Meryl Streep is always great but it doesn't save this movie

ger; [Couchgeflüster - Die erste therapeutische Liebeskomödie]; der sohn einer jüdischen psychotherapeutin verliebt sich zufällig in deren patientin, die 14 jahre älter als er ist.

Bar one section of the plot, the therapist triangle, this is a very realistic portrail of a relationship. They don't cheap out on it either. It's only really let down by a scene towards the end that seems to be rushed and outwith the tone.

comedy drama? sometimes

I only watched this movie because of Meryl Streep. I am very sorry, but this movie is just awful. The acting is bad, the writing is even worse and I would not have thought it possible to have such poor directing in a movie starring Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep. Having one good idea (a therapist whose patient is sleeping with her son) should not justify producing an entire film! The 10 I give are only fore Meryl Streep.

I like this movie. It has a realistic ending unlike most romantic comedies. I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Who wouldn't fall in love with Uma Thurman?

This is tedious and most certainly not worth your time... My recommendation is to spend the 2 hours of not-watching-this-film trying to create the most banal relationship you can and then just sort of drift away from each other once you hit your 2 hour time limit. Or do some knitting. Either way you'll feel better, and you may have a hand-knitted penis-hat by the end of it (shameless reference to the only line in the film).

For a romantic comedy it's not romantic or funny. It's actually very banal and tedious.

Bleh.
