Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

A solid family film that strikes a shrewd balance between tough-mindedness and sentimentality and boasts a fine cast. Read full review

Wesley Morris

An effortless heartwarmer that manages to be utterly corny but quite likable. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Heartwarming is not always a bad thing. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Modest comedy-drama. Read full review

Connie Ogle

Unlike Uncle Nino's garden, the film never blooms into anything special. Read full review

Roger Ebert

A family movie that some will find wholesome and heartwarming and others will find cornball and tiresome. You know who you are. I know who I am. This is not my kind of movie. Read full review

Akiva Gottlieb

The elderly, violin-toting hero's successful attempt to infiltrate his miscreant nephew's mall-punk garage band is too creepy to fulfill the hipness quotient. Read full review

Uncle Nino is a fun movie to see! The characters were familiar to real life for me--midwestern middle class suburbia. A man who works long hours to provide for his family has forgotten what is truly important in life. Enjoy this movie!
