Featured reviews
I saw this film in Marco Island. Our group of four seniors loved it. We laughed, got a little teary eyed, and just felt good. This is not just kiddy fare, as a friend said when she saw it in Grand Rapids. Her family's ages are 6-52 and she was thrilled that each of them had enjoyed it thoroughly. Seems everyone we talk to feels there are not enough films the family can see and enjoy together, and that have something worthwhile to say.
This movie really moved me. It was the first time that I wanted to go home and write the production company and thank everyone involved. It was also the first time I recommended a movie to everyone I could. It is a movie about focusing on what's really important in life, like family for instance.
This movie is well done, with characters that I felt I could relate to and that really spoke to me. I was sure it had been released nationally, but was surprised to find out it was only released in our medium-sized town, and only in two theatres! Everyone in America should see this movie! It is family friendly and has a real message, while still being very entertaining. If our country is serious about having quality entertainment, then it is time it gets behind this movie.
Go see this movie. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

My wife and I, both early 40's, and all four of our teenage kids (13-19) LOVED this film. So did the rest of the audience...they all laughed...and some cried...in all the "right" places. This one needs to be re-launched so I can tell my friends and family around America to run to the theater and see it, too!

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.
This film is great!!! If you are in the Grand Rapids area you should definitely go and check it out. I am really looking forward to having this film appear Nationwide. It is a great family film so go and take your family you won't regret it.
