Prime
I enjoyed this comedy. It may not be the best movie ever but Ben Younger’s second film has three great assets. One is a very realistic and witty script which comes across as genuine and batty and so much the opposite of the Da Vinci Code. Secondly, any film with the luminous Uma Thurman 
gets a few extra points. She doesn’t do that much here but she looks great and she is a sort of icon. Finally, a lesson in comic acting by Meryl Streep with her famous ability at accents (New York Jewish shrink, this time) thrown in. 
Various scenes had me laughing out loud and as a whole I just enjoyed Prime from start to finish. The ending is not entirely convincing and there are questionable elements (the pie throwing friend) but overall it works. Good music too and lots to think about regarding relationships with large age differences.
