Rafi, 37, sieht blendend aus, hat einen gutbezahlten Job und bewohnt ein schickes Apartment in New York. Man möchte neidisch werden. Wäre da nicht das unüberhörbare Ticken der biologischen Uhr und ihr unerfüllter Kinderwunsch. Um einer drohenden Depression vorzubeugen, sucht Rafi regelmäßig ihre Therapeutin Dr. Lisa Metzger auf. Eine gestandene Frau mütterlichen Typs, die stets weise Ratschläge auf Lager hat: Geh aus und triff dich mit Männern! Rafi – ganz gefolgsame Patientin – zieht los. Und verliebt sich prompt: in David, einen Traumtyp der Kategorie supersüß und supersexy. Die Sache hat nur einen Haken: Ihr Romeo ist erst 23 und wohnt noch bei seinen Großeltern. Macht nichts, meint Dr. Metzger, genieße Dein Leben! Doch diesen Tipp soll die fürsorgliche Therapeutin schon bald bereuen, handelt es sich doch bei Rafis Objekt der Begierde um keinen geringeren als Lisas eigenen Sohn. Frau Doktor ist einer ausgewachsenen Panikattacke nahe: Ihr Baby in den Fängen einer 37-jährigen Psychopathin! Jetzt erst mal schön tief durchatmen und bloß nicht die Nerven verlieren. (TV24)

The fox Younger has probably experienced beautiful things in his life when he can show the desire of two people in such a nice way, precisely express the feelings that belong to those periods (the sudden feeling of falling in love, the pain of breakup when remembering a seemingly trivial thing) and, in addition, create a beautiful, realistic and emotionally stirring ending that makes me know that Prime won't easily disappear from my mind. Until then, he had worked with an above-average script that elevated the slightly predictable pattern of a potential mother-in-law and potential daughter-in-law relationship to a different level, where a series of obligatory clichés (a walk in a closed park, a dinner at a place that impresses the partner) don't bother at all, but in this case, they are very pleasant. Thanks to the divine Meryl, I often laughed, supported the sympathetic Greenberg, and longed for the beautiful Art. It's a shame that the movie couldn't go beyond the obligatory boundaries of frequent "I'm sorry" and "I'm not sure", otherwise it could have been worth five. The final scene is one of the most expressive and impressive romantic finishes thanks to the actors.

What I liked about this movie was that it wasn't just about a relationship between a 23-year-old guy and a 37-year-old woman. It also shows the relationship between a mother and her son and a psychologist and her patient. No hysterical scenes, no hair pulling... and as such I found the film reasonable and enjoyable. Plus, the only film where I like Uma Thurman. 4 stars.

Ben Younger is evidently a very mature guy and a skillful director who can captivate the viewer with even the smallest detail. There is no unnecessary sentimentality, very few clichés, plenty of creativity, freshness, and directorial ingenuity, with non-forced humor and, above all, wonderfully played characters. Many scenes touch will touch your heart and many will pleasantly amuse you. Intelligent humor is present throughout the film and never descends into awkwardness. In these days of American Pie and similar crap, this is more than a pleasant relief.
