Arkin: I think there's been a lot of wonderful movies in the last two or three years.
When the film I was making is over and someone then hands me a script, if it's a John Ford movie, it's fine.
That doesn't matter to me. All things being equal, I would like to work with a good script with a good director, and the part I play is of less important than those two factors.

This may be the richest deal in festival history; Miramax purchased “Happy, Texas” for $10 million in 1999.
But the film builds to a stunningly funny climax, one that is a moment of familial growth without an ounce of schmaltz.
The plot's about "a family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus," but I was among the Sundancers who really enjoyed this R-rated ensem-com, so believe me when I say the skimpy synopsis doesn't do the flick justice.
