I would have loved Grandpa to have been there for the dance routine. Oh why did he have to die?

pryor, I thought the best moment in the film was when the little girl tears up and tells grandpa she doesn't want to be a loser because "Daddy hates losers." I thought the acting in that scene by both Breslin and Arkin was just amazing. What did you think?

I agree, great scene....Drew, can you change your avatar? it freaks me out.

I too loved this film, the fact that we all missed Grandpa terribly when he unexpectedly passed is a tribute to the writing and Arkin's performance. I was a little disapointed by the ending, but I thought everyone did a fantastic job overall.

Arkin also pulls off two fantastic performances in two of my other favorite movies, The In-Laws (the original) and Glengary Glenross. If you haven't seen either of these, I highly recommend them.

if i remember correctly, this was in the hotel, right? if so, i concur. that was a wonderfully acted scene and probably the thing that got Arkin his Oscar

The In-Laws is right up there as one of the funniest comedies ever. Indeed a great performance from Arkin, as well as from Peter Falk. Not to mention a world-class one from Richard Libertini.

I also agree that Arkin was great in Glengary Glen Ross. What a cast: Arkin, Lemmon, Pacino, Spacey, Harris, Baldwin, Pryce.

I first saw Arkin on Broadway in a Carl Reiner play called "Enter Laughing." He was hilarious.

Glengarry Glen Ross is what turned me on to Arkin as well. That was an amazing movie, great acting, and I expect the best from Arkin whenever I see his name. He is the only reason I was interested in this movie, and I'm glad I checked it out. Good movie, and another great performance by Alan Arkin.
