    It’s a bad sign that I remember seeing Boiler Room, but I don’t remember anything that happened in it except fratboy i-bankers sitting around an unfurnished living room playing video games. Or was that college?

    Prime makes you appreciate the flawed but sexy P.S.
    At least that movie had the balls to have a genuinely interesting sex scene, awkward, funny and sexy.

    Well said, HenryHill. I didn’t like PS, but it did seem to take more chances and I thought Laura Linney and Marcia Gay Harden (and Topher Grace) were better in that then this trio. I was embarassed for Meryl Streep after watching Prime.
    BTW, David, I’m not sure, but I think Ben Younger’s character was meant to be Bryan Greenberg’s friend with the pies. Wasn’t there a similar best friend in Boiler Room or am I misremembering?
    All I could think of while watching Prime is what a night out with Cameron and Justin must be like. That’s pretty sad, right?

    If you saw Unscripted then you would agree with DP. Greenberg is not a leading man.

    Prime just looks like a bad ABC movie. Just put in the older girl from the Gilmore Girls in the Uma role and some WB actor as the kid.

    I’ll see anything with Streep in it. She is one of the best out there.

    What is with these directors trying to do Woody Allen? Be yourselves.

    That’s especially interesting since even Woody Allen has gotten tired of doing Woody Allen, check out the trailer for Match Point to see what I mean.

    Woody Allen now or 1979?

    I think Meg Ryan misses those too.

    heheh, that’s true (she probably also misses her original lips, but that’s another story).
    Man, Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, When Harry Met Sarry… that’s how you make modern romantic comedies.

“The true punk film of the festival.”
~ Romain Blondeau On Claire Denis’ Les Saluds in Les Inrocks

“It’s also defined commercially by the difference between a colorful, Hawaii-set comedy starring George Clooney and a black-and-white, prairie-based old-age odyssey featuring a straggly and unkempt Bruce Dern. All the same, Paramount Vantage should be able to ride accolades for this very fine Cannes competition entry to respectable specialized returns in fall release.”
