This movie definitely had potential. How can you go wrong with Alan Arkin? Unfortunately it did. Possibly a casting problem. Arkin as with most of his films is by far the most interesting thing about this movie. Always like to see him act.
Plot summary
A comedy centered on a handyman (Arkin) and his lifelong competition with his neighbor (Pendleton.)

Disappointed
minor but enjoyable indie comedy
"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.
Really slowed down
When Flagg become sick and the family trickled in to pay their respects.
A real shame.
