Uncle Nino (2003)

.
"I'm awesome!

Robert Micelli (Joe Mantegna) is intense in his job working hard and long hours to earn a significant promotion. His wife Marie (Anne Archer) longs for her husband to be home more and be more involved in family life. Teenage son Bobby (Trevor Morgan) is wracked with angst and just wants to be accepted at his new high school in an uppity Chicago suburb. Pre-teen daughter Gina (Gina Mantegna) loves animals and longs for a dog of her own but her father says no.

When Robert's elderly Uncle Nino (Pierrino Mascarino) arrives without the Micellis even know he's come from his home in a small Italian town, the Micellis lives are to be forever changed.

Duke Doyle and Daniel Adebayo play Bobby's hoodlum friends who are in a garage band with Bobby.

Written and directed by Robert Shallcross.

Run time: 1 hour, 50 minutes

Rated PG for language and some teen smoking.

My personal rating: B
