Prime

This was a pretty good movie. It did have one big problem which you can read about farther down in the red spoiler area. All the acting was good which was vitally important to the movie. Sometimes with comedies they can still play well with subpar acting this was not one of them. This was one where you had to pay attention and keep up with the dialogue to catch the jokes. You also have to keep up with everything that's been happening because it isn't one of those set up the one-liner kind of scripts. A lot of it just came from natural dialogue that was made funnier by knowing what came before it or was quite possibly coming after it. I have a tendancy to laugh so hard at stuff that I miss some of the follow up laughs. This moive had everyone laughing so hard at times that even if I had stopped laughing it would have mattered because you couldn't hear the dialogue over the laughter.


Don't read if you don't want to know what happens this will give away a major plot point.


First off while the thing with David's friend throwing pies in the faces of women who don't want to go on a second date was mildly amusing it was also very lame. That was the only time you saw any of his friends just that one guy and his immaturity. Of course when it came to the friends and age stereotypes the movie didn't do much to dispel them. David had one friend who was very immature and that did eventually rub off on him. Rafi on the other hand worked in the fashion industry and had three gay male friends and one heterosexual female friend who were all very mature and wanted to settle down.

Rafi had her immature moments. She wants to see other people and then throws a fit when she found out he had a one nighter with one of the models she works with. They never established that her and the model had anything but a working relationship so she had no business getting so pissed about it.

Loved when he brought her to his place, which was his grandparents' place. Uma did a a great job of collapsing in shock and embarrassment over that.

Now to the movies big problem to me and that was the ending. I don't mind that they didn't end up together, but the way they orchastrated it was awful. Rafi spends all this time whining about him not being able to give her what she needs (when what she really means is what she wants a a baby and a family) and then when he's finally getting on track with his career and willing to give her what she wants she tells him no because he will regret it. I can't stand taht whole telling someone what they want and feel thing. While it didn't completely destroy the movie it did make me dislike Rafi a lot.


Despite my one issue with the plot it was still worth the full price of admission.
