'Prime'
![Ben Younger's "Prime" has to have one of the most appealing comedic premises in a long time; when I first heard about it, I had the feeling I'd been waiting for it. The story sets up one of the most squirm-inducing triangles ever committed to film: Thirty-seven-year-old Rafi Gardet (Uma Thurman) has just gone through a painful divorce, throughout which she has relied on the support and encouragement of her therapist, Lisa Metzger (Meryl Streep). When Rafi meets a cute 23-year-old painter named Dave Bloomberg (Bryan Greenberg), she is charmed but hesitant to get involved. Ever supportive, Lisa urges Rafi to have fun while it lasts — until she discovers that the lad in question is her own son. Lisa must decide whether to continue treating the fragile Rafi, on the chance that the affair will play itself out, or come clean about what she knows.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-10/20191112.jpg "Ben Younger's "Prime\" has to have one of the most appealing comedic premises in a long time; when I first heard about it, I had the feeling I'd been waiting for it.
