Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

davideml-754-425159 Ok for family viewing together with.children period but bored parents will probably doze off. Unbearable clichés.

voyageur0713 We have all seen this movie many times before: The quirky stranger comes into the life of a harried person or dysfunctional family and causes havoc and in the process helps them learn the true value of what is right in front of them if they'd only stop to notice.Hollywood has made this same story probably hundreds of times and we've all seen it in one incarnation or another more often than we can count. Sometimes the predictably of this age old story is just so much like ticking items off a checklist that you can't turn it off fast enough.And sometimes the predictable, feel-good story is, instead, done well and with just enough original bits that it feels like that old, stretched out, faded, fuzzy sweater you just can't part with because it is just so darned comfortable and comforting.We all know the formula of these films. We all know how it will end. But because Uncle Nino does it with such easy charm and gentle humor and none of the cheap, emotional manipulativeness most employ -- we just don't care! It is nice to see Joe Mantegna do something other than the typical macho roles we are so familiar with and Gina Mantegna is so natural she inadvertently puts a spotlight on how most child actors have more 'the right look' than any real acting chops.

rgreen7507 This is a great movie about family values and provides all the elements that will please any movie goer. From humor and laughter, to heartfelt sadness and tears, this movie can make you really think about your own priorities in life. I don't think they could have cast this movie any better. Mascarino plays the perfect Italian uncle that provides subtle and very humorous moments while learning the culture of America. Joe Mantegna and Ann Archer really bring out the parts that make you think about your own life and the importance of family ties. Gina Mantegna puts on a great performance as the youngest of the Michelli family and perfectly displays the emotion of an adolescent that needs her family to "be a family". Finally, the misunderstood teenager Bobby (Trevor Morgan) plays his role excellently in showing that the teenage years are difficult and unique, but with some understanding and slight bending of the house rules, the family members can be great friends that rally around one another instead of being strangers in a house where the last name is the only thing they have in common.

kiirk79 I had the great opportunity to see this film with the friends and family of Duke Doyle last night. I really enjoyed viewing this film. It was so refreshing to see a film address the values of forgiveness and compromise in the modern American family. The film uses the universal language of music in brilliant fashion to bridge the gap between both culture and different generations. Joe Mantegna and Anne Archer are wonderful together as the heads of the Micelli family and Pierrino Mascarino will make you wish you had an "Uncle Nino".It was great seeing both Trevor and Daniel in person at our showing. Continued success to this group of talented young actors! Let's hope more of America gets to see "Uncle Nino"! BRAVO!
