I didn't find the film average or mediocre at all, I found it to be rather enjoyable with a decent plot. Such a film has a tendency to fall into cliches, but Prime rose above that. The love story was remarkably believable (most in thanks to the actors portraying them) and Streep was as hilarious as ever. Pretty sad ending, but that is where it had to go in order to keep its realism in tact. Lots of great jokes supplied, too. Especially David and his "Warsaw ghetto" joke to Streep. Thurman was as breathtaking as ever.
