Prime...

She is 37 (Uma Thurman as Rafi) just out of a divorce when she meets a new “him” (Bryan Greenberg as David) who when he tells her he is 23, she replies with a wonderful line,
“I have t-shirts older than you!”

His friend visits a girl he finishes with and plunges a cream cake into her face. Her immediate reaction is to call upon macho support so there is an immediate and amusing chase.

Her therapist turns out to be her new man’s Mum! Confiding the most explicit of moments to her therapist, she receives some absolutely believable facial and body language responses from Meryl Streep who is cast so well.

Guy tells Mum (her therapist) she is 27 when he knows full well she is 37. She tells her therapist (his Mum, although she does not know it during the initial consultations) that the new man on the scene is 27 making him 10 years younger than herself which is a hard enough nettle to grasp.

Coming to terms with age difference presents issues. He believes age is nothing to get hung up about. She blurts out to the therapist he’s 23, a lie through embarrassment.

When the therapist discovers after a series of subtle questions - a process of elimination, it’s her son, the quandary that unravels is amusing.

I guess chemistry is an essential ingredient to achieve living, loving and laughing to the maximum.

It’s a stark reminder how support, attention and spontaneity are important features of sustaining romance and a healthy, positive relationship.

A must for anyone’s collection of Films DVD’s/blue ray etc

It will make you wear a broad beam of a smile, a number of times. Good therapy!

The music chosen throughout this film is also just brilliant.

I score this film 9 (10 is high)
