Say Uncle Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
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.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Ultimately, Paul's plight is just not that interesting, and when the neighborhood stridently turns against him, the film veers into absurdity.
Filmcritic.com
Don Willmott
Frankly, I wouldn't want him touching my toddler.
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
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
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Paige makes a strong debut as a writer/director with this original black comedy.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Laughless, pointless and downright creepy.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
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.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A comedy about a suspected gay pedophile is something even Mel Brooks might balk at, but Say Uncle would have benefited from his ability to turn bad taste into good feature.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
As written and portrayed by Paige, his protagonist comes across a lot less like an oddball, misunderstood naif than he does an irritatingly self-absorbed loser with some serious boundary issues.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
A movie that made my skin crawl.
Los Angeles Daily News
Glenn Whipp
Peter Paige's Say Uncle aims to be a dark comedy about the dangers of preconceived ideas, but the movie plays as a broad cartoon that speaks to the peril of having no ideas as a filmmaker.
Boxoffice Magazine
Kim Williamson
A film that has a lot going for it, including supporting roles by the likes of Kathy Najimy and Melanie Lynskey, Say Uncle -- which lead actor/filmmaker Peter Paige mischaracterizes as a comedy -- nonetheless founders.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
...[the hero is] such a mess that you wouldn't trust him with anything, let alone your kids.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
[Peter] Paige has created an engaging and insightful entertainment with considerably more substance than most small-budget, independent gay films.
Film Threat
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Say Uncle is both a heartbreaking tale of loss, and a cautionary tale to parents out there, and there won't be a dry eye in the house when the film is finished.
L.A. Weekly
Scott Foundas
You'll be begging for mercy well before the end of this self-righteous, thoroughly unsavory 'farce.'
Variety
Robert Koehler
The politics of homophobia and child molestation receive a badly misjudged tweaking in Queer As Folk star Peter Paige's writing-directing debut, Say Uncle.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Page makes the mistake of arguing a thorny case from the same juvenile perspective of his colossally self-absorbed character.
