Yeah... I don't think so
The major problem with this movie is that it's largely forgettable. I watched it earlier in the afternoon and within a couple of hours (if that), I'd put it out of my mind. It's an interesting concept though. A woman who grows up, growing hair all over her body, goes into nature to discover her true self only to discover that she's grown intensely lonely.
So, in order to try and bond with another person and keeping in mind that most men would be deterred by a woman with excessive body hair, she curbs her individual thoughts in order to snag a man. That man happens to be Tim Robbins as a behavioral scientist who is teaching mice table manners. When he goes hiking with her one day and they stumble upon an uncivilized man who was raised in the forest by his deluded father who believed he was a chimp, the scientist figures that he's got a human to experiment on.
Some boring and banal sh*t goes on and eventually winds its way around to one question: is the human being truly trainable? Do we discard our instinctual feelings out of a sense of obligation (or spurred on by fear or pain) in order to obtain what we think we want? The movie argues that in the end, men are always going to be stupid creatures ruled by their dicks and that women are stupid creatures who are willing to sacrifice out of a nurturing drive.
I say... whatever.
