Uncle Nick

Nothing like watching a drunken Uncle around the holidays. Had some laughs.

If there was a website for Christmas movies only, this movie would be a 9 at least.

I'm pretty sure the low amount of ratings is the reason why it's rated so high, cause I see a lot of people who wouldn't like this movie at all.

I'm not sure if it's intentional, but the main character (played by Brian Posehn) is played kinda poorly, he's still very fun and entertaining, but sometimes it'd feel like he could've done a lot better. With that said, playing poorly kinda helped the awkwardness of his character, so there's that.

The plot was very cool, the way the movie was done was super original and the visuals were nice. The ending was very interesting too.

Idk if it's because I couldn't watch it with a lot of sound, but I feel like I didn't love it as much as I should've, though it was a super nice experience.

Love the two lead cast but it just didn't win me over. Not a great watch as I hoped it would be.

"Uncle Nick" is not going to be everyone's favorite Yuletide flick. A whole lot of religiously minded adults are going to be apoplectic at this one. And a bunch of innocent young kids are going to have some intensely bad dreams if they're allowed to watch it. But if you're a genuine fan of intentionally dark comedy, clever dialogue, streaks of gross out humor, a handful of cringeworthy sex scenes, all tempered with a surprisingly sentimental undertone, you're going to absolutely love this movie.

"Uncle Nick" features the boldly visual comic domain of comedian Brian Posehn. The film's wince-producing tone comes out swinging with the burning image of a very portly Nick lounging around in his underwear. It's not a pretty look. And right when you begin to think this is going to be a debacle of vaudeville sight gags, in a more temperate tone, Posehn begins a voiceover targeting "The mistake by the lake," Cleveland, and from there it steadily escalates into the actual true story of the bloody fan riot during a Cleveland Indians baseball game. See? That's it. But not all of it.

Uncle Nick speaks to the stark misery some people feel during the holidays, the unspoken taboo of silently hating other family members, and what happens when you're so drunk at Christmas there is no going back except to keep drinking.

I enjoy this film for what it is: A very entertaining comedic look at ourselves during the most stressful time of the year, Christmas.

I was very torn while watching this movie. It's not the worst of the worst, but it's also not completely terrible. There are moments that I found some very light enjoyment in and a lot of it was pretty sorrowful for the most part. Like I said earlier, it does kinda have a trick surprise at the end, but in it all, it just felt like high school drama type stuff. Also I have a pretty wide range of tolerance when it comes to dark comedy, but this was just a little bit more depressing than comedic (for my taste). I can see how some people might be interested in that deeper depressing dark humor, but it focuses a lot on sexual innuendos and really nothing more. The movie just felt more bleak instead of making me bust out laughing. I don't hate on the movie, it's just not quite for me. I'm not saying people shouldn't watch this movie, just know what you're in for when you do. I want to call it a Christmas classic, but it was just too dirty and scandalous instead of Christmas cheer for me.
