70A solid family film that strikes a shrewd balance between tough-mindedness and sentimentality and boasts a fine cast.
-
63An effortless heartwarmer that manages to be utterly corny but quite likable.
-
60Heartwarming is not always a bad thing.
-
50Modest comedy-drama.
-
50A 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.
-
50The acting is endearing and the story has great charm before predictability and sentimentality eventually take over.
-
50Unlike Uncle Nino's garden, the film never blooms into anything special.
-
50A creaky, cliched, feel-good family drama about learning to stop and smell the roses - and planting a vegetable garden while you're at it - Uncle Nino is shameless, sappy fare.
-
50There's not a single surprise or moment of dramatic tension in Uncle Nino, which has already proved itself a hit as a self-distributed film in the Midwest.
-
50Writer-director Robert Shallcross believes in it so passionately that he came close to convincing me too.
-
40Written and directed by Robert Shallcross, and seemingly misdirected into theaters from its natural home on the ABC Family Channel, Uncle Nino is a sweet but not particularly distinguished effort.
-
Aggressive heartwarmer, which turns out to be much more of a heartburner.
-
38It's all neat and sweet and one-dimensional, more the moral to a story than a story.
-
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.
