Prime Reviews
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Streep, beaming in her horn-rimmed glasses and spouting platitudes like 'Focus on the now, for now,' makes it all a treat.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
A cut above the formulaic romances Hollywood typically grinds out.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The sort of movie where all of the best jokes are in the trailer, but these days a romantic comedy with anything worth quoting at all is something of an accomplishment.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Occasionally amusing, generally fatuous.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
All that really keeps Prime from being a one-gag, one-dimensional affair is Streep.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Not quite a romantic comedy, Prime is a hybrid of conflicting tones.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It offers an unlikely romance in a somewhat comic situation, finding both humor and emotional truth.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A surprisingly smart romantic comedy.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
A film that's often a riot, with laughter growing out of identifiable human behavior.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Director and cast are smart enough to not shy away from a romantic comedy that can only end, if not badly, then at least in the melancholy tears of lessons hard won.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
The writing and direction by Ben Younger is crisp and insightful enough to prevail, and the performances are all very good.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Follows a familiar boy-meets-girl scenario, but Younger turns the routine into combustible fun.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Refreshingly bright, unpredictable and intelligent while still offering moments of giddy humor that take you totally by surprise.
Village Voice
Ben Kenigsberg
Not quite a romance by numbers, Prime is nevertheless a movie we need like a hole in the head.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Streep's character -- a humorous blend of open-minded therapist and neurotic Jewish mother -- makes the movie worth watching.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
As with most contemporary attempts at the kind of sophisticated romantic comedies that used to be Hollywood's specialty of the house, this one shrivels and flames out.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
[Thurman's] summery radiance helps make this thin romantic comedy hard to dislike.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Something about the way it ends feels like a cop-out, and the opportunities for humor aren't exploited quite as well as they could be.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
With its ambiguous title and tepid love story, the only thing going for Prime is Meryl Streep.
Newsday
John Anderson
Offers a few laughs, enough formula to fill a bathtub, and Meryl Streep, who is always enjoyable to watch, even if the movie around her isn't.
