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

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I believe that this movie will help revamp the film industry into a more positive world. I absolutely loved this movie! It is definitely for the whole family. I encourage all to see this movie if it is playing anywhere. It is definitely worth your while and will be enjoyed thoroughly by all. What is special about this movie is that there is no foul language, no violence, no inappropriate scenes, yet the entire family loves it. From the newborn to the teenager, your kids will most certainly enjoy seeing this film. It is very funny and entertaining! If you are an Italian, you will cherish this film even more! Although the majority of the film is in English, there are a few Italian lines here and there! So if you have the chance to see this movie, please, please, please do! Also, this is to the owner of this film or anyone associated with this film: if you could please please get this movie into theaters or at least on DVD many of us would love it! It received rave reviews from all whom saw it!There was a big ovation at the end from all who attended! No doubt there will be many people buying this if it does come out!

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.

We intended to go see another film, but hey: They were screening Uncle Nino for free, and Pierrino Mascarino (who plays the title character) was going to be there so why not go see it?Man, was I ripped off. The makers of this film owe me two hours.This movie was unholy bad. The scenes ran long. The dialog was ALL exposition. The character had half the depth of an inflatable kiddie pool.And the screening, Pierrino Mascarino begged the slight audience to enlist their friends to fight the good fight for this kind of movie. If nobody come to see it, they won't make more movie like this. I sure hope Mr. Mascarino has a job lined up at a theme park somewhere, because this stinker is definitely not going to connect with any sort of audience. Not, I suspect, even people desperate for a feel good movie.Yeck!

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.
