Davis P Prime starring Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman and Bryan Greenberg is not exactly your typical romantic Hollywood movie. Streep is of course great in her role as the therapist of the 37 year old woman her 23 year old son is currently seeing. Uma Thurman was pretty good Rafael. I liked her performance mostly in the dramatic scenes, the deep talks her and Greenberg would have. Bryan Greenberg also gives a very good performance here, he wasn't just the cliché male love interest, his performance gives his character a good amount of depth. I liked the chemistry between Greenberg and Thurman, it worked. Good on screen chemistry is sooo damn important, without it, why should I as the viewer care about what happens to these people in the romantic relationship? Streep's chemistry with Thurman during the therapy sessions works too. That is mainly where the comedy comes into play. Hearing Thurman vividly describe the sexual proclivities of her and Streep's son is just flat out hysterical! Some of the lines of dialogue Thurman has to deliver with such passion are so hilarious, and Streep's horrified reaction to it all is perfect! Awesome comedic situation. That really was the only part of the whole movie where I laughed and thought what was happening was funny, which is good because the rest of the film is supposed to be dramatic, and the drama works very well. The ending to the movie isn't cliché, and I love it for that! The ending is actually very touching. 8/10

fldelk-1 I realize this was a movie, but the idea that a counselor would continue to see a patient who was in a relationship with her son is so unethical I could not enjoy what few pleasures there were in this movie.I reduced my rating when I considered the "ick factor" of a mother discussing her son's penis with his lover.The best thing about the movie was the song at the end, "I Wish You Love," by Rachel Yamagata.SPOILER ALERT I will say I did appreciate the movie's refusal to go with the love conquers all ending. I don't like sad movies, but why no one makes movies with that exquisite pain of lost love like "The Way We Were."

Rodeo Bubbles Whiter It was watchable... just about. It isn't a really bad film, but it has practically no storyline, and it drags on WAY too long. Also the ending is rather terrible. I think it had a lot of potential to be a good film with the scenario that it revolves around... but the script and storyline was far too restricting and nothing happened throughout the whole film really. On top of this it made me feel like yelling at the characters for being annoying. I found that I just thought the film was a bit stupid and the characters were irritating. The cast was good, Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep both acted well as usual... but their talents were kinda wasted on this. All in all... it's pretty terrible to be honest.

brent-leslie I normally don't enjoy "rom coms" all that much so are finding myself loving this one (from a 30 yo male!), but would consider this a drama - not a comedy.I can't really understand some of the negative reviewers comments for this. Most of them state that "it's not really believable that these problems exist in todays world" (referring to problems of age/religious differences of two people in a relationship) or that they concentrate on small details without seeing the message the film delivers. However it is believable that a virus breaks out and turns everyone in the world to zombies leaving a few survivors to hack and slash their way to salvation without looking at the small details of how this could be stopped. I think this speaks volumes about some reviewers tastes.This film sets up a premise just as others do. That's what films do, they set up a premise and then play out what the writers believe what would happen subsequently, through the eyes of a director. And this movie does this with exceptional writing, direction and editing with a superb bunch of actors. Uma Thurman comes into her own on this one and her interaction with Merryl Streep is palpable as is the chemistry she has with the male lead.The premise is a 37 yo recent divorcée that starts a relationship with a 23 yo man who happens to be her therapists son. That is not so unbelievable is it? There are religious differences between the couple that have to be dealt with by everyone involved which occurs in a real and believable way. The movie goes on to examine a dilemma faced by many couples - can love conquer all? Is love enough in todays world where people have so many commitments and expectations on them from society, their family and peers? The movie explores these issues with accuracy and feeling.There are some small issues with the movie that could have been cleared up, hence the lack of full marks. The sidekick with the pie throwing issue is one (wouldn't he have been arrested/got beaten up by now??), the stereotypical gay friends (though they were very well acted roles) and the amazing paintings by the male lead come to mind (showing a maturity well beyond most 23 year olds). This however is a stunning examination of modern relationships that will remain in memory for years to come. 8.5/10
