So, without anything to do or say, the filmmakers ask your indulgence
as they cram the lacunae with dog reaction shots, cat reaction shots, baby reaction shots, dogs
humping legs and other things shots, cat flushing the toilet and having toilet paper stuck to its paw shots, and, of course, Barbra Streisand on
speed riding De Niro like the world's biggest (and loudest) jockey on the world's craziest steed, massaging Blythe Danner, and never, ever, not even for a second, finding it prudent to shut her kvetch hole.
The eight -
speed automatic shifted just
as quickly
as we asked it to, either by blipping the shift lever on the transmission
hump or by pulling back on the steering wheel - mounted paddles.
