drscompanion1108 Well I just saw this movie on Sundance Channel and I am pondering to myself as to why I just wasted 72 minutes of my life on this. It had a very poor story line, almost like a poor knock off of The 40 Year Old Virgin except the fact the main character wasn't a virgin, obviously and was just pitifully pathetic (if that makes any sense). If this movie had to be done for reasons unbeknownst to me, they could've cut a lot of unnecessary crap in the middle. It could've been and should have much shorter. I too must have missed whatever deep and profound meaning that was supposed to have been embedded in this, whatever it was because I didn't get it.

connorjessome I thought Uncle Kent was funny and well directed with some great ideas. The movie flips back and forth between using regular cameras and using the main character's Flipcam which gives it a really cool style that certainly suits the story and tone of the movie. Characters like Kent, Kate, and Kev were all fleshed out nicely. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. The acting was great as you grow to both love and hate certain characters. The only thing stopping this movie from being an 8 or 9 is a more resolute ending. Sometimes just giving us the tip of the iceberg works, sometimes it doesn't. Regardless, I would love to see more by the team behind this movie and I'm not surprised at all to see it made it to Sundance 2011.

gravenimageproductions Found the film interesting, and certainly was worth watching. I found the review previously posted to be way to harsh in that the film was obviously shot the way it was, (shots from flip cam, lighting choices in certain scenes etc.) to create voyeuristic feel to the story. I was left wanting more resolution at the end. That was one of the only things I saw in this film, in my opinion, that was a problem for me.I did however find the editing on this film to appear more as a rough cut the a fine cut and I believe the story could have would have advanced a lot smoother, with some of the seemingly long clips for no apparent reason to simply been shortened. As a filmmaker myself, I find it encouraging for all filmmakers, to see a film with this kind of a budget get the attention of Sundance.

ccorogenes This movie had a message but it could have been told in 20 minutes vs 72. Long inane clips that did not add to the story. Editing was disparately needed. A story of a sad newly 40 male with a pathetic, lonely, boring life. He falls into a male fantasy weekend which was a great story poorly told.Filmed apparently on a FlipCam the camera movement almost made me sick at times. I love that a film could be made on a FlipCam. Regrettably, the lighting was at times so poor you could not make out the actors faces. Also because of the low resolution the film was pixelated on the large screen. I have no idea why this film made the cut for Sundance. I watched it with my wife at 10pm during the Sundance Film Festival. We should have gone to bed and skipped the trek from Park City to the Red Stone Theater at that late hour. My wife is still angry at me for making her sit through it.Maybe I missed something artful or profound....if so it was well hidden. I hope so because someone put in a lot of effort and hope in making this film.
