UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Oscar(R) nominee Uma Thurman ("Kill Bill: Vols. I" and "II") and Bryan Greenberg (television's "One Tree Hill") star as perfectly mismatched lovers in the irresistibly charming romantic comedy "Prime," coming to DVD and VHS February 28, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Also starring two-time Academy Award(R) winner Meryl Streep ("The Hours," "Adaptation"), "Prime" is a love story that takes a hilariously off-kilter look at an affair between a sophisticated 37-year-old woman and a much younger man -- who turns out to be the son of the woman's therapist. Written and directed by Ben Younger ("The Boiler Room"), and produced by Team Todd, headed by sisters Jennifer Todd and Suzanne Todd, "Prime" is a witty romantic comedy that humorously explores what happens when love at first sight meets the day-to-day realities of an adult relationship. The "Prime" DVD and VHS are priced at $29.98 SRP. Preorder close is January 24, 2006.

SYNOPSIS

When Rafi (Uma Thurman), a 37-year-old divorcee, meets David (Bryan Greenberg), a 23-year-old painter, it's love at first sight. But that love gets complicated -- fast -- when Rafi discovers that David is also the son of her therapist (Academy Award(R) winner Meryl Streep)! Rafi's about to discover that professional help is going to get very personal. Join the delightful, entertaining comic hit that critics are calling "a funny and very sexy comedy" (Jess Cagle, WCBS/People Magazine).
