"My Uncle Rafael" elicits plenty of goofy chuckles even as it regularly threatens to fly off the rails.

It's all too simplistic, but there's something about watching this inept, callow, bourgeois family getting slapped, scolded, and generally schooled by their new, platitude-spewing Armenian "uncle" that's perversely entertaining.

A hokey story with a needless reality-show overlay.

For anyone who has the bad luck to see this vanity production, it will be remembered as one of the worst films of the year--if not the decade.

Amazing film, I loved every part of it. I already knew it would be great bc it was sold out you literally had to buy tickets in advance. The theater was filled with laughter I love "Uncle Rafael"
