Summary: A very funny movie, if by "funny" you mean "boring".
Review: This is not a bad movie, but it is a painfully boring one. I read nothing but good reviews for Mon Oncle, expecting a good, fun movie. But it was just really long and boring. If you've never seen it, and are interested in seeing it, rent it first. You're not missing anything if you skip it.

Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun, Funny
Review: This movie was just broadcast on the Turner Classic Movie(TCM) channel last night. I loved it! I enjoyed the music and the fact that it was a movie about, well... basically nothing! How can a movie be about nothing and yet be enjoyable? No drug plots, no sex, no bad language, just comedy. I love to laugh and that is what this movie makes you do... laugh. Had I known that I would have enjoyed it that much, I would have set my VCR to record it. This movie is definitely a keeper. Now, I'll have to buy the video. A simple and wonderful movie.

Summary: a nice sequel to M. Hulot's Holiday
Review: This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.Mon Oncle or "My Uncle" again follows Msr. Hulot when he visits the then-modern home of his brother-in-law. There he gets into mischief with his nephew. He later inadvertently creates havoc at a rubber hose factory also. The film is second in a series of four movies three of which have been released by the Criterion Collection. The film has many items featured that I was not aware existed at the time. These incldue an electric garage door at a residential home that has a motion detector to open the door. The Criterion DVD also contains an introduction to the film by Terry Jones and there is also a short film, "L'école des facteurs" or "Postman School" which is also quite good. This DVD was out of print for a while but was reissued in February 2004

Summary: A Chaplin-like Boring Movie.
Review: Very pretentiously made. I've tried very hard to be very interested in watching it but finally decided not to finish it. This is an out-of-date French movie. The so-called Oncle is actually a mindless moron with good heart. The movie failed to tell the people what kind of love and strong bondage is between the kid and the uncle but only tried to make the uncle character a French Jerry Lewis or Charlie Chaplin and failed miserably. Don't even understand how it could have won a best foreign movie title, or just like the lousy 'Lif is Beautiful', simiply by winning it since there were no other films in the contest better than this one? Or, what? Sorry, totally clueless.

Summary: You have to see it
Review: You will laugh.
You will chuckle.
You will grin.
Man meets technology, country meets city, aspirational meets grounded, the Academie meets Disneyworld, flesh meets plastic, dog meets game, sentiment meets nostalgie, and all with a master's direction.
The answer to that age-old poser: if a fountain splashes alone in a courtyard, does anybody get cool?
I wish I had the funds for the dvd. The last time (about the twentieth) I saw it was in the cinema.
Go on, see it.
