I just went to see Uncle Nino, hearing that the star, who lives in Illinois, was a neighbor of a friend. The feature is set in Glenview, IL, where it is sunny every day and never rains(!). Anyone who lives in Illinois knows what I am talking about. The film is so flat and trite that I was predicting the lines before they came out of the actors mouths'. Why do American films have to hit you over the head with their message? I suppose if you had elementary school kids, you could take them. Just don't expect to be entertained. Also, the number of positive ratings shown here are all written by people coming from one town in Michigan. My theater certainly wasn't packed. A handful of old people went along with me and my girlfriend. Maybe some others should post their true thoughts about the caliber of this movie.
