Uncle Nino was such a cute storyline and just a warm, fun, family movie.When they played their first premiere, in Grand Rapids, MI, I went to the movie and the dinner/meet the cast afterwords, and they were all so nice! It was so much fun to sit down and talk to the actors. Oh, and Trevor Morgan is absolutely beautiful as well..The storyline is so easy to relate to. You are drawn in by the characters and feel their emotions. The casting is great as well. I went and saw in while in was in Grand Rapids over 10 times, and almost cried every time. I HIGHLY recommend it to anybody who wants a warm, happy, meaningful movie.

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!

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!

This movie portrays upscale mid American life. It shows a family in real trouble and they do not even know it. It takes Uncle Nino's visit to show them how sad and empty their life is. This family bought into the "corporate America Dream" but did not know they sold their inner feelings and communications. They forgot how to laugh,enjoy each other and LIVE. They were too busy to see how miserable their lives had become. What a great movie. It shows compassion and real insight. This movie should be seen by grade school children, teenagers, lonely wives and especially corporate "too busy" dads. It is definitely a wake up call and a how to change your life and change the lives of those you love.
