J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 06/28/2022
Paige scores some solid rhetorical points, exposing the foolishness of those who equate homosexuality with pedophilia, yet the weirdly infantile hero and his shrewish nemesis are so broadly drawn that they reduce the complex situation to a sitcom.

0/4
Laughless, pointless and downright creepy. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 06/30/2006
1.5/4
Ask yourself: If you saw an unknown, single man repeatedly approach kids in the park, would you be concerned? If so, you may not find Paul, and his unbalanced Peter Pan complex, quite as charming as Paige does. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 03/01/2007
Ultimately, Paul's plight is just not that interesting, and when the neighborhood stridently turns against him, the film veers into absurdity. Go to Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com 09/28/2006
3/5
Frankly, I wouldn't want him touching my toddler. Go to Full Review Frank Ochieng Movie Eye 07/02/2006
1.5/4
Paige's radical approach to this unsettling material tip toes in the echoes of dark absurdity. Say Uncle comes off as an irresponsible, unthinkable and creepy concoction Go to Full Review Read all reviews

inta k @intuciic 04/24/2013 pretty cute and kinda touching movie! See more 08/29/2011 pretty cute and kinda touching movie! See more 09/07/2010 It reminds me a lot of Micheal Jackson's case See more 08/10/2010 Was a very funny movie with a good message See more 09/06/2009 Paul's obsession with children was a little TOO disturbing in this film. A lead character with no common sense is hardly appealing. BUT - this film is worth it just to see Anthony Clark kiss another man. See more 07/21/2009 I don't get this. It's supposed to be a comedy but the situation is actually pretty grim. Surprised Peter Paige wrote something so depressing and gave it the guise of a fun comedy. Horrible. See more Read all reviews
