reeling from a recent divorce, who meets David
(BRYAN GREENBERG, television's One Tree Hill), a

meets the day-to-day realities of an adult
relationship.

David and Rafi must contend with a 14-year age gap, vastly different backgrounds and the demands
of David's traditional mother. A frank look at a modern, urban romance, this film candidly and
humorously explores the joy of falling head over heels for someone—and the struggles that
inevitably follow.

Prime is a cute romantic comedy about Rafi (Uma Thurman), a recently divorced 37-year-old
woman who gets involved with a 23-year-old hunk, David (Bryan Greenberg). The hunk happens to
be the son of Rafi's psychiatrist, Lisa Merzger (Meryl Streep). The problem is not the age difference
but the fact that Lisa wants David to marry a Jewish girl and have Jewish babies. Meryl Streep is
fun to watch as the controlling Jewish mom who's trying to keep it professional with her patient.
Thurman and Greenberg have great chemistry despite there age difference. Writer/director Ben
Younger doesn't give this movie the fairytale ending which makes it more believable. If you are
looking for a smart, romantic comedy, then Prime is your number!
