Critic Reviews

A prime example of a solid romantic comedy.Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter

There are some one-liners that zing not only with humor but truth. On the whole I was satisfied.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Younger knows it's fun to watch Rafi and David cross lines of age, culture and religion. He also knows it's painful. That's what makes his movie hilarious and heartfelt.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Yes, Younger has made an update of the ''shiksa who changed my life" story in ''Annie Hall." But Prime is missing the psychological acuity and scabrous cultural wit of Woody Allen at his best. These lovers meet standing in line to see Antonioni's ''Blow-Up" and never mention the movie.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

This may sound like Woody Allen - in fact, it often feels like Woody Allen (minus the expected helpings of angst) - but it's not. Prime is from writer/director Ben Younger and, while it's not up to the level of Allen's great romantic comedies ("Annie Hall," "Manhattan"), it's better than anything the acclaimed New York auteur has brought to the screen in recent years.Full Review
