How do I open or Import a OVF?

I can't believe this is so difficult. A partner sent me a virtual machine that he converted to ovf. I have three files. A .OVF, .MF and .VMDK file. I've tried several methods to no avail. What are the options to get this running again as a VM on my ESXi 4.1 Server?

Thanks!

EDIT:

So I found the OVF Tool and am trying to convert from ovf to vmx now, but this is a painfully slow process and I imagine I'll run out of disk space before it completes. Is this the only option?
