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

Rated: 3/5

Slant Magazine

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.

Rated: 2/4

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.
