Plot
- Tagline: A therapeutic new comedy.
The film is a character comedy set in New York City. Rafi (Uma Thurman) is a recently divorced, 37-year-old career woman from Manhattan. David (Bryan Greenberg), a talented 23-year-old jewish painter from Brooklyn, falls in love with her. Rafi shares all her secrets with her therapist Lisa (Meryl Streep). Unbeknownst to Rafi, Lisa happens to be David's mother. This becomes clear to Lisa after some time, but she does not tell David (because she has to keep patient info confidential), and she tells Lisa only after five more weeks, because at first she does not want to stop the therapy.
Following the relationship of this unlikely couple, the story touches upon the difficulties of marriage and partnerships. It explores the possibility that love is not enough to make a relationship work and becomes a philosophical display of emotion and comedy.
Trivia
The ages of the two characters are 23 and 37 which are both prime numbers.
