Uncle Nino
Uncle Nino
Starring: Joe Mantegna, Anne Archer, Trevor Morgan, Gina Mantegna, Pierrino Mascarino
Overworked executive Robert Micelli (Goden Globe nominee Joe Mantegna, Searching for Bobby Fischer) has little time for his loving wife (Academy Award nominee Anne Archer, Patriot Games), rebellious 140year-old son, Bobby, (Trevor Morgan, Jurassic Park III) and 12-year-old daughter, Gina (Gina Mantegna, 13 Going on 30), who desperately wants a dog. This disconnected family is transformed by long-lost Uncle Nino (Pierrino Mascarino, Tears of the Sun), 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 embarrasment 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 humour can be enjoyed by all ages.
