Uncle NinoWe have seen this movie in the try outs and we fell in love with the main character.It was a long journey before the movie came on DVD and when we discovered this, we had to buy it.
Since we have a European background, we often forget to live.
Uncle Nino reminds us on this and it looks Americans miss this connection too.
It is a funny and realistic movie anybody will enjoy.
And critics, if you do not like this movie, you do not know how to live.

A Wholesome Family Movie
A charming family film -- better suited for teens than younger children. It seems more like a TV-movie to me, although it's not. While I enjoyed its wholesome family emphasis, the script seemed a bit too contrived for me. I think, though, that most family film fans will enjoy this one.
Mascarino was endearing as Uncle Nino Micelli who travels from Italy to visit his nephew Robert (Joe Mantegna), a workaholic executive who lives in suburban Chicago. The purpose of Uncle Nino's visit is revealed late in the story and prompts Robert to re-evaluate his priorities. Young Gina Mantegna (Joe Mantegna's real-life daughter) makes her film debut here and shows promise as an upcoming young talent in her role as the young daughter of the Micelli family.
While much of the story is predictable, the acting by the main characters compensates for this shortcoming. My favorite scene is the Carps' debut in the high school "battle" -- the group's performance seemed convincing & very upbeat.
The film has its happy and sad moments, but, as is typical of movies of this genre, the wholesome nature of the film is the main reason to see it.
