DMB25415 This is one of the better films I have seen in recent years and the message that is brought out from watching it is much different than most movies. You feel great walking out of this one and it grabs you with its rare story seen in movies today. What is that story you may ask? Family is the answer. There are not a lot of films that come along and truthfully depict family life like this one did. It involves a family that is struggling to stay together when there uncle shows up almost out of nowhere. He teaches the family to interact and brings them together to become a unit once again. I enjoyed every minute of this fantastic movie and think that everyone should get a chance to see it. It is very truthful in its story and the family life that is simulated is very realistic to a modern family today. This is a movie for the whole family and can engage an audience of any age. There is one last thing that was rare about this movie no profane language is used, no sex, drugs, alcohol or anything of that matter. The film got a standing ovation when it finished by everyone in the audience and deserved even more. Everyone should see Uncle Nino.
llcaruso2002 I just went to see Uncle Nino, hearing that the star, who lives in Illinois, was a neighbor of a friend. The feature is set in Glenview, IL, where it is sunny every day and never rains(!). Anyone who lives in Illinois knows what I am talking about. The film is so flat and trite that I was predicting the lines before they came out of the actors mouths'. Why do American films have to hit you over the head with their message? I suppose if you had elementary school kids, you could take them. Just don't expect to be entertained. Also, the number of positive ratings shown here are all written by people coming from one town in Michigan. My theater certainly wasn't packed. A handful of old people went along with me and my girlfriend. Maybe some others should post their true thoughts about the caliber of this movie.
sportact2 i really enjoyed this movie. it is pleasant and heart-warming. you go out of the movie with a feeling of hope that everything will be okay. i was an extra in the battle of the bands scene, which was awesome. finally seeing it after about two years was such a reward for me. i think that it is a great movie. everyone in your family can see it. it's one of those movies that the whole family will truly enjoy--I guarantee it. GO SEE IT!!!!!! There may not be a lot of big shot celebrities in it, but all of the actors are very talented. the story take you through the life of the Miceli family, who just like the modern day family never really has time to sit down, talk, or even get together. Then Uncle Nino comes to America for the first time from Italy, and teaches his family how to live again. This is a truly good hearted story that everyone will enjoy and like.
skebon Millions of Americans have been saying we need a film like this. You've all heard them: your neighbors, fellow workers, relatives..... and here it is. What a refreshing, wonderful film for all to see. A movie that doesn't have to resort to foul language, inappropriate scenes, baseless scripting and all the other unwelcome intrusions into our lives. And the message it gives is timeless, but especially pertinent in these times. Family values, love, caring, acceptance, what's REALLY important in life. I've heard comments from people that have seen it and they all said it was good. From children to adults, everyone wanted to meet "Uncle Nino" after the performance and take a little part of him home with them. People left the movie with a warm, cozy feeling and a smile on their face. I'll see this movie again and I hope to see more movies like it. Thanks, Uncle Nino ! !
