Overrated

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

A wonderful movie about the importance of family! A must see for everyone! This needs to be released nationally.The characters are so realistic that you'll see yourself, your friends, family and neighbors in many of them.YOu may even relate on the relationships with the parents and children, with your own childhood. Parents just don't seem to understand and Uncle Nino offers an opportunity for this family to repair itself.My husband & I saw this movie through an Italian-American organization in CT but feel it would be enjoyed by many people of varying backgrounds through out the country.Urge your local theaters to bring this movie to you! You will love it!

I went to see "Uncle Neno" this morning with my 17 year old daughter and we both were very impressed with the movie. "Uncle Neno" is a "little Film" as opposed to some big budget blockbuster. "Uncle Neno", I believe, will be a successful niche movie. The film is suitable for any audience, no sex, violence, or bad language. If your trying to find a film to take the family to, one they will enjoy and come out with a serious message, "Uncle Neno" is the one. It tells it's story in a straight forward entertaining fashion. "Uncle Neno" is a warm, charming and thought provoking movie. The characters are well written, believable and well acted. It show us how we are in the U.S. and how we are often distracted from what is really important in our lives, our Family. I only wish that every family, including my own, could have an "Uncle Neno" to show us where we have gone astray. I compliment "Kick the Can" for this picture.

A distant, and slightly dysfunctional family is brought closer together when the father's long-estranged Uncle Nino comes from Italy to Chicago for a surprise visit. This sweet old man brings with him the untarnished values and sensitivity of Europe that we seem to forget so often in America. "Uncle Nino" pushes aside the preachy-teachy tendencies that come so common in films of this type. This story is not at all trite - but beautifully realized by a fantastic cast and a story that "breathes" for a change. Take the spirit of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, add the humor of The Odd Couple, and the family-oriented sensitivity of Ordinary People. This flick is 3 winners in one!

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.
