J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 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. Jun 28, 2022 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post Laughless, pointless and downright creepy. Rated: 0/4 Jun 30, 2006 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 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. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 30, 2006 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Ultimately, Paul's plight is just not that interesting, and when the neighborhood stridently turns against him, the film veers into absurdity. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com Frankly, I wouldn't want him touching my toddler. Rated: 3/5 Sep 28, 2006 Full Review Frank Ochieng Movie Eye 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 Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 2, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member pretty cute and kinda touching movie! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member pretty cute and kinda touching movie! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member It reminds me a lot of Micheal Jackson's case Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Was a very funny movie with a good message Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
