Prime is a heart-warming romance, a fun mentoring relationship between therapist and patient, and a quirky mother-and-son story.

Set firmly in New York, Prime enjoys the city and the kinds of places where people live and work. It has the advantage of having a writer-director, Ben Younger. A single person in the two roles, if both are done well, gives a film a unity that if difficult to attain when the vision of the screenwriter is brought to the screen through the eyes and mind of a separate director. This is not to say that the director butting into the writing process is necessarily a good thing -- that can confuse the message. However in cases such as this where the writer is the director, the message and direction of the film is clear and the audience can relax and enjoy the tale.

Fun.
