Available on DVD and VHS March 7, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment

Universal City, California, December 22, 2005 – Oscar® 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 March 7, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Also starring two-time Academy Award® 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 31, 2006.

Fall in Love With Laugh-Out-Loud Extras

The Prime DVD ratchets up the romance quotient with delightfully witty bonus features including:

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® 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).
