"Rafi" (Uma Thurman) is on the rebound from a messy divorce when she meets the charismatic young artist "David" (Bryan Greenberg). In theory they have nothing in common - and she is fourteen years older than him. That's not going to stop them though, and she begins to regale her shrink (Meryl Streep) with tales of her new found affection. Sure, it's about sex - but she likes him - she's not that shallow. Their relationship is soon burgeoning; they are meeting friends and becoming a couple. Then the bombshell - his mother is her shrink! With the secrets out and his mother now aware rather embarrassingly of some details about his penis, the whole scenario must recalibrate. Can the couple make a go of things or is it all just an hormonal fling that will peter out? It's not terrible this film, helped not least by a Streep who plays the Jewish mother-cum-psychiatrist quite amusingly in the few scenes she graces. There's also a decent enough - if maybe a little too sincere - rapport between Thurman and her eye candy and it does occasionally make you wonder what age (or religion) ought to have to do with people falling in love (or even lust for that matter). The conclusion is pretty weak, I thought, and sort of falls between two stools despite the best efforts of the concierge "Damien" (Ato Essandoh). The production is a bit soapy at times, indeed plenty of it looked like a studio-based sitcom but with this cast and a bit of goodwill, you'll probably not hate it - I didn't.
