Prime (2005)
6/10
A failed romantic comedy, but a Good Romance
9 September 2007
I was looking forward to Prime thinking it would be another brilliant Uma Thurman movie but it turned out to fail as a romantic comedy. Very few romantic comedies are successful at the moment, so I'm not usually surprised when I watch one that isn't that funny, but Uma Thurman and Merryl Streep would of been able to deliver something hilarious.

I am a devoted Uma Thurman fan, I think she was brilliant in both Kill Bills and great in My Super Ex Girlfriend, but this movie is, in my opinion, only just worth watching as a comedy. There were some scenes that would give a few laughs but I'm disappointed in the rest of the movie's humour. However the romance side of it is done very well. A classic story with a couple of twists about an older sensible woman looking to settle down meets a young guy who wants a good time. They start to go out not knowing that the guy's mother is the woman's shrink.
