3.0 out of 5 stars minor but enjoyable comedy, February 16, 2009

This review is from: Raising Flagg (DVD)

"Raising Flagg" is a laid back, innocuous indie comedy about a cantankerous, attention-seeking old codger (delightfully played by Alan Arkin) and his run-ins with various members of his family and community.

Preferring the appreciative chuckle to the full-throated guffaw, writer/director Neil Miller gently ribs his small town folk without once resorting to condescension or caricature to get the laugh. Arkin is nicely complemented by a cast of familiar and not-so-familiar faces (Austen Pendleton and Richard Kine being probably the most recognizable of the lot), while the Pacific Northwest setting provides a scenic backdrop for all the shenanigans.

A wonderfully understated gem.I've been waiting a long time for this to be released for far to long.This Film I believe was actually made in 2003 and could not be released generally.Unfortunately by today's standards I'm not surprised.This is not for 2 minute attention spans & the shallow.It may be a bit slow moving but this is necessary to tell a genuine story with equal character development.Alan Arkin has always been one of my favorite actors as is Glenne Headly and others assembled here-far too many to list.Neal Miller has done a fine job.It appears to be shot & edited on video & it gives a very clean & uncluttered appearance .Neal & Nancy Miller's writing is right on the mark.Too often in Hollywood films these un-city like people are portrayed quite patronizing & insulting-not here.It shows their genuine wry outlook,humor & dignity.If you want to feel you've spent a little time with some good down-to-earth folk then this is for you-otherwise stay clear for you'd only get lost.
