Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
shominy-491-652355 "My Uncle Rafael" is a perfect example of the amazing talents involved in independent movies! We rent a lot of independent movies and are rarely disappointed in them, and "My Uncle Rafael" is one of our very top favorites. We thoroughly enjoyed every second of this movie - from beginning to end. All the actors are great! (Another hilarious role for John Michael Higgins!) We loved every actor/character in this film! The storyline is great - very creative! The editing is great - not a dull moment! We truly loved this movie from beginning to end! "My Uncle Rafael" is better than any mainstream movie we rented this year! Great family film! Very highly recommended!
curlz4 I really loved this movie.I had never heard of this movie, but I went with some friends tonight.As soon as the movie started i couldn't stop laughing. Its been a while since there has been a movie that has made me laugh like that.I really enjoyed it, and appreciated the humour. The movie is really funny and actually has an important underlying message - the importance of family. Bonus was coming out of the theatre and the main actor; Vahik was there greeting everyone who saw the film.I definitely recommend this movie
Bajan Valarian This film shot around my home town of Glendale earlier this year. I was invited to a screening and I was really impressed. It was very endearing and funny. Lots of good casting and comedic acting. I have been a big fan of Vahik for years and he was very funny. The rest of the American cast was really funny too. The Hollywood film community and the local Armenian community came together to make this film and its the first time Armenian cast and characters is featured in a Hollywood film. My wife and I really enjoyed it we hope to see it in the theater again. Great family movie for both Armenian and American families. Hoping the soundtrack comes out soon. Armenchik is great! Will see it again in theaters I hope.
Omar Michael El-Hage I was lucky enough to attend a screening of My Uncle Raphael and could not stop laughing! The film contains a glimpse of the Armenian culture and how it can impact and shape the dynamic of a typical, and troubled, American family. Amazing production value and the acting was spot on. Comedic pros John Michael Higgins, Missi Pyle, and Anthony Clark were the perfect compliment to the very funny Vahik Pirhamzei, who does double duty, playing both the wise and charming Uncle Raphael as well as his hustler/entrepreneur son Hamo. All in all a very heart warming and funny story. I definitely recommend seeing this film if you are in the mood to laugh!
