"Uncle
Nino, a movie about moral values, is finally getting its due." - USAToday
"A
family film made with the kind of caring and commitment that will
connect with viewers." - The Los Angeles Times
"A
breath of fresh air." - The Chicago Reader
Overworked
executive Robert Micelli (Joe Mantegna) has little time for his loving
wife (Anne Archer), rebellious 14-year-old son, Bobby (Trevor Morgan)
and 12-year-old daughter, Gina (Gina Mantegna), who desperately wants a
dog. This
disconnected family is transformed by long-lost Uncle Nino (Pierrino
Mascarino), an old world Italian who unexpectedly arrives on their
doorstep for a visit. Nino's
simple, old-fashioned ways make him a curiosity to the neighborhood,
and an embarrassment to Robert. But Nino is slowly
able to connect with each member of the family, and teach Robert how to
enjoy life's simple pleasures: good food, good
music, and most important, La Famiglia! Uncle Nino is that rare family film
whose simple story and gentle humor can be enjoyed by all ages.
Bonus Feature
- Interview with Joe Mantegna and his
daughter Gina Mantegna. Joe
