her usual formula, because Uma Thurman pulls this off very well.This film deals with the issues of women dating much younger men and what it takes for the relationship to work. It also deals with issues such as how a therapist should deal with their patient when it comes to personal issues that involve both of them directly.David Bloomberg (Bryan Greenberg) is 23 years old and starts seeing Rafi (Uma Thurman) despite not knowing she is 37 years old. While they both agree that they can try things out, things get a little complicated when his mother, Lisa (Meryl Streep) discovers that his son is dating her patient, Rafi. So Lisa has the ethical dilemma of looking out for her son and also looking out for her patient.It's a fun premise, and it gets clever in exploring some issues that are apparent in society. Such as, what does it take to actually become a man, what do older women want in men and also when should parents, and in this case, traditional mothers let go of their kids so they can make their own choices.I thoroughly enjoyed this film and the performances were overall fine. Uma Thurman is just beautiful and Bryan Greenberg makes a good match for her and have on screen chemistry. Streep is decent as usual and is just one of those actresses who you can imagine can play anyone when she puts her mind into it.I also liked the fact that this doesn't follow the same sort of formula that most romantic comedies do. While some may think this initially as a chick flick, it really isn't because it mainly gives the point of view of the guy in this situation. He is the central character.*****MINOR SPOILER********** It also gives a good message at the end, that despite two people loving each other regardless of cultural or age difference, sometimes love may not be enough to keep two people together. There is just that time in your life when you reach your 'prime' so in this case, it is David who is at his prime in terms of sexual discovery, intimacy and finding out how to slowly become a man with responsibilities.I would have liked them to explore Rafi's character more in terms of her motivations etc. We get to see David's family and everything, but we don't really get to know a lot about her history etc. All we know is that she just got divorced, but why didn't it work out? They could have developed that aspect a lot more, but I guess the main reason is to explore David's motivations rather than hers. But it could have been more interesting if they had taken it down that road as well.This is a good film that doesn't take itself too seriously, nor does it dwelve into unintelligent meanings. Well worth a look!
