Nevertheless, movie geography is often very very retarded.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-04-2008 08:49 AM                     Finally caught this on DVD last night. A fine film with a winning performance by Alan Arkin (Serpentine, Frank!) Many times Suzi and I laughed out loud. It just tickled our fancy. Was told today it did very well when it played at the Ritz in Sydney where I'm working. No wonder... 4 out of 5  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-04-2008 03:56 PM                        The only thing I remember about this movie was being nauseated during the beauty pageant with all of those little girls. Who dresses their young children up like that? Phuggin' sickos.  |  IP: Logged Carol May Film Handler Posts: 48 From: los angeles, ca, usa Registered: Nov 2006 posted 01-12-2008 05:55 PM                     "The only thing I remember about this movie was being nauseated during the beauty pageant with all of those little girls.

Greg Kinnear and family were supposed to be the abnormal outcasts, but it was really the serious pageant contenders and their families who needed to rethink their lives.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 01-12-2008 06:07 PM                     The worst thing was that all the other pageant girls were actual "child beauty queens" or whatever they are called. It wasn't exaggerated for humor, people really trot their kids out like that.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 03-23-2014 05:59 PM                 It has been 2261 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Terry Lynn-Stevens Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1081 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Dec 2012 posted 03-23-2014 05:59 PM                     Finally got around to seeing this movie, in 35mm no less. The 8 year old print was in pretty good condition. It even had the DTS discs. What an fantastic movie! What I don't understand is how Alan Arkin won an Academy Award for this movie? It was just as bad a Jack Palance winning for City Slickers.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-23-2014 09:38 PM                        Jack Palance's was considered sort of a recognition of a long career at the time. Besides, he was excellent in City Slickers.  |  IP: Logged
