A TV producer convinces an opinionated Armenian (Vahik Pirhamzei) to be on a reality show and to whip a dysfunctional American family into shape before it falls apart.

Los Angeles Times

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

Rated: 3/5

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.

Rated: 2/5

Film Journal International

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.
