I am just in complete awe of Mr. Arkins performance in this movie. I gave this a 10 mostly because of his character and his acting. you could actually edit out all of the story line besides his and make it a short about that character and how he evolves! It would be just as entertaining. I really enjoyed it!

alans performance in this movie is extraordinary, I love this film because of alan arkin! another film with stunning acting by alan arkin, one of my favourite actors, is the heart is a lonely hunter.
others such as catch-22, freebie & the bean and glengarry glen ross being a few of my favourite alan arkin movies! he is a heavily underrated actor and was oscar-nominated in '68 for his incredibly moving performance in the heart is a lonely hunter.
I know he did win a best supporting actor oscar for little miss sunshine in 2007, but he should have won the oscar for best actor in 1968, hands down.

I've got this film coming on Netflix. I will spread the word on how great this film is one I view it.
And yes, while all of the actors' in LMS were top knotch, Alan Arkin's performance was a riot. Most excellent performance.
he was BRILLIANT When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
+1
Mr. Arkin's role was my favorite in the film, his story & the overall musical score.
another alan arkin fan here...
my favorite arkin films:
1. "the in-laws" (with peter falk)
2. "catch-22"
3. "little murders"
4. "glengarry glen ross"
5. "the slums of beverly hills"
6. "simon"
7. "13 conversations about one thing"
8. "little miss sunshine"
9. "wait until dark"
10. "last of the red hot lovers"
he's one of the best actors of the last 50 years.

And just because people like you don't know how to grade something without giving it a 1 or a 10, imdb ratings don't mean a thing anymore.
If you like that one part and you could just get rid of everything else, it's probably not a 10. A 10 is a flawless movie where everything works.

well, alan's was the most developed character of the film that it left everybody's character severely underdeveloped. that's why the movie seemed unbalanced. however, it's a good film.
