A movie that cuts through a lot of the typical hollywood BS storyline and BS characters with BS emotions.

Meryl Streep is an absolute joy to watch. She can do it all. So her character and the plot weren't totally realistic. But who cares. It's a comedy. In fact I'd say it was somewhat in keeping with the screwball comedies of the 40's. Uma Thurman delivered a first rate performance. It was nice to see her in a non-Tarantino film. The woman can act. I also liked the fact that the ending wasn't your typical Hollywood, everything works out perfectly ending.… Expand

The critics who gave this movie a bad score obviously have no emotions and have never been in a relationship like the one portrayed in this film. While the relationship does feel a bit forced and superficial at the beginning, you really begin to empathize with the characters and understand what they're experiencing. Meryl Streep is great as always, and Uma Thurman really outdoes herself as well. The new guy is pretty good too. Plus, for those who claim that the movie goes nowhere, it's because it has a realistic finish. It kind of feels like a big-budget movie trying to be an indie, or perhaps the other way around.… Expand

I've been recommending this movie to everyone I know. It's absolutely terrific. The characters are so real, and everything just works in this gem. It has a "real" ending, too, like real life, not some Tinseltown fantasy. Don't miss it!

Fantastic meryl streep is SO funny and SO touching.

Deliciously fun and entertaining, the funniest comedy of the year with an authentic and sincere romantic love storyline.

I really enjoyed this one. Often, these movies are cute but boring, but this one was witty and entertaining. I thoroughly enjjoyed it.

One of the best romantic comedies in the last ten years. This is truly a wonderful film, filled with laughs and heartbreak, too. One of Uma Thurman's best roles.

A real treat. Interesting three-dimensional, real characters with genuine flaws. Not tied up with a neat little bow at the end. It was marketed as a "romantic comedy," but that's selling it short, because genre branding has become such a pejorative. It has some very, very funny moments and scenes, but it also has much more depth and reality than most big Hollywood films. The three leads are outstanding.… Expand

I really enjoyed this movie no matter what the critics or stuck up movie junkies said. The movie is funny, sexy, scandalous and just plain good. Uma looks so great in this movie that I just wanted to be Brian Greenberg for 5 minutes. The only improvement I would suggest is to set up the mother son relationship better because all of us don't come from a Jewish home. We need to understand the overbearing Jewish mother more, as well as Uma's insecurities. All we get is that she is newly divorced. Otherwise I really enjoyed this film, especially the anti-Hollywood ending. Cheers!… Expand

I absolutely loved this movie! Although I am a sucker for romantic comedies, I don't say about many movies. Prime is different from most of the crap that is out there. The characters are realistic. The preformances are outstanding. The ending just brings the whole film together. Go see it!

Kate and Leapold style. Wonderful romantic comedy with subub preformences

My wife and I both tremendously enjoyed this movie. We agreed it's as strong as "Annie Hall". I was surprised to read that Sandra Bullock originally was to appear in the Uma Thurman role. I think that would've been a big mistake. Miss Thurman brought so much heart to this movie. We've been recommending it to all our friends. It's just wonderful.

I loved this movie. It seemed so real about genuine people. It had something to say. The end left me with real tears. See it and be surprised.
