Advantages: Great to see De Niro in a light hearted role. Amusing Disadvantages: Not as funny as it should have been
This film finally answers a question about Robert de Niro that's been niggling me a while.

I do not want to say that the screenplay isn't funny, it really is. But with a lesser cast, the film wouldn't work so well.
