This one requires an effort to willingly suspend disbelief, but once that is accomplished, it's a fun flick that is well acted.

Very slow and not the best movie that De Niro ever made.

I enjoyed this fun movie about the gift of a woman to a man who at first doesn't want the gift, but soon the genes kick in and you can guess the rest.
