I'm not sure why it was titled what it was...but anyway. This movie had so much potential. If you saw the preview, you saw the movie pretty much. The story is about a lady (Uma Thurman) who has a psychiatrist (Meryl... Full review

I was lucky enough to see this movie at a film festival and was blown away by it. The movie is hilarious, touching, and unpredictable. The movie side-steps the old romanitc comedy cliches and, in doing so, transends the formula. I... Full review

I liked the movie, but I felt the ending was ridiculous. If this had been an older man and a younger woman, they would have made it work. This movie had the feel of being "politically correct", because of course we... Full review

The trailer for this movie leads you to believe the story will be completely different than what it is. The ending for me completely SUCKED! There were several funny moments in the film, but the ending totally ruined it for me.... Full review

I guffawed throughout the movie. Thought it was thoroughly enjoyable... I was worried that the previews gave away too much... and though I still think they did... I loved it nonetheless. Previews did not affect the humor at all.... Full review

The certificate belies the film's rather adult content throughout the 105 minutes but Prime is worth seeing simply to enjoy one of the best manhood gags ever.
With Streep effectively cast as a 'shrink-ing' violet, Thurman has the best of it as the central character, while little known Greenberg struggles to suggest that Dave really could woo her.

Although Prime doesn't present the best performance from Steep or Thurman, the movie is funny at times, and has enough laughs to make up for some of the weaker moments in the film (mostly towards the end).
Thanks to a quirky performance from Oscar winner Meryl Streep, Prime, the romantic comedy with Streep and Academy Award nominee Uma Thurman, manages to deliver some laughs throughout the movie even if it runs out of steam before the credits roll.

Prime" follows this same recipe, but adds an interesting twist which doesn't get the attention you'd think it would.
Sprinkle in some jokes, physical humor, and a hefty helping of cheesy pop music and you got yourself a romantic comedy.

they've chosen the right movie for themselves....Another very big factor to "Prime" being so warm....Thurman successfully looks older in a few shots.....Prime" is full of the charm that's usually missing in high-concept romantic comedies that always want to get somewhere.... ... Full Review

Seriously was a great movie.
Uma looks radiant and the film is well shot.
Bryan Greenberg - wow.
It's not an edge of your seat type of movie - but it's lighthearted and worthy of a few laughs..
