I remember my mother took us to see this one when it came out. I LOVED IT! It made me a fan of Alan Arkin's for life.

Now, I'm not one for when Puerto Rican characters are played by non-Puerto Rican actors, but Alan Arkin KILLED IT in "Papi"!

He did an excellent job of portraying a Puerto Rican father and it just didn't look like he was acting. Alan, if you ever read this, I'm sure you've heard this a gazillion times...job well done. You are an honorary Puerto Rican!

Whats up with the backwards "P" ?? And in spanish its "Papi"... just sayin...

Alan Arkin is great, but it's an odd film!
