"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Prime | 2005 | PG-13 | - 7.2.5

A 37-year-old woman (Uma Thurman) who's just been divorced after a nine year marriage, takes the advice of her therapist (Meryl Streep) and starts dating again. When she meets a man who's a decade younger, she shares the intimate details of their relationship with her therapist, while neither of the women is initially aware that the young man is actually the therapist's 23-year-old son. When they do, both women must deal with issues of trust and ethics. Also with Bryan Greenberg, Jon Abrahams and Jerry Adler. Directed by Ben Younger. [1:46]

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
