Uncle Charles Audience Reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
leplatypus It's a comedy in which french hicks friends trick a rich old man migrated to New Zealand into believing they are his family. It could have been really funny but one of them thinks it's too much, not very honest, drags her feet and acts like a prisoner waiting the death row.. The problem is that this family member is Alexandra Lamy… For me, Chouchou is an happy woman, full of wit and smiles so every time she tries to be serious and dramatic, I don't get it: maybe I'm dumb but that's me. So Alex is not very good here unlike her partner Bonneton who is really into the scheme and thus perfect to carry the comedy!
adventurer_ci I love french movies especially comedies. But this one I did not like. I am not sure why I actually finished watching it. Sucked from the finger story failed to deliver anything other but nonsense. Nothing in this movie is believable including characters. It is hard to believe that a wealthy uncle can possibly be that dumb. The "family" is shown as a bunch of real idiots. I never figured out the "childhood accident" story. Nothing is funny either. The acting is not bad, but nothing special. The only scenes in this movie I enjoyed was the view from the uncle's house. I think IMDb should cut a slack for a first reviewer who can't come up with 10 lines.
