Prime is a sophisticated, character comedy set in New York City about Rafi (Thurman), a recently divorced 37-year-old career woman from Manhattan, and what happens when Dave (Greenberg), a talented 23-year-old painter from Brooklyn, falls in love with her. Prime looks at love from everyone's point of view--friends, relatives and in this case, Rafi's therapist (Streep)--and follows all who come apart, and some who pull it together, when two people fall in love.

Prime, by Ben Younger

October 30, 2005

The movie really makes you laugh. All of the acting was to its greatest and nothing was overdone. I was really pleased because i went in for a comedy and came out with success.
