A 37 éves Rafi (Uma Thurman) most vált el férjétől. Lelki problémáit egy pszichiáternővel, Dr. Lisa Metzgerrel (Meryl Streep) beszéli meg, aki azt javasolja neki, hogy éljen, kössön új ismeretségeket és hódítson, csak ez segíthet feldolgozni házassága kudarcát. Nem is lát benne semmi furcsát, amikor kis idő múlva Rafi boldogan beszámol arról, hogy megismerkedett és beleszeretett egy nála fiatalabb fiúba, a festészettel foglalkozó, nagyon tehetséges és lehengerlő egyéniségű Davidbe (Bryan Greenberg). Ám ahogy jönnek az újabb és újabb információk a lángoló szerelemről, a pszichiáternő rádöbben, hogy Rafi a saját 23 éves fiával bonyolódott szerelembe. (SPI)

Ben Younger is evidently a very mature guy and a skillful director who can captivate the viewer with even the smallest detail. There is no unnecessary sentimentality, very few clichés, plenty of creativity, freshness, and directorial ingenuity, with non-forced humor and, above all, wonderfully played characters. Many scenes touch will touch your heart and many will pleasantly amuse you. Intelligent humor is present throughout the film and never descends into awkwardness. In these days of American Pie and similar crap, this is more than a pleasant relief.

That sneaky Ben Younger has probably experienced beautiful things in his life when he can show the desire of two people in such a nice way, precisely express the feelings appropriate to those times of life (the sudden feeling of falling in love, the pain of a breakup when remembering a seemingly trivial thing), and on top of that, create a beautiful, realistic, and emotionally stirring ending that makes me know that Prime won't easily disappear from my mind. Up to that point, he had been working with an above-average script that elevated the slightly predictable pattern of a potential mother-in-law and potential daughter-in-law relationship to a different level, where a series of obligatory clichés (a walk in a closed park, a dinner at a place that impresses the partner) don't bother you at all, and indeed are downright enjoyable. Thanks to the divine Meryl Streep, I often laughed, supported the appealing Bryan Greenberg, and longed for the beautiful Uma Thurman. It's a shame that the movie couldn't go beyond the obligatory boundaries of the frequent "I'm sorry" and "I'm not sure", otherwise it could have been worth five stars. The final scene is one of the most expressive and impressive romantic finishes, thanks to the actors.

What I liked about this movie was that it wasn't just about a relationship between a 23-year-old guy and a 37-year-old woman. It also shows the relationship between a mother and her son and a psychologist and her patient. No hysterical scenes, no hair pulling... and as such I found the film reasonable and enjoyable. Plus, the only film where I like Uma Thurman. 4 stars.
