Raising Flagg Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Too bad the offscreen intrigue doesn't make up for what flags in Flagg.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Miller's affection for the Purdys... and their rustic way of life can't compensate for the script's clunky pacing and occasional moralizing.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Meg Jones
Crusty characters, a bluegrass soundtrack and a dysfunctional family that could exist only in the minds of Hollywood screenwriters make this film more precious than real -- or funny.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
Alan Arkin has the enviable ability of making nearly everything he's in watchable. Sadly, Raising Flagg sorely tests that ability.
Reel.com
Jim Hemphill
Some of the characters' problems are wrapped up a bit too neatly, but the mild contrivances work because the principles are so endearing -- we want them to be happy, so when they are, it's satisfying, even if the happy moments aren't so honestly achieved.
Oregonian
M.E. Russell
It's slight stuff, with several conflicts settled off-screen, but it's not without its low-key charms.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Alan Arkin tries, but fails, as the gold standard curmudgeon who never had it so good.
Murphy's Movie Reviews
Ted Murphy
The story is fairly slight and some of the characters are broadly drawn or not sketched at all.
Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
Given the inherent limitations of the material, all of the actors work diligently and quite effectively.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
Dana is really the heart of the movie, giving a subtle, low-key performance.
Los Angeles Daily News
Evan Henerson
Feels like a TV movie.
L.A. Weekly
James C. Taylor
Erich Roland's HD cinematography is the only element of the film one can honestly enjoy.
Film Journal International
Frank Lovece
Has some fine moments for Alan Arkin and his ex-wife Barbara Dana, but its bloated inconsequentiality is simply head-shaking.
