Who does Meryl Streep play in Prime (2005)?
Streep plays Lisa Metzger, a therapist who doesn't realize her patient Rafi — played by Uma Thurman — is dating her 23-year-old son David (Bryan Greenberg). The comedy builds on that secret as Lisa counsels Rafi through the very relationship she'd object to.
What is the age gap between the couple in Prime?
Rafi is 37 and David is 23, a 14-year difference that the film treats as its central comic and romantic tension. The age gap, plus the religious and family differences, is what drives Lisa's dilemma.
Is Prime based on a true story?
Writer-director Ben Younger has said the story draws on his own real-life dating experience. It's not a documented biography, but the specificity of the therapist setup reportedly came from personal history.
